Under the glow of a Cambridge landmark and in the heart of Harvard Square, Nubar restaurant and lounge is a chic neighborhood hangout, servicing local and out of town guests while emphasizing a comfortable bar and dining experience. Named after the hotel’s owner Edward Nubar Guleserian, the Guleserian family has owned and operated the hotel and restaurant for three generations, and have lived and worked in Cambridge for over 60 years.

Serving smart, seasonal and approachable neighborhood fare, Nubar’s Chef combines a modern approach applied to classic dishes.  Working with local vendors as often as possible, fishermen, farms and neighborhood bakeries that enrich the Boston and Cambridge culinary community are prominently positioned. An eclectic wine list, classic cocktails and rotating selections of local and regional craft beers are on tap at Nubar.

Nubar’s design is comfortable yet contemporary with warm metallic accents. The lounge offers a modern linear fireplace, flanked by groupings of club chairs and tables, which provide a casual area for cocktails and appetizers. In the evening hours, the honey onyx bar glows to provide a sparkling backdrop for delicious libations. A la carte dining is available in several areas from high top tables to banquettes. Our Berkeley Room and Garden Room offer private dining venues and are available for a la carte dining when not reserved.
