The Scene
This Central Square lounge should have a sign outside: "You are about to enter the land of hipness." Of course, being so hip, it doesn't have any sign at all. To find it, look above Central Kitchen, the upscale neighborhood restaurant that opened this bar upstairs. There you'll find beautiful people on couches and leather chairs soaking up the subtly Moroccan decor and chilling to trippy, ironic electronica.
The Draw
This is the lounge Central Square has been dying for, both as an antidote to area rock clubs and as a place to go before or after livelier entertainment. Nothing is too complicated here, from the menu of small bites, to the simple drink list of wines, single malt scotches and sipping tequilas. Of course, creating that vibe is a calculated affair that any refugee from London or New York nightlife would appreciate.

This place is under new management since the middle of 2007, and things have been changing in Enormous ways. There drink menu is to die for, my favorite is the "God in small pieces" it's a pomagranite margarita and so tasty with salt. Just to name a few more the "Geisha's Whisper, Bad Babysitter, and the Quick Knockdown, I've had them all and always left feeling pretty nice. Get there early if you want to sit but don't worry because there are djs 7 nights a week getting the dance party started. It's the new hot spot if you are looking to lounge around, be romantic, or just not sitting on a bar stool. You can sit on nice comfy couches or kick back and relax on a big pillow. I like this place because the atmosphere is chill and the service is great, I have never been without a drink and thats important when hanging out at the bar.

One of the best places in Cambridge, Hands Down... The food is excellent, but the real draw is the relaxed environment and amazing DJ's. Everytime my friends and I go here, we leave happy, and buzzed! Definitelly a great place to start and finish your night out. The only drawback is finding yourself without a seat on a busy night, so come early!

The reason to come is for the cool room and lounge. The food used to be better, but it's not bad and it's reasonably priced. For pure middle eastern dining there are better places, but it's still a fun place to visit now and then.

When to Go:
Live performances, while infrequent, are not to be missed. The small space and plush furniture make it feel like you've invited the band over to your living room.
