  I've been avoiding Grendel's Den for years for some reason, and I'm sorry I have, because it's a really nice, laid back local bar and restaurant.
  
  I can't vouch for the food as I only had drinks, but service was friendly and the ambiance was pleasant and dare I say even a bit homey.
  
  I had Danish mead here and felt like I was a true Nordic warrior.

  One of the coziest spots to snag a drink in the entirety of Boston. Nothing like watching the snow pile up around its high, tiny windows as you sip on a Dark 'n Stormy and slurp some soup or snack on some nachos.
  
  I'd give it 5 stars, but they don't serve french fries. Whoever made that decision should probably, you know, get fired.

  If you're a Tolkien fan, imagine the Prancing Pony of Bree. This is as close as you can get on this earth. It's a Harvard touchstone like no other, and the drinks are always great. The food is hit or miss; if you're a gourmet or especially health-conscious you might be pleasantly surprised. Food is half-off during their "happy hour" period, which makes this a great place to grab a cheap weeknight dinner. They also serve absinthe here, with the full "ritual"; if you haven't done it before, it's worth a shot. It involves fire, sugar, and a heck of a kick.
