Best selection of beers in Davis Square; no national brand here! There's generally about 30 on draught to choose from; many are local. The food is upscale comfort/pub; my favorite are the soft tacos!

I'd almost call this a theme bar. It's supposed to be reminiscent of old Speakeasy. The bartenders know their stuff and can easily come up with inventions according to your needs.

This is one of those places that I remember people stumbling drunk out of as a kid and so I have never set foot in there. It's a total Dive Bar, so if you're into that, this place is for you!

Irish Pub that has a faithful following. There's sometimes life music. The food is pub food and middling in quality. Beer selection last time I went was so-so.

This is NOT your typical pizza joint. Reservations are a good idea. Boasts the only place around with a pizza certified by the Neapolitan Pizza Authority. Crust is amazing.

This place is a Davis Sq. Landmark. Lines form daily to get it at night. It's Southern BBQ and, frankly, I don't like it, but so many people do, there most be something there!

Another fixture in Davis Square that's been here forever! And another place that you couldn't pay me to eat at. The pizza is ok and the prices are cheap; mostly caters to a college crowd.

This place is fun and is a converted (and still functioning) bowling alley. Weekend days it's full of screaming kids though. Bar is cool at night and so are the bartenders. Pizza is good.

The only Mexican place in Davis Square and a very good one at that. Don't go here for typical Tex-Mex. The bar side is MUCH nicer than the restaurant and is a new expansion.

A vegan/veggie place that does sandwiches, soups and smoothies. Not the friendliest people, but ingredients are high quality. Sandwiches are hit or miss and smoothies are good.

This is supposed to be Tibetan food but I can't tell the difference between what they serve and Indian. Seems to be very popular; might be worth a second try.

A falafel place where you assemble your own sandwich. I'm generally opposed to having to build my own food; I'd stay home for that. However, the falafel seems good, though I'm no expert.

Dave's makes fresh pasta in house and I would recommend it for sandwiches; they are big and hearty! They use very good ingredients.

This place has a lot of imported Italian items. Do not buy anything from the back shelves, it's all expired goods. The fresh stuff can be very good.

Everything Else
The first yogurt bar to Davis and a PinkBerry wannabe. They have some nice flavors and the yogurt tastes like yogurt (it's sour). Price climbs very quickly with topping and is sold by weight. Not bad.

Davis' Historic Landmark Theater/Cinema. They actually serve beer here that you can take into the theater. It's a good choice and often has events happening. Summertime they serve cheap ice cream.
