Row 34
A distinguished Cambridge establishment
Kendall Square's Oyster and Craft Beer Temple
Who Runs It
Row 34 comes from the Island Creek Oysters team—the same folks behind some of Boston's best seafood restaurants. They know oysters.
The Origin
Row 34 was designed to be a seafood restaurant for beer lovers, or a beer bar for seafood lovers. The combination works beautifully.
What Makes It Special
The oyster program is exceptional—fresh, well-sourced, expertly shucked. The beer list is curated by people who take craft beer seriously.
For Kendall's tech workers and MIT community, Row 34 is the upscale casual option that never disappoints.
What People Love
The oysters and the beer, obviously. But also the atmosphere—upscale without being stuffy.
What To Know
This is upscale casual with upscale prices. The quality justifies it.
Oysters $2-4 each, entrees $25-40. Happy hour offers better value.
Rating Breakdown

What Customers Say

Insider Tips
Happy hour for oyster deals. Early dinner for conversation-friendly volume.
Ask what oysters just came in—freshest options vary daily.
The non-oyster seafood menu is also excellent. The burger is surprisingly good.
Kendall T is 3 minutes away. Parking in Kendall is expensive.
