Brick & Mortar

Love this place a lot! Been multiple times with friends for a casual night out for drinks and we've only had good experiences! The menu is enticing and leaves you wanting to try multiple of their house cocktails (all which have been really solid) and the staff is good at helping you decide what drink to get if you're unsure. Some of my favorites are the golden banana, what's new pussycat, and electric kool-aid acid test. Also their daiquiri time out (dto) is always a good option if you're looking for something to order for the table, to get the night started.The atmosphere is gives off speakeasy vibes, but is also very unpretentious. It's a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself without feeling out of place. From my experience, the crowd seems pretty young -- not necessarily college students but more like young professionals -- and it can get pretty lively when it's busy -- not overwhelming bar vibes, but more like a nice cocktail party / social event.This place remains a go-to spot when planning a night out in the Cambridge area!

Nice bartenders but they aren't chatty (we didn't try, so maybe they are!) One small tv screen, but that's fine given it's not a sports bar. It's more of a semi-speakeasy vibe; the entrance is hardly marked with a tiny plaque above the door, its dark inside and pretty quiet. But definitely not hidden like a classic speakeasy.Drinks: Apollo sunshine resembled a diluted apricot juice in a good way. The golden banana was strong on the banana, before mixing. Both were fairly strong. I'd return to try their other cocktails as they're pretty creative, but not necessarily for the vibe (we did go on a Monday so it was probably quieter than it normally would be, so maybe I'll take that back)

Really great spot for cocktails in Cambridge. Very unassuming entrance, you may miss it! Very dark and intimate vibe. It's always busy so be prepared for a little wait on the weekends. Their cocktails are always innovative, delicious and pretty strong! Their menu changes every so often so you can always try something new or go for a classic it will always be delicious!

This speakeasy has great drinks, definitely great for afterwork or a cute date. The bartenders are very attentive and they have spicy pineapple. I wish that they had a wider selection of tapas.

This place was okay, the vibe did not really give me major speakeasy vibes. It does have a sign on the door, but not a major sign or anything. The upstairs is a normal bar, but super loud and not super romantic or anything. The drinks are very expensive, but they are good I will say. The service was kind which I liked. Overall, I'd recommend if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

I had the pleasure of visiting Brick & Mortar for the first time this past Saturday evening around 7 PM, and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming lady at the front desk promptly seated me, ensuring a smooth start to my evening. One unique aspect of Brick & Mortar is their communal seating arrangement, where guests share tables with others. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive about this setup, but as the night unfolded, I found myself embracing the social atmosphere. The ambiance of Brick & Mortar is nothing short of exceptional. The carefully curated space exuded a delightful vibe that complemented the overall experience. I must commend the attentive server who catered to our needs throughout the evening. Their impeccable service ensured that we felt well taken care of, enhancing our overall enjoyment of the evening. As for the drinks, I opted for the Apollo Sunshine, and it was an absolute delight. The blend of flavors was exquisite, leaving me with zero complaints. Although I cannot comment on the food since my visit focused solely on drinks. In summary, my visit to Brick & Mortar was a delightful affair. The warm hospitality, inviting ambiance, and exceptional service left a lasting impression on me.

An superb quasi-speakeasy with truly excellent cocktails and food, perfectly curated music , beautiful environment , and extremely friendly and attentive service . Right in the heart of central square, but easy to miss bc if its purposefully modest entrance , this is a must- hit spot. Recommended to me and cannot recommend highly enough .

Awesome upstairs speakeasy style cocktail bar with a few apps. Gold rush, What's up pussycat, and Apollo Sundhine were fire. The boothby was bitter for my taste. Queso fondido with house chips and deviled eggs were great too. Service was quick and friendly. Look forward to trying other drinks.

I've been lucky enough to experience Brick and Mortar twice, and each time was an excellent experience! The staff is attentive and friendly and drinks are delicious. If you can, sit at the bar so you can see the cocktails being made- it's a true work of art. I recommend the "what's new pussycat?", especially if you are a lychee martini fan!

Definitely a hidden gem in Central Sq and Boston. The place has a speakeasy kind of vibe. If you aren't looking, it is pretty hard to spot the place as it only has a small placard for its signage. It has a very moody and yet relaxed ambiance tailored for drinking classic and contemporary cocktails. The place does offer small finger foods but you really come here for the drinks. Not a big place but they do have a standing room where you can order drinks while waiting for your seat at the bar. All the bartenders are very polite and friendly as well as attentive to your needs! The drinks are solid here with no skimping on the alcohol content as well as creativity. Would definitely come back for another night cap or hang with friends to wind down with a cool drink!
