Cambridge
McCarthy's & Toad, located at 1920 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge's Porter Square, is a vibrant Irish pub and live music venue that opened in April 2025. The spacious interior features a dark bar on one side and family-style seating in the center, with bright red walls adorned with pictures and tchotchkes above the bar. The menu offers traditional Irish fare alongside plant-based options, including dishes like shepherd's pie, fish and chips, and vegan tacos. Live traditional Irish music sessions are held every night at 7 p.m., and the adjacent Toad venue hosts a diverse lineup of live bands throughout the week, from soulful gypsy jazz to high-energy student covers and irresistible Friday dance nights.
