B-Side is a retro Cambridge bar that's the embodiment of cool, from the wire-frame airplane hanging from the ceiling to the free hard-boiled eggs at the bar. Even the dark wood booths have a thoughtful yet trendy feel. Since the day it opened, the B-Side has been an instant hit, as if the formula for success was as simple as "add beer and watch grow." B-Side's crack team of bartenders is comprised of cocktail authorities and the drink list has everything from Schlitz to mixers not seen since the 19th century. Head chef Tomas Garcia (of East Coast Grill fame) creates a menu of savory blue-collar fare with mature taste. The menu changes about every two months, although thankfully some staples, like sauteed Prince Edward Island mussels and baked gouda, stay put. Come early and stay late if you want to be like the hipster regulars. Now that B-Side offers corporate catering and a Late Risers' Brunch on Sunday, it's even easier to be cool.
