Best Dive Bar

Cantab Lounge

090415_Cantab_m
When the best dive bar doubles as a go-to for indulging your inner rock star, you know you’re getting a true bargain. Central Square’s ever-colorful CANTAB LOUNGE features affordable drinks, sketchy men wandering in from Mass Ave, two floors of seedy yet oddly inviting digs, and one of the most entertaining open-mic nights around. And don’t be afraid; everybody in there’s just happy being him- or herself. Thank you, Cantab, for proving that cheap and furthest-thing-from-chic is actually cool.
