As a city, Boston’s heavily influenced by Irish culture, so it makes sense that the best – and most classic – fish and chips dish in the city can be found in an Irish pub. The Druid is a popular hangout in Cambridge’s Inman Square.

It's located at 1357 Cambridge Street in Cambridge.

Even from the outside, this place brims with character, and the color scheme makes it feel Christmasy year round. The Druid is tucked inside the oldest wooden mercantile building in Cambridge.
Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and… quirky!

Portions here are massive. The fish and chips are bundled up in newspaper like a gift that you'll definitely want to unwrap.

Steam billows out from the newspaper because this dish is piping hot - there's nothing worse than tepid fish and chips, but you'll never run into that problem here!
The Druid encrusts fresh, flaky fish in an airy batter that manages to be crispy without being greasy. Rather than disguising the flavor of the fish, the batter complements it.

The fries don't disappoint either, and the tartar sauce - made in-house - really makes this dish memorable.
Pair your meal with a pint of Guinness and dig in!

You’ll probably find yourself ordering the fish and chips time and again, but if you ever want to mix things up, then the shepherd’s pie is a good choice, too.

Tuck into your meal and gear up for some entertainment. The Druid hosts trivia nights, occasionally features a DJ, and showcases Irish music on Tuesdays after 9:00 p.m. and Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
