In Short
Perhaps Cambridge's ultimate multi-purpose destination, the Middlesex Lounge provides MIT workers and area residents with a chic lunch spot as well as a stylish lounge. The nighttime vibe depends on who's spinning (different DJs appear nightly). Because the low seats and tables are on wheels, patrons have the option to create their own space. The welcoming food menu includes offbeat comfort fare like a plate of ten bite-size tacos or a Kobe beef burger.

Depending on what night you go the middlesex can be amazing or comletely boring. there is nothing great about the bar itself except for maybe a good mojito if that's your thing. The D.Js makes it or breaks it but almost everytime I've gone the D.J. has been fantastic. Pretty Boy Jones plays there about once a month. It's like every song that comes on you think, this is my favorite song..and then he mixes it with another completely different one of equal merit and you got yourself a good time. DJ Kon is also noteworthy and tends to play a lot more hip hop and early 90's pop songs. Overall I'd definitely recommend it, just know who's going to be there before you go.

Too bad this place went out of business. Loved the atmosphere, burgs were awesome but now it's out of biz which is really a shame.

To be fair, I only went once and it was awhile ago. Food was OK, drinks were OK, but service was unpleasant. The place was almost empty with staff standing around, but it wasn't easy to get service. The vibe was we're too busy being cool to notice our customers.

What to Drink:
Be careful when making a night out of the lounge's house drinks, like deceptively strong dark-and-stormies and aged rum punch.
