Food and Drink Options

Bowers House starts your day right with a fresh continental breakfast including pastries, fruit, Greek yogurt, gourmet coffee, and more—great for those who stayed out late. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re surrounded by walkable dining options in Davis Square, from casual bites to craft cocktails. Late-night cravings? Several eateries nearby stay open into the night.

Nightlife Options

While the B&B itself keeps things mellow, Davis Square is known for its indie bars and local music spots. You’ll find quirky pubs, craft beer bars, and live music venues all within walking distance. It’s the perfect balance of access and atmosphere.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a full-service hotel, so if you’re looking for 24/7 room service or a buzzing lobby scene, this might not be your style. The vibe is more relaxing retreat than party hub—but for many concert-goers, that’s a plus.
