The Plough and Stars
About
The Plough and Stars is an Irish pub and restaurant in Cambridge’s Central Square that has been a neighborhood staple since 1969. It serves brunch, lunch and dinner from a menu mixing traditional pub dishes with more inventive plates, along with a wide selection of beers on tap and a full bar. Its warm, cozy room has long drawn both locals and visitors, and live music is a central part of its identity.
Bands play on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and late on Monday through Saturday nights. In good weather, guests can eat and drink on the newer outdoor patio right along Massachusetts Avenue. Over more than 50 years, The Plough has become a staple of the Cambridge community and calls itself a local landmark, and it has been spotlighted by both The Daily Beast and Boston Magazine.
