Cambridge Pub Sessions Bring Irish Music Into A Booth

The pub at 1920 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge has taken over an existing restaurant space, balancing a large layout with a cozy feel. Its Irish sessions put the musicians directly in a booth, where they play every evening at 7 PM. Local taps and hearty fare share the setting with this nightly playing.

Next door at Toad, the stage moves beyond traditional sessions, with a programme that ranges from gypsy jazz to late night covers. The pub kitchen offers burgers, pulled pork and a separate plant based menu. Upstairs, another room also hosts open mics, trivia and private gatherings, giving the address more than one kind of evening.

Doors open Monday through Friday at half past eleven AM and Saturday and Sunday at half past ten AM, closing at 1 AM Sunday through Wednesday and 2 AM Thursday through Saturday.
