Best happy hour
One of the true survivors in constantly changing Harvard Square is 30-year-old Grendel's Den, a repeat
winner in this category. Every night from 5 to 7:30 p.m., you can get almost anything on the menu (the fondue
being the chief exception) for just $3 with the purchase of an alcoholic drink. The legendary salad bar is
gone, but you can still enjoy happy-hour sandwiches, pasta dishes, and Greek and Middle Eastern specialties.
Considering the dwindling number of cheap eats in the area, it's no surprise that students and starving
professionals begin lining up outside the subterranean restaurant at precisely five o'clock. So skip
lunch, cut out of work early, and get here ahead of the pack.
Grendel's Den, 89 Winthrop Street, Cambridge, (617) 491-1050.
