Love it. Great place for after work drinks but also for dinner and drinks with friends. Staff is very friendly and fast though it seems to be always busy over here. Food is great. Will be back for sure.

Conner and Abigail were delightful to chat with and the Mocktail with pineapple and ginger and lime was tasty. This bar is right near the boats you can take out onto the Charles, and there’s some street parking along side streets. There’s also rentable bikes all over the street. Fully accessible.

Love it! Come here twice already first time 6 months ago and again just yesterday. Service was good, friendly and helpful, and food was delicious! At their price range, I’m telling you it’s worth. Wish they have more varieties for food!

Really great spot in Cambridge. The bar area is perfect for a meal with coworkers. The menu is excellent (the grain salad is a must-try) and the cocktails are some of the best in the area. Always a reliable choice for great food and service.

Had a great time at The Locke Bar. The food and drinks were great and the staff were absolutely amazing! For drinks we ordered the cactus flower (the red drink served straight up) and the paper plane (the orange drink served on the rocks); we also got the brussel sprouts and the baked brie skillet, all pretty delicious! We'll definitely come back here.

I went here with family for the first time, and was blown away by the food. Everything was so delicious and beautifully plated. Everyone at our table ordered drinks and was very happy with them, and our dessert was gone within minutes. The service was great, the atmosphere and seating was very nice, and it was an overall great experience. A little pricey, but I will absolutely be coming back!

I went here for a marathon party. The space itself is really nice and spacious due to the large full length paneled windows on the exterior. The restaurant had a really warm vibe and atmosphere, in terms of decor/design, staff and guests. The service was really attentive. The food was OK but I only had some bites off shared plates. I’d come back here to check it out for a drink or a dinner depending on the mood. There’s a long bar with plenty of seating. Thanks!

We had the best experience hosting our wedding at Locke Bar! Pete and the whole team were absolutely amazing from start to finish — so kind, organized, and easy to work with. Pete went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from helping us test our playlist to customizing the menu (he even brought back the five spice ribs just for us!). The space looked beautiful with flowers and candles, and our guests are still talking about how great the food, drinks, and service were. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our day! (Photo credit Mparkos Creative)
