Beat Brew Hall

Excellent beer and a unique vibe. Beat Brew Hall reopened recently. The beer selection was not extensive but carefully chosen. There is a great vibe, with good music, dimmed lights, and a cool vintage-ish feel. Very big space and counter, ideal for larger groups. Prices are a bit on the higher side for a bar, especially for food. Vegetarian options: Quite a few vegetarian options. Wheelchair accessibility: Low accessibility. Several stair flights with no elevator in sight.

Wait times: it wasn’t busy when we visited and we got seated immediately. We also ordered and were served very quickly Food: it was mediocre. I had the sirloin steak and it was fine, nothing special.

Loving the beer selection and overall atmosphere.

Do not recommend for brunch. The menu is so-so and food was not great. Some if the portions are very small for the price you are paying. Service also was bad, took forever to get orders, drinks and the check. I’ve heard dinner is good here but did not enjoy brunch.

The music was nice and the overall experience was good. Nice environment for a fun night. The food was fine as well the drinks. The waiter was very friendly and the service was quick.

Good food and vibes really enjoyed the menu! The waitstaff was great as well. UPDATE: second time around What’s a review if you’ve only had one experience? I decided to come back to the beat brew hall for a meal and a football game as I enjoy the buffalo cauliflower here. Today I ordered the chicken verde tacos to go along with my appetizer. Let’s just say nothing is perfect and there must be a flaw somewhere. These tacos missed the mark by a mile. I am a HUGE taco fan and this just didn’t cut it. It looked good when they bought it out however the taco was so moist the corn shell fell apart. Had they used 2 shells like a traditional Mexican taco it may have held better. They got the burger order wrong that my friend ordered well done that came out medium. No big deal but we also asked for no Chile sauce due to IBS and it came back or cooked perfect but there was still Chile sauce on the burger‍ It’s not how you fall it’s how you bounce back right? Well our server Sarah was very professional and hospitable. Comping the meal and offering a free appetizer. Job well done! Atmosphere gets a sever gets a food needs work but I’m sure the beer selection makes up for it! Gots to stop by and try them out!

Despite the average food/drink selection, my friends and I used to come here since they reopened because it was always empty and we could reliably get a table. In general, ok, service is always a bit tense/weird but whatever. Recently, however, we made a reservation for a table in the evening around 9pm and were denied a table for our group because we weren’t each ordering a full meal we told them we were planning on sharing some food. Waitress had a very hostile & argumentative attitude, it was weird. None of us plan on going back- sucks, we would have liked to support a local business that doesn’t seem to get much footfall

This is a nice bar and not crowded on a Friday night. Drinks were fine.

Great place with good food. Had a party of about 25 of us in there for brunch and they were pretty accommodating. We didn’t have enough seating for us all to be together, which was a little frustrating but I’ll keep it a 5 star because they were pretty good about taking care of our moving around, ordering lots of drinks, and food requests. For a reasonable size group it would be awesome.

Cute little basement restaurant and bar right in Harvard Square. Wandered in for a drink and an app. Excellent draft selection. They also happen to carry my favorite cider - bRose by Citizens Cider. It’s grossly overpriced at $12 for a 12 oz can which is what keeps this establishment from a full 5 stars. I guess they have to keep the lights on! Service was fantastic. I will probably be back.
