4.0 of 5 stars. My roommate and I went here the other day to celebrate the 185th anniversary of Maine's freedom from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was a Thursday, but they still had a band! and a cover. I...

Yelp.com Review - by Richard S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Deserves all the stars mostly because of staying power and authenticity. It closes for a while and gets a 'face lift' but ends up looking the same afterward. Gotta respect that. Music can be...

5.0 of 5 stars. Can't say enough about the new Plough & Stars, but I will. First of all, today's lunch was a special: fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy for $10 with a $4.75 Bass Ale and...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Plough & Stars has some of the best music acts around, in my humble opinion. I will always support artists that play here thus supporting P&S. That being said, I am not one for unusually small pubs,...

Yelp.com Review - by Lalin A.

5.0 of 5 stars. Great little bar. As an addict of red&black decorations, P&L is the place to be. Narrow, rectangular space with a long bar. Low-key, could be a place to go for a romantic date as it is an intimate...

Yelp.com Review - by reese w.

5.0 of 5 stars. I don't get over here often, but I do love going here. It's laidback, but I have seen a fistfight between random folks. It was taken care of really quickly by a couple big guys who headed over at the...

Yelp.com Review - by Sean E.

5.0 of 5 stars. I've just recently come to la-la-love this place. Good beer, nice setting, great music. It ain't the biggest of places so it can tend to get a bit crowded, especially on Fri and Sat nights. So grab...

4.0 of 5 stars. The Plough has now reopened, and is a great place to stop by if you're in the area. They make fantastic sandwiches - better & greasier than I would have ever imagined. I haven't yet experienced the...

Yelp.com Review - by Ty V.

5.0 of 5 stars. While The Plough is currently closed, I'm happy to report that it will be re-opening in March. So, I guess there is a God. A true Central Square institution, this place has been around for 30 years,...

Great crowd, best pints!!

This place is great! A very down to earth crowd, best pints on the continent, good music at times. The only negative is the occasional visiting group of old men from charlies' telling old drinking stories and...
