bleh. I wasn't pleased with my various experiences here. If it weren't for my friends being around, I'd probably would've hated it. I wasn't a fan of the drinks, and I've had plenty to know that they weren't so great. The food is standard bar fare but really doesn't make up for it.

If your scene is college-kid and/or douchebaggy (which I've seen on various, but not all, visits there) then you'd probably fit in at this bar. Me? I don't handle myself well around it. Maybe with a different crowd of people I would've liked it. It's a shame too, since I lived so close to the bar that you'd think I'd get used to the scene, but sadly no. Other bars are the same distance away in opposite directions, and I was happy to bring my business there.

Video game night!?!?!. OMG! I've never been here before and as soon as I walked through the door I fell in love with this place! They had Rock Band 2 on the big screen at the back of the bar and a Nintendo Wii up front! My friends and I had so much fun pretending to be rock stars all night! I even got up and sang Wonderwall (I sounded horrible, but for some reason nobody noticed!)

The service was good and the food and drinks were great! The crowd was sort of mixed up with a lot of college kids but also a bunch of 30-somethings. Everyone was really cool though and we made some new friends too!

We'll definitely be back next Wednesday night to play Rock Band!

Attempted to Remove Post. I ha ve chosen to remove my post as my experience was too long ago and things could have changed. I believe that things should not be judged on past experiences.

insect in the booth i was sitting in. Gone to Joshua Tree once. I can't not write this it is so gross...Hair in my food and a big insect (for some reason the website won't let me tell which kind...but a kind you don't want) in the booth i was sitting in. Crawling right next to my head.

Manager just asked me if I wanted to move to another table. DISGUSTING!!! I will never go back there. That place is dirty!

One of Somerville's most popular bars provides Davis Square residents with a relaxed spot for a meal.. The Scene
With its numerous TVs and dozens of food and drink options, the Joshua Tree is a dependable all-purpose hangout. A mostly young, casually dressed crowd surrounds the bar to sample from its impressive beer list (more than 20 on tap, 10 by the bottle). Drink options also include designer martinis and seasonal cocktails. Young, black-clad waitresses are wont to forget a drink refill, especially when the room is packed for a big game.

The Draw
Davis Square's top sports bar transforms into a casual dance spot on weekends, when a DJ spins top-40 tunes deep into the night. When the weather allows, the front windows open onto the street, allowing for breezy people-watching opportunities. The lengthy menu runs the gamut from shareable appetizers (Cajun catfish bites, blackened chicken quesadillas) to full entrees (seafood fra diabolo, baby back ribs, sizzling fajita platters). Half-pound burgers and hickory BBQ wings prove popular at the bar.
