Party Earth Miracle of Science Bar & Grill Review

The Scene

Techies, nerds, and geniuses from all over Boston flock to Miracle of Science Bar & Grill, a geek-chic, open-floored venue that attracts throngs of students and staff from MIT, Tufts, and Harvard.

Cambridge / Somerville, Boston –

Techies, nerds, and geniuses from all over Boston flock to Miracle of Science Bar & Grill, a geek-chic, open-floored venue that attracts throngs of students and staff from MIT, Tufts, and Harvard.

Once the brainy patrons finish analyzing the mathematical probability of cramming their large groups onto the two benches by the expansive front windows, they settle in to share burgers and beer with the rest of the good-natured crowd.

Chalkboard-topped tables allow guests to draw doodles instead of proofs, while a much larger chalkboard above the high-top tables and lab stools announces the menu in the form of a periodic table of food and drinks.

A boxy bar and a central triangular table provide more space for the groups of chatty artists and grad students intent on unwinding after a day of study, and for the young professionals from nearby businesses who pop in for lunch and dinner.

Always bustling with a fun-loving crowd, Miracle of Science allows even the most dedicated scholar to rationalize a night off.

Tip from Jonah:

Definitely try the Ronie burger, Miracle’s signature item. It’s spicy – jalapeños, cayenne pepper, and cheddar jack cheese – so you’ll want to wash it down with a Left Hand Milk Stout.

  • Crowd

    College students, computer gurus, artists, quirky young professionals, and business types, 20s to late 30s.

  • Entertainment / Music

    Flat screen TV tuned to sports. Ambient music varies from hip-hop to indie rock. Free Wi-Fi.

  • Food / Miscellaneous

    American and Middle Eastern dishes including burgers, skewers, and hummus plates.

  • Prices

    Breakfast $1–$6.25, snacks $4–$7.25, burgers and sandwiches $8–$8.75, skewers $5.50–$12. Beer $4.75, wine $6.25, cocktails $6–$9.

  • What to Wear / Dress Code

    Casual: t-shirts and jeans, though the after-work crowd shows up in suits and work attire.

  • Hot Nights / When to Go

    Any night for a busy scene, though Thursdays and Fridays draw bigger crowds ready to start the weekend.

  • Close By

    Middlesex Lounge (315 Massachusetts Avenue) next door draws the same crowd, especially on Saturdays.

Miracle of Science Bar & Grill User Reviews

Alicia2010 Nov 21, 2012 3.0 stars The evolution of your typical science laboratory... Miracle of Science is such a fun spot. It brings me right back to freshman year biology, except I got to eat a veggie burger and people watch out the spacious windows, without getting into trouble. The food is very tasty and there is a diverse selection of drinks and beer. The science theme is well done with menu items listed as elements on the periodic table. Try to get a spot near it, if you can, it can be a little hard to read. Miracle of Science is small but this adds to the ambiance. And if you’re lucky maybe you’ll end up near a student from nearby Harvard or MIT and you’ll learn a fun factoid or two!
