Russell Tavern In the heart of Harvard Square, the independent outdoor courtyard is also the entrance. The tavern faces the street and the restaurant is on the more hidden negative floor. There are many choices for red wine in the United States, and there are plenty of beer & cocktail lists. The tavern's menu is relatively streamlined but the quality of the dishes is not sloppy, and the ingredients are not sloppy. There is a Happy Meal package (wine + meal) suitable for single people.
