River Gods (CLOSED)

The Irish owners serve a great pint of Guinness, but you won't find any shamrocks hanging on the walls here. River Gods is contemporary yet cosy, carved into a cute residential neighborhood just outside Central Square. The tiny space fills up quickly around 9pm, as the DJs, who rotate nightly, do their (incredibly varied) thing—get here early to score a table. The beer selection is good, cocktails are reasonably priced and tasty food is served every night until 10pm. All in all, this is easily one of the most unique hangouts in town.
