Somerville by Russ Bradchulis

  • Photo of Diesel Cafe Diesel Cafe 2

    Diesel is one of the coolest places to grab coffee in Davis. Populated with hipsters and fans of java and tea, it's one of the chillest places around. You may even see a local musician grabbing some joe!

    This diner is likely the oldest dining institution in Davis. It's currently in the process of getting a much-needed facelift, so we're all looking forward to the upcoming new version of what has fed Somerville residents and visitors for decades.

    If you like Tequila and Mexican food, the Painted Burro is where you need to be. SOO many tequilas, and the best Mex in Davis, this place is also tremendous for brunch!

    For both men and women, this place is the best deal in town for dry-cleaning! They also do alterations, and are wicked nice -- you only hear that phrase in Boston! Haha

    I know this is Walkscore, but for those of us with cars, Somerville Car Wash is the BEST place to get detailing done, whether a little or a lot.

    Sacco's is the best place for gathering a group to go bowling, munch on some awesome flatbread pizza, and sip some local suds. That being said, it's also a really fun date place.

  • Photo of The Burren The Burren 1

    The Burren is an awesome blend of old school and current music. Irish folk music in the front, and some of the best cover bands in Boston in the back, great beer on both ends, and definitely the most fun people in Somerville at night.

    Bloc 11 Is one of the hippest coffee shops in Union Square. The building used to be a bank, and patrons can sit in the actual vaults and play boardgames while they sip their java and tea. Definitely not to be missed. Try the London Fog!!

    Absolutely one of the best sushi places in Somerville. Prices are good, the place is spotless, and the service is awesome!

  • Photo of Redbones BBQ Redbones BBQ 2

    Don't let the modest outside appearance fool you, because this is the top place in Davis for BBQ, and one of the famous places to eat and drink, period. I love sitting at the bar, where you can spin the beer wheel and let physics choose your beer for the night. You can also sit right by the grill and watch the meat get cut right before your eyes. This place is down home, and the service is fun, pleasant, and speedy. Any trip to Davis that doesn't include Redbones is missing out.

    It's easy to pass this bastion of absolutely delicious comfort food and delectable cocktails. There's no sign out side, but you'll find it next to the Foundry. Descend the stairs to one of the sultriest places Davis has to offer, and you'll never be disappointed.
