About this business
A gold-lettered, checkered awning hangs over the entrance to this brick-walled establishment, which has a copper-topped bar, mirrors and deep booths inside. The menu includes rabbit tenders, fondue, oysters and bouillabaisse. The wine selection is displayed behind the bar, where you can order appetizers and entrees for a quick bite. Liquid refreshments include frozen drinks, mudslides and pina coladas. Young professionals and locals head here after work in droves, and the high-top tables allow for good people watching.

Avoid TEMPLE BAR CAMBRIDGE – A tidal wave of bad luck or just poor service. Take my advice, spend your money and your time looking for better dining experiences. The food was greasy, fatty, undercooked and thrown on a plate. Our service was an order taker and made no recommendations and offered no guidance. I found that what little knowledge I had about thier Wine List was volumes over what our Waitperson possessed. Entrees were overpriced and the bread was not available at 8pm. Another disappointing Night! AVOID TEMPLE BAR ... read more
Time for a Change – This little wannabe Bistro needs an Overhual. Fire the Chef & Hire Waitstaff that actually enjoys working. Small Portions and Overpriced Drinks and Entrees will keep this Consumer & Friends away from this Mass Ave Diaster.
something for everyone – Unbelievable! Great food, amazing service--then we stayed late night and met some beautiful girls. This is a place to bring your grandmother for brunch, your parents for dinner and then put them all in a cab and get wild with your friends at the bar.
Must Try It – I have had a great time every time I go here. Great seafood and music. Fun staff. Gets dark and loud and really puts you in a scene.
Great Service – Even though we had a reservation we ended up waiting quite a while for a table but the bar was great so we didn't mind. We we did get sat they gave us three fantastic app's on the house as well as a great dessert. The management and server went out of their way to ensure a geat evening. We will certainly go back!
Not Typical – Anything but ordinary - the menu is outstanding. I've tried the Duck, the Lamb, the Lobster Bisqe, and the Calamari. It was all excellent. The service is extremely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The waitress didn't mind playing with my VERY messy 18 month old nephew - how much nicer can they be? The same meal anywhere else (as if you could find it) would cost at least 20 percent more. Oh, they even have parking! Fantastic!
Neighborhood Fave – I'm not sure why more people don't know about Temple Bar. I come here all the time. The food is delicious (try the steaks) and way underpriced. It's the type of stuff you can eat every night & it's still good, and the waitresses and bartenders are great (and cute). The desserts are definately the best in the area, no kidding. They're also the only decent late night menu in this part of Cambridge. Check it out!
Nice latenight – Went to this place for the first time. Some friends told me it was a great latenight joint and they were right. My girlfriend and I sat down and right away our waitress was there with this awesome martini list. We both had a few and loved em all. The Espresso Martini was my favorite. We also shared the Chocolate Fondue which came with all this great fruit for dipping. Really enjoyed myself. I'll definitely be back to try dinner. This place was a perfect ending to our evening.
Great place to celebrate – Went in for dinner to celebrate a close friend's birthday the other night - great atmosphere, friendly service. dinner was excellent. at the end of the meal the waitress sent over a creme brulee on the house with 'happy birthday amy' written in chocolate for my friend- she was thrilled! this is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.
