John Harvard's Brew House

Pros: Great beer, great food
Cons: None come to mind

I have been to three restaurant-brewpub locations in the John Harvard's Chain: Wayne, Pennsylvania; Framingham, Massachusetts; and Providence, Rhode Island (which is the Union Station brewery). Living in Rhode Island, I've obviously visited the...

Pros: nice atmosphere, variety of seating options, music isn't too loud for conversation
Cons: mixed serving experiences, so-so food for the price

The Epinions "Epi Day" get-together at John Harvard’s today was the best time I’ve had at that restaurant. Three venturous Epinions writers met in front of the John Harvard’s Brew House in Framingham, Massachusetts. We chatted for awhile seated on the ...

Pros: Beer, food, and atmosphere. What else counts?
Cons: It's not cheap.

Once a week I make out an email to a few people for our weekly trip to John Harvard’s. Not being one for dive bars or clubs, John Harvard’s is my favorite place to grab a drink. It is located on Rt. 347, 1 mile east of Nichols Road. It is easy to spot ...

Pros: Beer brewed in house (therefore fresh!), awesome meatloaf
Cons: Noisy some nights, food generally not spectacular.

This is a review of the John Harvard's at Harvard square. It's located on Dunster, which is a side street off Mass Ave. Across the street, you'll see the Finale pastry place. That's where you want to have dessert if you go to John Harvard's for beer and ...

Pros: Great Food and Great Beer
Cons: Too Dark? No More Brewers Platter

I’ve been dining at John Harvard’s Brew House for a number of years because they excel in two things that I am quite fond of: food and beer.

John Harvard’s strives to emulate a traditional colonial tavern. The Harvard Square location,...

Pros: Reasonable Prices, Good Food, Great Beer!
Cons: can be noisy

John Harvard's Brew House is a great place for lunch or dinner. It is a very short walk from the Harvard Square red line stop, which makes it very easy to get too without having the hassle of parking in Cambridge.

John Harvard's not...

Pros: birthday dessert is free
Cons: limited menu

I have eaten at John Harvards exactly three times in my life. One of the reasons is the location is not very convenient and parking is a terror. The second reason is the menu. It is very limited - or at least it was the time I went there.

...

Pros: Great food and beer
Cons: Inconsistent service

Don't confuse John Harvard's with the millions of other micro-brew pubs out there. Sure they have their own line of beer and more pub food than you shake a stick at - but it's actually GOOD food and GOOD beer.

First, let's talk about the beer...

Pros: good food, huge portions
Cons: beer-battered french fries

A John Harvard's Brew House opened up locally a while ago. It's across from a major shopping area which is very convenient! I've been there three times so far...

Upon entering, I have always been immediately greeted and seated at a nice...

Pros: Great service, Good Beer
Cons: Long waits and crowded seating

I suggest John Harvard's Brew House to anyone that's looking for good beer and great cuisine. When you first walk in you see a big bar and a lot of people crowded around and you think the food probably won't be great. But what you are neglecting to see...

Pros: Excellent beer. Good food. Yummy focaccia appetizer.
Cons: Dinners can be pricy.

My husband and live in the Pittsburgh region and frequent the John Harvard's Restaurant and Brew Pub located in Monroeville, PA. The restaurant itself is decorated in dark wood, with whimsical pictures on the wall showing the "Patron Saints of ...

Pros: Everything tastes great.
Cons: Beer & wine only, not mixed drinks

This is a micro brewery. I do not drink beer, but the food is great. I went on a Sunday night before the crowd and got marvelous service. We were seated immediately.

Every meal begins with a basket of fresh baked bread with a saucer of olive...

Pros: Great Beer, good food, good atmosphere
Cons: Can't get a drink quickly at the bar, crowded

I f your looking for a good satisfying meal with some pub-brewed beer to complement it then this place is for you. The atmosphere of the place can be overwhelming if you just want to sit at the bar with your friends though. A solution to that would be...

Pros: the beer
Cons: the food menu changes very frequently

This place has always been a favorite of mine. The beer is great. Always on your first visit, try the sampler. This offers a total of 5 different beers that you can try in a small shot glass. You can then choose your favorite for the rest of the...

Pros: Too many to list
Cons: usually a wait on the weekends

I love John Harvard's. Not because I dated two of the bartenders, or because I've been friends with the veteran staff for years. Not because the beer is so terrific (although it is good) or because the decor is so Cambridge. I love the food, love...
