The Burren American Restaurant ·$$

This large, friendly and award-winning Irish pub is divided into a front bar and a back room. Live music is played every night, and many nights there are simultaneous performances in the two rooms. Guinness is a very popular draft, but there are plenty of imports, microbrews and other beers to choose from. The menu is basic: appetizers and salads, burgers and sandwiches, roasted meats. Irish dishes include Shepherd's Pie, Guinness Stew, Irish Breakfast (on weekends), and Roast Dinner (on Sunday evenings).

The Burren is a neighborhood institution, as well as supposedly the most romantic spot in Somerville for all the first dates and meet-cutes it's hosted. Seriously. Boston.com dubbed it the Love...
