Found myself at Leaky Pete's over Memorial Day weekend - love the décor! It's mainly a bar with a few high top tables. Limited menu but, oh my, the crabcake sandwich I had was the best I've ever eaten - big chunks of crabmeat. I can't wait to go back!

You can actually can hear yourself think...no bee-boppers! Staff is charming and the intimate atmosphere comes from it's triangular shape. The front wall is only as wide as the front door! Bring your own oar and add to the collection on the walls. Fantastic!!

We went past before we found it, but so glad we went back! Best crab cakes I've had in years! Great beer selection and a fun little bar. We left before the music got going, but we'll be back! Menu wasn't huge, but we still had a hard time deciding because it all sounded good. Can't wait to try more... More

We stopped in on a rainy afternoon for a few pints of Blue Moon and oysters. Both were very good. The bartenders were very friendly and the atmosphere was very laid back.

I read reviews before coming to Cambridge, it got so many good reviews I had to seek it out. I insisted after our hike in the Black Water Refuge we were going to grab lunch at this bar, Leaky Petes. We are not drinkers and I generally don't sit at bars, BUT this place was so cute and the staff... More

My husband and I stopped into Leaky Petes after we attended the Orange Crush and Buffalo Brisket festival down the street. The orange crush's were larger and less expensive than at the festival and my husband said they were tastey! We ordered BBQ Jerk roasted wings and while I prefer fried wings to roasted, these were done well. The BBQ... More

We were walking back from dining out elsewhere our first night in town and heard lots of chatter, music and other sounds of people enjoying themselves emanating from a small door between shop-fronts. It was Leaky Pete's, which we had thought from TA reviews might not suit us for a place to eat dinner. We were intrigued and, when one... More

This tiny bar packs a lot of life and goodness into a small space. Interesting beers and wines, great food that comes out of a closet sized kitchen (it's like a magic trick!), and a really warm and inviting atmosphere. It's just a great neighborhood bar and never disappoints for a before dinner drink or an entire evening of hanging... More

The raw oysters were excellent. Fish was fresh. However, the fish and chips were very greasy. We ordered cheese burget for the kids and they turned out to be too well done and dry. So you need to specify carefully. It's better alternative to fast food.

We always appreciate input on trip advisor, positive or negative. This helps us to keep the pulse of our business. However, we believe in a healthy lifestyle of cooking and we do not have a fryer in our kitchen. We do not offer "fish and chips" or "cheeseburgers" cooked to temperature. We feel that this review is a mistake and... More

I was taking a friend out for dinner, and because I had not read the reviews carefully I thought this was a formal restaurant. I made a reservation, and we arrived we found that in fact Leaky Pete's is a bar with a few high-top tables in the back. We almost left but decided to give the place a chance.... More
