1369 Coffeehouse
Coffee shop and arthouse combined. You'll probably visit the one in Central square, however.

A4cade
Roxy's Central
Beer, grilled cheese, and arcade games, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah, there's pinball too.

Charlie's Kitchen
In business since 1951, Charlie's is considered one of the last remaining businesses from the Harvard Square of old, before the big box chains moved in. It may be a dive, but it's an eco-friendly one; and boasts a great jukebox and three season patio to boot.
Sun-Wed 11AM-1AM, Thu-Sat 11AM-2AM

Flour Bakery
A delicious sandwich, coffee, and desserts shop constantly rated in Boston magazine in the "Boston's Best" rankings that also has its own nationally-available cookbook. Another location at the end of Albany Street, one in Harvard, and several more in Boston.

Grendel's Den
Serving basic American bar food, this dark and crowded Harvard tavern would be unremarkable, if it weren't for their incredible happy hour special, the quirky staff, and its proximity to the Harvard campus. From 5-7:30PM everything on the menu is half price with a beverage purchase of $3 or more. Skip the burgers... if you can get a table. Non-happy hour entrees $5-12.
Mon-Sat noon-1AM, Sun 4PM-1AM
- Drink
Lamplighter Brewing
Get ready to wait in line! Once you cross the threshold, sample some of these sought after craft beers that are the talk of the town. Brewers will often use Brettanomyces in their brews which produces a "funkier" flavor. They don't go overboard with it, but still, it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Tue-Sat 11AM-midnight, Sun 11AM-10PM
- Drink
Lord Hobo
A wide selection of interesting independent draught (pints in the $5-8 range) and bottled beers, wine and upscale bar food (entrees in the $10-20 range).
Mon-Fri 4PM-1AM, Sat Sun 11AM-2AM
- Drink
Miracle of Science
Popular with MIT grads, professors, and local tech company programmer types. Order off a slightly skewed periodic table of elements.

Fantastic local bakery and coffee shop. One other location north of the square near Porter.
