Award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Scelfo's Longfellow Bar at Alden & Harlow is a neighborhood bar and restaurant located in the historic Café Algiers space directly above his flagship restaurant at 40 Brattle Street in Harvard Square. The food and drinks at The Longfellow Bar continue to explore Chef Scelfo’s forward-thinking approach to experiencing a meal around his kitchen counter. The menu features bar food that is intended to be passed and shared, allowing guests the opportunity to become immersed in a relaxed and tactile approach to eating; they’re encouraged to break bread and get their hands messy. Rooted in genuine hospitality and exceptional cocktails, the bar program follows Chef Scelfo’s ethos of taking simple ingredients and transforming them, incorporating unique flavors and textures.

    Quick dinner in Harvard square before heading to airport. Really nice decor and location. Wine list was good and lots of good cocktails. Out of kale salad. Rest of the food was amazing. Deviled eggs were very unique. Only thing we didn’t care for was the chicken sandwich. Little bit too smokey.

    We always enjoy an evening at Longfellow. The brussel sprouts and crab rangoon nachos are to die for!

    Drinks are amazing. Ambience is a vibe. Would recommend an early weeknight to beat the crowd!
