i’ve also noticed that the coffee shops close early around here! i find it odd that a place with such a high student population doesn’t have any spots for coffee and studying in the evening! to the bar it is

Came to this subreddit literally to ask this (cafes close too early around here). I see a lot of options for during the day but what about at night? e.g. on a Wednesday or Sunday

Cambridge Common! Great beer selection, very chill, spacious bar area during off-peak hrs. I used to live across the street and miss it every day!

Thanks a ton!

Thanks!

this seems like an awesome suggestion, thank you

Yeah, the new location at CX is usually super quiet during the day

I don’t think this person is asking “which bar can I go to during peak hours to sprawl out with my books”. Very common thing to go to a bar or taproom and do some work or read.

Grendels den in the afternoon might be a good place for this.

I spend a lot of time in Seattle — got family there. Do you happen to remember what it’s called?

By Peter O'Malley and his brother. Local urban legend is the Irish Republican Army moved guns through its basement.

Not helpful in this case but I lived in Seattle for a minute and there was a bar there that did monthly reading nights. $5 drinks. Sort of surprised no place has picked that up here.

You won't need the Internet to be turned on to get keys, either. Plenty of people use 5g only nowadays.

Water has to be included in rent by law unless there's a specific meter for the apartment, low flow faucets etc. are installed, and the lease specifically calls out billing to the tenant.

For electric, gas, and water (if it’s not included, but you should check), I don’t think there are fees to establish an account. The internet provider may have fees, but you can check on their site.

I know this was to op, but I'd love to join! I usually work/read at cafes and this sounds like a neat alternative.

Your comment on r/CambridgeMA was deemed to be either uncivil or harassment. Repeated incivility and harassment will result in a ban

Corner table at plough when it’s quiet and the heaters on is cozy af

I've seen plenty of people reading or doing work/studying at Lamplighter

Most of them if you go off peak. Semolina over by Tufts is nice on a weekday afternoon. Harvest in Harvard square is nice for grownups. The Plough and Stars when they're not having music - the literary magazine Ploughshares was founded there.

Edit; oh and redemption in union square brews both coffee and beer. Good all day.

During the day, there are a lot of good options. I used to do Cantab. Cellar might be good. Scholar is a good option too. Lots of good options.

Thirsty Scholar or Plough & Stars (best if you go in the afternoon, not the evening)

I’d be down to read quietly in a bar with you, if you’d like some company. It sounds cozy and nice. I’ve had luck working at Lamplighter before?

Based solely off of the name, the Thirsty Scholar should accommodate this.
