Fodor's Expert Review The Longfellow Bar

Named after famed architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow (nephew of poet Henry), this neighborhood bar and restaurant is located in the historic Café Algiers space directly above chef/owner Michael Scelfo's Alden & Harlow, a subterranean haunt adjacent to The Brattle Theatre. Bartenders pour creative cocktails, local craft brews, and a fluid list of edgy boutique wines by the bottle. The menu features bar food intended to be passed and shared.
