Paddy's Lunch is the oldest family-owned pub in Cambridge, serving cold beer and warm friends since 1934. A neighborhood institution, it has become a home away from home for countless regulars and newcomers alike, offering a timeless atmosphere perfect for socializing over a cold beer and good conversation.
Founded by Irish immigrants, Paddy's has been passed down through generations, with the current owner, Ruth Ryan Allen, continuing the tradition of providing a welcoming space for Cantabrigians of all walks of life. Known as the best dive bar in Cambridge, Paddy's is a proud sponsor of local athletic teams and hosts events like the Paddy's 5K to support girls' sports in the community.
