Scanning from side to side, as our GPS prematurely announces our arrival at Harvard & Stone, we spot an unassuming grey building with an illuminated wooden sign. Not having been to Harvard & Stone before, I knew based on my previous experience with The Houston Bros.’ lush Pour Vous and moody Piano Bar, that a seemingly simple exterior would probably give way to a intricately crafted interior. I was not disappointed.

As soon as I passed through the door, I was immediately reminded of the Boiler Room décor in Disney’s The Twilight Zone “Tower of Terror”, an example of cultivated antiquity: whiskey stained walls peeling away to ruddy brick, rusted and oxidized iron fixtures, tobacco tinged tufted leather and worn wood benches, liquor bottles illuminated by Edison bulbs caged in wire. Each element complementary, creating a space that oozes strong masculinity, yet remains approachable and familiar.
