Went to Project Pub with my fiancé for dinner. We ended up sitting downstairs in the basement, which had a cozy, laid back feel. The place itself was nice, nothing super fancy or Instagrammable, but it had its own charm. The service was great and probably the highlight of the night. The deviled eggs were really good, and Jake ordered a few interesting things that were fun to try. Overall, the food was good, just nothing that really wowed me. We ordered more than what I managed to take pictures of because my phone died halfway through dinner. Still had a good time and would come back for the service and to try something different. read more

Came by here with my training team after a long day of corporate learning. This place is an old school house/business so the house is the main eating area while the basement is the bar/happy hour area. Drinks were very good and fairly priced. We had a group of 7 and had drinks and several appetizers for under $250. Here in Cali that would be easily in the mid to high $300s. They have good beers on draft (sorry I forgot the name of the one I got but it was a porter). Give this place a visit but come early as it gets packed! read more

Made reservations as the new updated drink menu looked great. The constant annoyance of having to check in project PUB but have to go back out and around the building to go to tapastre is something we are use to but still such a dumb setup. We ordered drinks on the new meno but the bartender said they didn't have everything they need downstairs and it's only served upstairs. Just so stupid. We ended up just having a beer instead of multiple cocktails. We ordered food and it came out so fast. The food was solid but nothing great. We were done in under an hour and the place was half empty on a Saturday night so not sure why they seemed to rush us. Didn't even get a dessert menu. We will take a break from this place. read more

I came here with a coworker for dinner one night. There was no room at the bar so we ended up going with a table. We were the first two in the room, but there ended up being a few very loud parties that also ended up sat in the room with us - totally not the fault of a restaurant for that, but just know that sound carries in the room on the opposite side of the hall from the bar. The vibes of the old house were great though! Once sat, our waitress was alright. She was kind of quiet (especially once the louder groups were in) and not overly friendly, but food and drink delivery was prompt so that was nice. I got a cider and my coworker had a couple of beers. We split the caramel shrimp (very tasty) and I also had the cheddar IPA soup. The soup was good but could have used maybe just a bit more salt for my taste. He wound up getting the pub burger and said it was delicious. I had the BLT and added fried chicken. The chicken wasn't the fried chicken I imagined (not as breaded/crispy) but the sandwich was really good! Overall, it was a neat spot that I'd go back to if I was in town. read more

Came here for a galentines day brunch with some friends. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. We made a reservation but restaurant was not crowded for a Sunday mid day brunch. I ordered the chicken and waffle sliders which were very tasty! Two of my friends got the eggs benny (one with crab cakes and one with Taylor ham) which they both enjoyed and one friend got the cheesesteak which she said was good as well. Three of us got the special Valentine's Day martini flight. I thought they were tasty but they came in tiny beer glasses which we all thought was a little strange. Overall good experience and would come back! read more

Food and drinks are hit or miss have been a handful of times. Usually get a cosmo one time was perfect another time too heavy on the cranberry. I enjoyed the brunch food more than dinner, meat platter stood out for brunch. It does get busy at the bar during the weekend so come early, cool spot to meet up with friends. read more

Really enjoyed my Thursday night here! The space feels cozy and intimate, with that just right lighting that helps you unwind. Steven behind the bar was super friendly. We even chatted about Neil Young, which made the night feel extra welcoming. Food-wise, the Caesar salad with grilled chicken was spot on. The dressing had great flavor and the chicken was sliced thin, so every bite came together nicely. I also tried the duck fat fries, crispy and indulgent, with a smoky ketchup that was tasty. I might personally love an aioli sometime, but that's just a preference, not a knock at all. All in all, great vibes, great service, and really solid food. Definitely a place I'll come back to. read more

Still awesome - loving how creative and unique the cocktails are here thanks to Max and Rocco. Definitely the best place to get a drink in Somerville for beer and cocktails with the friendliest bartenders. If you come on Thursdays you can get the special tiki menu instead of the usual cocktails (and normal beer menu). There's also tiki food specials! We tried the tiki pizza and it was thin crust and delicious. Happy hour runs 4-6 pm Wednesday through Saturday and the "Girl Dinner" (Caesar salad and fire for $9) excellent. read more

The drinks here are the best! The bartenders whip up creative cocktails that change often! I've gone here several times for drinks but also for brunch. This may be one of my favorite brunch spots in Somerville -- wish they did brunch on Saturday also and not just Sunday's. They have a mimosa flight which the flavor also rotates based on the season! I have yet to try the watermelon mimosa which I need to! For brunch I love their pancakes as they are so fluffy or the Sunday Sandwich! read more

I went to Project PUB for the first time on Wednesday evening for a meetup group social. I was very excited because I had passed by and always wanted to try it out. The bar had excellent beer and drink options, although I will say the sour I had might've been a little too sour... I didn't eat anything, but seeing the plates that were served to other patrons, I would definitely be willing to return and try their food, as it all looked scrumptious! Project PUB is a decent size restaurant with a bar on one side and a dining room on the other. There is also a porch with tables and chairs set up. I enjoyed this as it gave my friends and I different settings to move around in, especially when the bar area became too stuffy due to the large amount of people there. Overall, the drinks were pretty good, the food looked great, and the environment was nice. I'll have to do another review when I go back and try the food. read more

Can't speak for the food but can speak for the drinks! Tucked away in what appears to be an old residential house, the ambiance of this place feels just like home and old fashioned. Excellent place to catch up with friends like we did, not too quiet but not too loud. The drinks were 10/10. The bartender was so much fun to chat with and I loved that they had an entire menu dedicated just to espresso martinis. Asked for a spicy drink and was met with a delicious mezcal drink. It's my go to drink and I was not disappointed. Loved it! read more

I came here for brunch on a Sunday morning. We made reservations before coming in and were seated immediately on the top level upon arrival. The ambiance were casual, rustic, and homey. Mimosa Flight- This came with an orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, and watermelon mimosa. It was a great deal and such a wonderful way to try all the different flavors. We loved the passion fruit mimosa so much that we ended up getting a pitcher of it! Bloody Mary Board- This came with deviled eggs, pickled veggies, shrimp, and toast. It reminded me of a charcuterie board. Loved all the different elements on it but did feel disappointed that it only came with two pieces of shrimp (I was expecting more as it was the first thing listed under the board on the menu). The Benedicts- A solid egg Benedict with a jersey twist. The hash browns were fried perfectly as well. This is perfect if you're looking for a classic brunch item. I enjoyed my time at Project PUB and look forward to visiting again! read more

Stopped by for the first time last weekend and was pleasantly surprised! I've been a huge fan of tapastre so I was happy to see they are part of the same establishment. There was a beer festival going on but we were able to get some seats. We got cheese fries and the bar pie to share and the pizza is soooo good! I remember ordering multiple when o used to go to tapastre so was really glad they have that. The menu looks great so will be back for a full dinner! read more

Sat upstairs with a party of 4 for brunch, and we didn't have to wait long. The tiki mimosa was to die for, and was a great change from your classic mimosa. We shared a meat board (breakfast meat that is!) and I had fried chicken Benedict. The food was very fresh. read more

This appeared to be an old residence prior to the food establishments taking over. There was one in the basement and another on the main floor. The décor was very old-fashioned and cozy. Regarding the menu, there were mostly small plates, appetizers, and sandwiches with a lot of variety. The food came out in a timely matter as well. For starters, the vegetable dumplings ($9), drunken clams on fire ($11), and jalapeno-raspberry beef kebabs ($10) were ordered. There were 5 vegetable dumplings to an order that came with Asian slaw, and a soy-ginger dipping sauce. These were very crispy, but inconsistent regarding the filling. The sauce was a little too salty. The clams were littleneck clams with crushed red pepper, jalapenos, beer, and tomato broth. These were some of the biggest clams I have ever seen!! There were 9 of them I believe. The sauce had an enjoyable kick and each clam had a jalapeno slice to up that heat. The grilled bread soaked up the light sauce tremendously. The kebabs had a side of roasted red potatoes and an argula-frisee salad. There were 2 skewers with large pieces of beef. The salad and potatoes were a nice complement to the flavor of the beef, which was a nice blend of sweet and spice. The fried chicken tower ($16) and beer mac & cheese ($12) was shared for dinner. The tower consisted of beer battered boneless chicken thighs with coleslaw, and beer mustard on a ciabatta roll. This was another huge dish! The chicken was cooked to perfection and went together nicely with the beer mustard. The duck fries on the side were decent, a little inconsistent in the flavor. The mac & cheese was topped with herb breadcrumbs and had a side of spinach. Unfortunately, the spinach was my favorite part about this dish as it was very flavorful. There were just too many breadcrumbs present and took away from the overall cheese taste for me. Will I go back? I would. read more

We've been to Project Pub and Tapastre a handful of times and we always enjoy our meals no matter what we get. The salmon sliders are always a staple. The salmon is crispy on the outside, and perfectly pink/juicy on the inside. The lemon aioli really brings these sliders together for a perfect bite. The grilled peach salad was packed with prosciutto and mozzarella pearls but was a little too salty for our taste. Yukon gold potatoes are used for the patatas so they are perfectly creamy on the inside, but we were prefer them to be crispier on the outside. However, the saffron aioli was delicious!! We used it all with the wedges! Our server was very sweet. The restaurant itself is in a cool location that's off of Main Street so you're away from most of the hustle and bustle of downtown which is nice. read more

This was a nice brewery spot that my girlfriend and I stopped at on a Friday night. We sat at a high top table by the bar. The beer menu had a nice selection of craft beers. We ordered a couple of different IPA beers to start the evening. The beers tasted great. I really enjoyed them. We then ordered an order of beer Mac and Cheese, with fried chicken on top. This was delicious and hit the spot. It was a nice portion to share between the two of us. Great tasting Mac and Cheese from this place. This place also had a nice atmosphere and vibe. The staff were great too. Overall, we had a fun time here. read more

LOVE this place. I am not a local but from sitting at the bar a few times, this is definitely a place that has regulars. That being said I've only sat at the bar, for drinks and shareables. The crispy fish tacos may be the best I've ever had and I've gone back for them a few times. Being that the margherita pizza is not a traditional pizza, it was still very tasty and had a nice lightness about it. As someone who doesn't typically like clams, the clams on fire has an incredible heat to them that masks the actual clam taste and I love dipping the crostini in the sauce. Like I said, I love this place and definitely would be a regular if I lived close by. read more

My first experience with Project PUB is during COVID-19 and from the start I am impressed with their efforts to provide a safe and sanitary customer experience. There is plenty of outdoor seating, the staff is very cognizant of personal space (social distancing) and are all wearing masks. The beers on tap are very unique and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try them! I'm not sure I would have easily found them in stores or outside their respective breweries. The pizza was also interesting. The crust was crisp and thin like a standard bar pie, but tasted buttery like a biscuit. It actually was quite delicious in conjunction with their excellent cheese and the thin, juicy tomato slices. I also enjoyed the basil/oil lines that added extra flavor. read more

I met my friend here for happy hour for my first visit to Project Pub. The signage was a little confusing outside, I wasn't actually sure where to go since there's a separate dining and bar entrance. I eventually made my way to the bar and the bartender was pretty indifferent during our interaction while I requested a table. I snagged a high top and waited for my friend, perusing the menu. Upon her arrival, we were able to place drink orders quickly with our server and I ordered a sangria flight. To my surprise and elation, the flight had full-sized glasses, which made the 3/$15 price tag definitely seem worth it. The bartenders definitely had fun with each other, but didn't engage much with any of the customers. We decided to share deviled eggs and patatas, both dishes were delicious and well-seasoned. I would say Project Pub is worth visiting for the drinks and food, but don't expect stellar service. read more

I just went there last night for dinner with a friend. The food menu has a lot of good options such as their veggie dumplings. I had a chicken sandwich and my friend and I shared the stout brownies, which were delicious. The service was great. The waitress was kind and courteous to my friend and I by checking on us. The ambiance is very cozy and classy. I felt like I was at home but out also at the same time. Looks from the place can be deceiving until you go inside. I definitely would recommend going again. read more

Good ambiance and drinks, bad service. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. The place was completely empty and remained empty the whole time we were there abs still they turned people down. There a was 2 bartenders, a guy and a girl. The guy was good, and the girl was just rude. She spent the whole time talking to someone who worked there, gossiping and complaining about customers while we needed to order stuff. When I asked her if they had a pumpkin drink, she told me to look at the menu. The food was also not good. We ordered the crab cakes, the French fries, the Mac and cheese with pork belly and the pork pizza. The Mac and cheese lacked salt, but it did come with asparagus and the asparagus was pretty good. The crab cakes were really really good and the pizza was just ok. The runner would drop of food and leave the dirty plates at the bar, when we asked her to take it, she said she had no more hands. The drinks were good! I ordered two beers and a cocktail, all really good. They have a good selection of drafts and the drink the rude girl made was delicious!!! read more

I came here for the Somerville Craft and Brew Fest held by Tapastre and Project PUB. This was held right in downtown Somerville on the corner of Main Street and stretched a couple of blocks by the courthouse. I wasn't sure what to expect,but I knew there would be an opportunity to taste and try many one of a kind IPA's and local beers from different breweries all in one place. They had Red and White Sangrias, and bottled water if you weren't into beer, but again it was a Brew Fest. The vibe was very upbeat and hip. The sun was shining bright and beating down with alot of humidity but that didn't stop anyone from having a good time. I was very lucky to get a parking spot right up in front so I didn't have to walk far like, only 10 feet. There was very tight security, big large bouncers in Black uniforms and Somerville police walking around. They were all very nice , including all the vendors and staff. Every single person got proofed including me. This event was very organized. Everyone received a wrist band to enter and a small plastic beer mug to sample different beers for $2 a tasting.. You could also choose to purchase a full size cup for $5. The beer stands and food stands were intertwined one next to the other. This was great , again not a lot of walking. There was even a few vendors selling unique tee-shirts and goods. As I made my way to the different beer tents I noticed they even set up a covered area for people to Paint n Sip. ( You purchase a canvas and an artist walks you through step by step showing you how to paint a simple picture.) You follow along step by step, all the while your drinking libations. I'm not sure what the cost was. There was a Gyro stand, a Mexican stand, selling Street Corn and food. A Burger stand selling burgers and hot dogs, an Empanada stand with four different varieties to choose from. There was even a Polish tent with fresh grilled Sausages, Kielbasa, and bratwurst. The fresh Mimi donuts being served on a stick was a big hit. Right next to the beer and food stands was a huge tent with lots of tables and chairs. This was a nice place to sit and eat and gather with friends. It also provided great coverage from the heat and drizzling rain at times. The sidewalks were open but they were fenced off in the entire Beer Fest area. You entered from Main Street and the far end. There were only a handful of kids. This is definitely an adult Festival. At the far end of the block was a stage set up. I saw a total of 4 different bands play who happened to be very good.. There were high hat tables set up all around. Right next to the stage was giant and I mean giant beer pong game made out of large garbage cans painted bright red like Solo cups and a huge ball for throwing. This was a big hit, everyone really got into it especially since people were drinking and enjoying the music. It was a fun day for all, the weather held for the most part and no one got out of hand. Every year this event gets better and better. This is definitely worth attending... read more

2.5 stars Okay. So. I really, really wanted to enjoy this place. What an awesome concept! I love the idea. I just absolutely hate the food. Also, I didn't get a flight but my boyfriend did and they're $18 - which, like, woah. My boyfriend and I got the vegetable dumplings and the wild mushroom flatbread to share. Both were just...bad. There's no way to dance around it, they were not good. The wild mushroom flatbread was so wet and bland. I added salt and pepper and tried to put some sauce on it from my friends' meal but it wasn't salvageable. The dumplings were super greasy and tasteless. I don't know if I would give it another shot. My friends go frequently and are always raving about it. Unfortunately, my first time was incredibly underwhelming. Hopefully it was just a fluke. read more

I really dig the month-long brewpub popup concept. They basically feature a different brewery each month and customize their menus along with them to pair. I didn't try any food, but came here for drinks after work. I had the Brotherton IPA, which I liked but still decided to switch it up on one of my rounds to try something different. I ended up not liking what I chose when I did that and the bartender allowed me to trade out the beer I didn't like to another Brotherton IPA free of charge. I really liked sitting out on the patio in the nice weather throwing back a few brewskies. This place is great. read more
