There’s no better way to take a break after the work week than a relaxing evening of refreshing drinks, great food, and interesting conversation at the Thirsty Ear’s Friday Fiesta!!! With one of the widest and most affordable selections of food and drink in town, we know it’s bound to become your new “Friday.”
The Thirsty Ear Pub now has a professional kitchen!!! The Thirsty Ear Pub and Campus Dining have put together an amazing (and, in classic Ear-fashion, affordable) pub menu for the Thirsty Ear! So forget ordering out for late night pizza again — just stop by the Ear and grab a burger and a pint! Or maybe Chili? Or perhaps Panini, or Grilled Cheese, or Garlic Shrimp, or Chicken Wings, or Apple Pie, or…. well, you get the idea. You should probably just come down and check out the menu.
For the week of September 2nd, we will be using a shortened version of our full menu, available here. It’s a real sign of things to come!
The Thirsty Ear Pub is back!!! And while you’ve been missing us, we’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on the new bar for you… and, hey, we gotta say, it’s looking great!
If you’re new to MIT or the Thirsty Ear, we hope you had a great time at our Orientation BBQ! And now that we’re open, be sure to stop on down and have a pint with us! We run a different event each night of the week, so whether your a trivia-buff, a music-lover, or a game-fanatic, we’ve got the night for you!
If you’re a long-time Thirsty Ear patron… well, need I say more? Come on down, say Hi again, and enjoy the pub!
Finally, be sure to check out our new hours and location over here.

The Thirsty Ear pub is excited to announce that the first annual Spring-tober Fest will be held on Friday, April 4th at 5-8pm. We’ve invited Sam Adams, Cambridge Brewing Company, Rapscallion, Harpoon, Magic Hat, and Rock Bottom Brewery. Each company will bring 2-3 beers, and the first 25 people get a Thirsty Ear shirt. Tasting tickets are $10 at the door. The intent of the Spring-tober Fest is to broaden your knowledge of beer, promote responsible drinking through education at the Thirsty Ear, and help to forge relationships that will last a lifetime beyond MIT.
After months of intense deliberation, we’re ready to announce the

Come to watch the game at the Thirsty Ear… We’ll have a projector and big screen set up, and free pizza thanks to the support of the Dean of Student Activities. Come one, come all (that are 21+ with ID). We open at 5p, kickoff is at 6p….
We are hosting a Beer Tasting class over IAP!
The course will invite Brewmasters from the local Boston breweries such as Harpoon, Sam Adams, Beer Works, and the Seven’s Pub to join MIT students in an educational experience discussing beer. The course will discuss the steps in the fermenting process, ingredients and expected tastes, and the production supply chain from raw ingredients to a bottled product shipped to the consumer.
See http://student.mit.edu/iap/nc12.html for details.
Summer’s done, and we’re on Fall hours.
