Top 15 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Cambridge

Jessica Bonnar

The Abbey is the perfect place to grab drinks with friends at midnight, enjoy a tomato bisque with parents at 5pm, and get married!! lol yes I did get married here a month ago, and prior to that event, my partner and I have been proud patrons for the last 3.5 years. An excellent $12 cocktail menu, delicious cod and steak frites, and a warm, classy but casual atmosphere. Servers are consistently great. They also have an entirely separate gluten-free menu that my gluten-free friends are super happy with. We also reserved their downstairs for our 30-person wedding! Dean, the manager, was super enjoyable to work with to plan the event, and Rachel and Matt were our bartenders and servers day-of and really made everything so easy. Thank you guys! If you’re looking for a wedding space that’s inviting, classy, and casual, and you don’t mind getting married in front of an exit sign (we did not mind lol), I strongly recommend. We genuinely feel that the evening was pretty perfect, and our friends are still raving about the tomato bisque and grilled cheese. I could also imagine their downstairs being a great space for any relatively intimate event you’d like to host! If you’re not planning to get married soon, I’d still suggest stopping by for an enjoyable meal and cleverly named cocktail. We will be soon.

A dedicated gluten free fryer, gluten free beer, this place is amazing! Theres tons of seating and the service was good, I’d go back for the gf fried chicken sandwich.

We were very pleased with our visit. Amazing service and the food was great. Much bigger portions than we were expecting, we ordered way too much! My niece is gluten free and the server marked up the menu to show exactly what was gf or could be modified to be gf. Amazing service! We had the ubiquitous kale salad, burrata that comes with sweet potato bread (gf bread also available), grilled broccoli with hummus, and roasted potatoes. Both the cocktails and cocktails were great too!

gluten free/ celiac safe options

The food was absolutely delicious and they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy without a problem. Much appreciated and the pasta dishes were seriously out of this world! We will definitely return!

We came mostly for the desserts, and they are absolutely delicious. The available ice cream flavors were really creative. We chose the pink peppercorn flavor which was fruity and fun to eat. The pistachio white chocolate cake was the favorite of the composed desserts we had, but the peaches & cream (the gluten-free but not nut-free option) dessert and (dark) chocolate tart were also amazing. If it weren't for the fact that we don't have an unlimited budget and desserts in general aren't exactly healthy in large quantities, I could make a daily meal of just the desserts.

It was my best experience at Japanese restaurant! They have many gluten free options; salmon teriyaki is very tasty, and dragon maki is best of the best. All products are very fresh. In two days we were here 4 times!!! GOD BLESS FUJI!!!

Chill place with nice food, gluten free clearly marked (quite a few options available)

Stephanie Shields

We sat at the bar - We didn't think we'd need a reservation on a Monday night! The bartender was amazingly knowledgeable and explained details on both food and drinks. I have to be gluten free so I had a salmon dish that was great. My friends had 2 different pasta dishes which they both loved.

Great atmosphere, plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options. Many fun and tasty cocktails and mocktails. Service was quick and very friendly. Two of our dishes could've used a bit more salt, which felt weird cause we never cook with much salt ourselves but it just lacked a bit of a punch. That's not a bad problem to have, although some salt and pepper shakers on the table could be nice to add.

delicious🤩 although they don’t have gluten free options for pizza

I came here with a large work group, so my experience may not be relevant to everyone. I have a gluten allergy and I asked if anything will be gluten free. First, they had preselected dishes for our table on a menu that wasn't labeled. Second, the waiters did not know what did or didn't contain gluten. Third, I couldn't eat anything that came out to the table, though they kept promising they would bring something soon. Finally they brought out some crab dish that was covered in tempura flakes and vehemently tried to convince me it's gluten free. I kept telling them it wasn't. They left, then came back and took the tray away. At that point it was pretty clear I can't trust them and I left. Very disappointed to have had to leave my conference, and that they did not care about their guests enough to prepare some food I could eat for an hour. It could be that the organizers did not flag to them that they have people with allergies coming. Not sure.

Awesome local Irish bar new to Inman Square They have a huge whiskey selection and even a gluten-free menu. Different events like trivia every night but tends to be a little quieter than other nearby bars making it a favorite for me. Cozy vibes for sure!

Great gluten free options, if you’re gf!

A slightly more diverse menu than you'd expect for a brewery, with great service and tons of indoor and outdoor space. Dogs welcome on the patio, which is a great convenience in the summer. Easy to eat gluten free here, even for a Celiac.
