Visited Pheonix Landing on a Saturday evening around 6pm and our group of 5 found a booth in a quiet corner to sit together. I'm glad we found it when we did because it kept getting busier as the night went on and by 9pm it was very loud inside and standing room only!! We were waited on by two servers throughout the night and they were both friendly, they didn't really say much - they are there to do their jobs! Each beer was around $8-10, standard for Boston. We also had the Margherita ($20) and prosciutto pizzas ($22) and the bar nachos with chicken ($16+$4) to share. The food was nothing show stopping, but it was tasty (& especially so after a few pints. :) ) read more

How did you know I came here? I survived. Good pint of Guinness though Good service. Friendly folks and I am absolutely done writing this review read more

Was initially pleased to walk into a live jazz session. We were seated immediately. Service was kind but very aloof. Rarely have I ever had to stop a server to ask for refills, had to every time. Pizza was decent but nothing to write home about. Burgers came out a solid 10 minutes after the pizza and cold like someone forgot about them. Burger was kind of flavorless, the Phoenix. Burger "fried onion" was an onion ring. read more

Stopped by Phoenix Landing to start a night out with friends! Overall pretty solid experience -- they had good drinks and an okay menu. My margarita was pretty tasty and my friend's mule was a hit as well. We also grabbed the hummus which we enjoyed. We will be back! read more

The food here is better than what you'd expect from a local sports bar. We've gotten the steak, chicken quesadilla, pizza Margherita, salad - and they've all been pretty good. This is the place for sports viewing- during major sports events all 10 screens will be tuned to the same game so you can watch from any part of the dining area. Service was a little slow on Friday night- they seem a little short-staffed given the number of diners. read more

Came to watch a game, as they have a TV on the outside patio. Got a couple of beers to drink while enjoying the game. Was pretty packed but luckily we found a spot. Didn't try any food this time but would come back to watch another game. read more

Waited 45 minutes at the outdoor patio for a server then when I asked to speak with a manager she blamed me for not leaving my things unattended to go inside and get a drink. read more

the worst bar i've ever been to. dont go here! the bouncers are so so so rude and disrespectful. they over charge for a cover and also drinks, i would say never go here! read more

Great spot to grab a drink and dance the night away! This divey looking bar opens its floors up, and brings out the DJ for a fun night of dancing. It got very packed on a Friday night with mostly a young crowd. The drinks were okay, there are some TV's at the bar. I believe you can dine here since there were tables around, but not sure of the food menu. There was a cover to get in. I believe this is standard cover on the weekends. I was told before 10pm there is no cover. read more

It was an interesting experience. As a party of three ordering a little food and a couple of drinks, why would we automatically be charged a 20% gratuity on the check? Tipping 20% is usually no problem for me, but to be forced to do so without warning tells me maybe the owners aren't taking care of their staff the way they should be. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening for trivia and overall, my group and I were pretty disappointed by the experience which is sad to say. We probably won't be coming back either in the end. The event starts at 7pm every Wednesday, but I highly suggest going early to grab a table. Someone in our party was there starting at 6:20 and we were lucky to be by the stage, but that's where our luck kind of stops. The hosts did their best to speak over the crowd, but despite being asked to be louder and louder, the microphone system was faulty and the rest of the people in the room just kept getting louder to speak over them anyway. It made the experience impossible as we couldn't hear the hosts despite being near the stage so I can only imagine how bad it must've been for folks in the back. The questions themselves weren't bad and the format was interesting enough, it's just that the entire process was way too long ( we left early at around 9:30, implying that the entire trivia night probably takes closer to 2.5 - 3 hours ) and the rest of the people there really didn't seem to care that no one could hear the hosts. The food was also subpar - the nachos were pretty tasteless and one of my group mates had a mediocre burger with cold buns. It made sense for the food not to be great though as everyone arrives at once and the kitchen probably isn't prepared to handle a huge wave like that no matter how much they prep. In the end, definitely a lackluster experience. Kudos to the hosts and the staff working as they did their best to accommodate the huge crowd, it's just that overall, the various factors of the rest of the clientele and various circumstances led to an inadequate experience. read more

Kevin and Joe gave you the best experience in an Irish pub locally especially for Cambridge which has lost many businesses due to the last several years of change. Great Irish breakfast great pints on draft don't forget Dolores who is undoubtedly the best bartender I've run into in a long time speaking fluent Irish, as well as being as nice as you could ask for! Atmosphere always great and I always try to catch as many football games as possible when I'm in Central Square! Highly recommended. read more

Came here with friends to watch the Argentina vs Colombia game and we were seated outside in the patio. We got some food and beers while we waited for the game to start. All in all we had about a $200+ bill by the time the game started. We were seated to the side of the TV so it was a bit hard to see the game so we stood up and went right behind our friend group on the sidewalk so we could catch a better view while the first half happened. During halftime we went up to the bouncer and politely asked if we could use the bathroom, he said that no one is allowed inside anymore because they're at capacity, (the server later told us that when they count capacity they include both the inside and outside guests) we explained that we were sitting in the patio with our friends and we had a tab open with them. (We had already been counted for capacity purposes in this case) Other people were also coming out of the establishment at this time so we asked him if that could be an exception since people left the inside of the bar. All we wanted to do was go in, use the bathroom and go back out. He refused and just told us no, you can't come in period. By the way we saw multiple people that he allowed to go in and use the bathroom after this. It seemed like he was picking and choosing who to let in. I'm not gonna call racism on any of this because, that word gets thrown around loosely some of these days but he definitely had it against our group for some reason. Ok no problem we just went back to our friend group and were chatting with them for a bit, complaining a little bit that we couldn't use the bathroom, as anyone would normally do. At no time were we disrespectful or insulting the guy. The halftime was pretty long since they had a halftime show so me and one of my friends got hungry and we saw our server near the entrance of the patio, so we walked over there and stood in the little entrance area, patiently waiting for our server to finish speaking with an older patron so we could ask him if we could order some food to our table. (They had our card on a tab and remember at this point we already had a $200 plus bill racked up) After about 30 seconds of waiting, to our surprise, the 5' 2'' bouncer immediately gets up from his seat and starts pushing one of my friends out and yelling at us and telling us "Get the fuck out of here! I told you we're at capacity! " We were like "dude calm down, we're just trying to speak to our server", he continues "I said get the fuck out of here!" "Get out!" By the way we were on the sidewalk already from the first time he said "get the fuck out" as that was so embarrassing and we weren't trying to cause a scene. So I tell him, "I'm on the sidewalk, we're just trying to speak to our server; wtf is your problem" "what's your problem?" At this point my friend whose card they had on file told me to go back so I did as like I said, we weren't trying to cause a scene. He tried to reason with the bouncer and the bouncer started telling him to fuck off and to leave as well, he didn't believe we were actual customers at all. My friend told him" I can't leave, I have a bill to pay" only when we got our server to intervene and actually tell the guy that we were actual customers did the bouncer finally back off. The only reason we didn't leave and go somewhere else after all of this was because my friend's wife has a disability and has to walk around with crutches and we went there specifically so she could have a seat to watch the game and wouldn't have to stand. There are ways to do things and the bouncer immediately escalated the situation by going and pushing my friend out and yelling at us at the top of his lungs. He refused to believe we were customers when we had s $200+ bill racked up already. In case this guy tries to claim we were intoxicated, my friends who were sitting down were the ones who drank more but as well they were not intoxicated in any way shape or form. I had 2 beers, my friend 1 Adding this picture to show our empty seats that we weren't allowed to sit back in. read more

Come here for the outdoor seating and live music more than anything else. Drinks and food are solid, but definitely a bit overpriced. Service is attentive and continually brought us waters throughout the night. read more

We came here for geeks who drink trivia, which is rarely found in Boston, and that was really fun. Trivia starts at 7 but its gets very busy very fast so I wold recommend getting there at 6pm, which is when we did. My boyfriend and I shared the mozzarella sticks which were just okay, probably frozen. I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was fine, nothing special. The service was really slow and they didn't even bring us cutlery or napkins with our food until we asked. They also made some errors in our bill at the end. All in all, if you come for trivia make sure you eat first. read more

Halfway into my first drink of the night, a creepy guy comes up to flirt and when I turn him down gets outright threatening and aggressive. He says things like he'll wait outside for me and since I'm rude enough to say no he'll make me (Yelp would censor any more). I have thick skin but he terrified me. I told the only female bartender who said he'd be gone and got a bouncer. The bouncer hovered around like a shy 13 yr old boy at a dance rather than just going up to him. I only had one more drink that night because he was at the bar and stayed so I wanted to go, and yet threw up all night and had a massive "hangover " which if you're a woman who has ever been roofied knows what that means. 2 drinks doesn't do that to you. If they had taken care of the issue I asked them to I wouldn't have been in that position. Ladies,avoid at all costs. The least safe bar for women I've been to in a while. read more

Rob made the best espresso martini I've had in YEARS. Great local spot. Ambiance is great, friendly bar

Came here for Wednesday night trivia for the first and last time. Thankfully someone in my party of five arrived around 6:20pm to snag a table because it was packed. There's also seating outside for those who want to participate. The bar also seemed to always have folks who came solely for drinks. The trivia questions spanned a variety of topics and levels of difficulty, where only one or two of us in the group knew the answer. They also had creative formats, although apparently a portion of questions that were presented in GIF form didn't load for some groups. What we struggled with however was just how loud the place gets. It was difficult to hear the hosts (and each other) even though we were seated right by the front, as tables around us were screaming and cackling all night long. We could text the hosts questions and concerns, including to turn the volume up, but then other people would ask to turn the volume back down. We also didn't anticipate how long it'd be, with it lasting around 2.5 hours. The hosts were also trying their best trying to navigate technical difficulties with the mic cutting out in the middle of sentences. As for food and drinks, I got a can of Downeast Cider and Hoisin BBQ Chicken Fingers. Nothing special, but that's as can be expected at a generic sports bar. Since an influx of people come in for 7pm trivia, definitely expect a wait for your food. Overall, it's a fun place to do trivia, but if your hearing isn't great and you don't enjoy asking people to repeat themselves a billion times in a night, I'd pass. read more

Solid dive bar! No frills but surprisingly solid cocktail menu. Decent food too! I love the curry sauce they do with the fries. Service is a bit rough especially when sitting outside. Wish they put that stage in the back to use though around 5pm! read more

Phoenix Landing - Happy campers! - Irish Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This is a simple one. Don't go here. I honestly had no clue until looking up this place on Yelp that it was supposed to be an Irish bar. This came as an added surprise to me because our waitress didnt know what Jameson was, or Coors for that matter. I know this sounds preposterous, but it really happened, she didn't have a clue. That's not why I'm here though, because eventually we were able to obtain said Jameson and Coors. I'm here because of the state of the bathroom, literally covered in poop and one stall was missing a toilet seat, to add to it no soap. Thankfully we didn't eat here, can only imagine the state of the kitchen. read more

I went to the Phoenix Landing to watch a football game with a group of my friends and had such a bad experience that we left mid-game. The staff here were very rude and at one point were about to physically assault me and my brother. The food is okay but honestly the place itself isn't anything special. If you want mediocre food and drinks, and a side of rudeness with that, this is the place for ya... I hope the owner(s) see this and understand that who you employ and their behavior can make or break people's experience at your establishment read more

guinness draft, very good bar food, friendly and efficient service. convenient location

Great spot with an interesting vibe! The outdoor patio has typical nice ambiance with some fun decorations. The inside is a more dark/sporty vibe. On weekend evenings the inside will have loud music and dancing. They will also show sports games when applicable. In fact, this place is the local Liverpool bar. The drink selection is pretty good, the food less so: lots of choices but never felt it's great. read more

Happy hour every day 5-7pm! I love it. Calamari- little chewy but always tasty Wings- I always order them with the sauce on the side, super crispy and tasty Slider- decent size and the chipotle is delicious I've also had the normal sized (pretty huge) burger and the ruben, and both are pretty good. I usually come here for drinks but it's better to come for beer than specialty drinks. Totally worth the prices and the bartenders are pretty friendly :). read more

Great spot to stop by on any night of the week for some beer and drinks. During the sports season this is a top spot to catch the game. But since the NFL season is over they were playing jeopardy on TV LOL. They have plenty of TVs around the bar and table seating too. Some nights they move the tables away at night and turn the seating area into a dance floor. The bartenders are friendly and check on you often, even on busy nights. The Phoenix Burger was good. read more

Caring staff, delicious food, and it's tied together by a tight knit community of dedicated Liverpool Football Club supports.

We were visiting Boston and went to this bar to watch a Liverpool game. We had such an amazing time! It was so fun to be surrounded by Liverpool fans, and it was an all-around great time! We also got brunch there, which was good, but not the best brunch I've ever had. Stick to the drinks, which are fantastic. Either way, it was a great time and we will definitely be back to watch more games. read more

Your typical pub. Good food options. Friends and I split 3 appetizers: 1. buffalo wings (spicy but not unbearable...bleu cheese is perfect)...comes with about 8? Wings 2. Meatballs. Comes with 3 and smothered in sauce. They are pretty plump and flavorful, but somewhat dry. 3. Bacon poutine. The best of that 3. Shoestring fries with a creamy gravy. Perfectly crispy bacon. Fries are cooked well. Delicious. We came on a Friday night after having just left Lamplighter Brewery. I did not get alcohol because my liver was still processing my beer ...lame I know ... but my friends enjoyed their beverages (various beers and wines ...) It's very loud. Vocal chord damage inducing. But great ambience. Nice people. Clean bathrooms. Close to Central. Great place to be on a Friday night! read more

My friends and I came here for trivia night. I think being trivia night that made things a bit more difficult on the staff. We did wait a while for our food to come, my friend was charged for an extra drink (but to be fair we did have a free drink card we won in trivia so that probably confused things). We didn't have a server come to our table for quite a while at the beginning either. The food was fine, nothing unexpected of a pub. I had a plain cheeseburger with a side of mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were fairly plain - likely frozen. The burger was forgettable. My friend ordered a side of truffle fries that were very lightly seasoned and not cooked as much as I would prefer. Again it's a pub. read more

Really good food and drinks. Appetizers, cocktails, shots you name it they nail it! Prices are nominal considering its Cambridge area and it is typical dive bar.
