John Harvard’s Brew House in Harvard Square (Cambridge, Mass.) may seem like an inviting spot for some brews and pub grub when you’re out and about during an excursion in the city. However, trust me when I say Do Not Enter. I met up with a friend at John Harvard’s last week for some nachos and microbrews before a concert, and was pleased with the several seasonal beers I gulped down, as well as the nachos I consumed, loaded with cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, black olives, guac, salsa, scallions and sour cream. After inhaling half the nachos, I sat back, contemplating if I should order another beer, and looked down to find a mouse scurrying across the bar floor. Holding back an ear piercing shriek, I pointed out the rodent to my friend, and we both watched it scurry back behind the bar. Upon telling our waiter, he shrugged (as if this happens every day), and had the manager come over; who also wasn’t very apologetic. The manager promised us a discount on our check, but only took off $9.50; barely the cost of two beers. Needless to say, we will never go back.
