John Harvard’s Cambridge

Just steps away from Harvard University on historic Harvard Square, our Cambridge location is the birthplace of John Harvard’s Brewery and Ale House, opened in 1992.

There is always something happening at John Harvard’s Cambridge.

Experience history made fresh… in a beautiful new space!

Come visit the new John Harvard’s Brewery & Ale House, in our beautifully updated home at 33 Dunster Street in historic Harvard Square. An excursion below street level unfolds into a newly-renovated space, with decor and furnishings that blend John Harvard’s historic character with modern casual elements, for a welcoming dining experience.

A comfortable setting and good comfort offerings highlight the menus–from the beer to the cuisine, everything is made fresh from scratch incorporating seasonal, local and organic ingredients.
