Not necessarily the most creative name, the bar’s on Harvard Street and the exterior of the building is stone, but the interior is a mix of dungeon (not in the S&M or creepy ways), nautical, go-go dancers and hipsters. Quite a strange cocktail.

Harvard & Stone offers live music, but there isn’t a cover (score!). The band was so-so but the music the bar played when the band took breaks was much better, especially since the band played so loud it was difficult to carry on a conversation.

I ordered the delicious Frequency Fizz, a concoction of gin, lime and black currant juices, sugar and ginger ale that was worth the $11.

However, if you’re ordering at the bar, watch out for the go-go dancers who tend to appear out of nowhere, take over the bar and accidentally kick you as you’re paying for your expensive drinks. True story.
