Blizzard: Bars Open in Cambridge/Somerville

No, but if you're willing to invest the six or seven hours necessary to get from Cambridge to Allston, Deep Ellum's open.

 

I imagine Craigie on Main and Kirkland Tap and Trotter are open. Bonus- they always have awesome blizzard/snow deals. Both have a very well thought-out, albeit short, taplist

 

Per twitter, 5 horses, foundry on elm, painted burro, park, temple bar & grafton st seem to be open. Coda and salty pig, too, in boston.

 

Canbridge common, Russell house and Grendel's added to the open list. Lots of choices for the cambervillians.

 

GF and I already had Valentine's reservations for Craigie tonight at 9pm. Hell or high snow, we're getting there (1 hour walk through subzero wind chills possible means).

 

I've seen on twitter that both Christopher's in Porster Sq. and Alden & Harlow in Harvard Sq. are open.

 

very happy I hauled out from Trillium yesterday! steaks will be on tonight with my Galaxy Fort Point

 

Craigie is my go to for special occasions as well. Love the upscale food with less pretension. If you haven't already tried them, I can't say enough about their crispy fried pigs tails. They also have more of a beer cellar than they let on- the group next time me was offered (and purchased) a HF Vera Mae the last time I was there

 

Thanks for the cellar list tip! It's been tops on my and my gfs list of places to go for like 2 years now, but hasn't happened for whatever reason (I blame Row 34 opening to be honest). We're doing the Sunday Chef's Whim menu, so I don't think we get a choice on the pig's tail, sadly.

 

Craigie's nose to tail pig dinner is some epic shit

 

So yeah, Craigie has a second menu with some rarer stuff and sours (Caractere Rouge, some Vintage Rodenbach's, etc.) that you have to ask for. No HF offered though; that table must have had some connections or spent some $.

Edit: If you care, the Chef Whim's prix fixe is absurd. I don't know if it was because of Valentine's Weekend, or the snow, or that we said that we said we walked an hour to get there, but they just kept bringing us food. I started laughing at one point.

 

@Auror excellent choice for the V-day dinner. Craigie on Main never fails to disappoint. We've been going there for special occasions and regular nights since the "Cragie St Bistrot" days. Mind blowing food. Just a few taps but always well curated and a short but killer bottle list.

FYI: I believe Kirkland Tap and Trotter also has a second beer menu with rarer/large format bottles. Make sure to ask if you go.
