730 Tavern Kitchen and Patio

American Comfort with a Lively Neighborhood Vibe

Modern and welcoming, 730 Tavern Kitchen and Patio is a go-to local gem in the heart of Cambridge’s Central Square. Just a short walk from live music venues and T stops, this spot blends the energy of a sports bar with the warmth of a neighborhood hangout. With a menu full of elevated American classics, local beers on tap, and a spacious patio for good-weather dining, it's a solid choice before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Service is fast and friendly, and the kitchen stays open late enough to grab something after the encore. The atmosphere is upbeat but not overwhelming—you can still chat over a burger or craft beer without shouting.
