Grab a seat outdoors!
by urbantemp
Shay's is a great, no-frills bar with an excellent beer selection. Has a warm, cozy feeling in its "underground" spot and a good mix of students and locals in the harvard square area...just make sure you grab a spot on the front patio as it fills up fast!!! but, it's small size and limited staff give it that charm most other local bars lack.
- Pros: Location, Patio
A low-key Harvard Square watering hole for fans of beers and vino.

The Scene
Shay's dark bar and small outdoor seating area attract an eclectic mix of graduate student-types and area professionals. The social outdoor patio gets packed to the gills most nights. With a hip, contemporary soundtrack playing at a reasonable volume, the bar is a good place to catch up with a friend over a drink.
The Draw
The expansive beer and wine lists should satisfy any and all tastes. The 16 wines by the glass change from time to time, including the usual (California chardonnay) and not so usual (Chilean cabernet). Brief, colorful descriptions are listed with the wines. With only a single bartender and waitress most nights, you might have to wait a little while to place a drink order. The food menu is a step above that of similar bars; more than burgers and nachos are available.
