Cambridge Plough and Stars MORE INFORMATION Plough and Stars Location: 912 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge. Hours: Mon.-Sat., 11 a.m.-1 a.m.; Sun., noon-1 a.m. Beers on tap: 13. Food: Lunch menu of sandwiches and soups. Football: English Premier League games are on TV weekend afternoons from September through May. Literary claim to fame: In 1971 Dewitt Henry, a Harvard doctoral student, and Peter O'Malley, an Irish expatriate, launched the journal Ploughshares - after many long discussions over pints at the Plough and Stars. Get directions If you are looking for a place to drink a well-poured pint of stout and watch an English Premier League Football Match (calling it soccer will elicit a few sideways glances), the Plough and Stars is your place. This Irish pub has managed to remain distinctive in an area where nearly every bar has a Guinness sign on the wall. Walls are adorned with old music billings, soccer (er, football) signs, with a few framed pictures of bar teams thrown in. A cacophony of accents fills the air: Irish, Boston, upper crust Ivy League. Small but comfortable, the bar is an unlikely venue for the the original rock and rockabilly bands it hosts three or four days a week. Set up at the back of the bar, band members often have to shuffle to allow patrons to get the restroom.
