What players say

College dive bar vibes with pool tables, arcade games, and a heavy MIT crowd. Stopped by with a friend from MIT who lives nearby. Right next to the grad dorms, so the place was packed with students and researchers. It felt more like a post-lab hangout than a typical bar with groups huddled around the bar.

★★★★☆ Jea, May 2025

Flat Top Part 3: The Return. This was one of the best dives in town 5-10 years ago if you were living anywhere near MIT campus. They were sadly lost to COVID but have now returned to a new location on MIT campus just a few steps from the Kendall square subway.

★★★★★ Austin, Jan 2024

FTJs is a Cambridge institution and for good reason. While it is in a new location it is still an excellent place to gather. Last night we hosted a surprise going away party there. The food was perfect for the occasion and there was ample room for us to all be together.
