Kirkland Tap & Trotter has received Resort and Travel Magazine's prestigious 5 Star Award.

​

Can a restaurant have terroir too? Who’s to say? But any visitor to Kirkland Tap & Trotter will take a quick look around the room — with its exposed brick walls and old ceiling beams — and quickly realize that this location has some stories to tell.

 

For 37 years, 425 Washington Street in Somerville was home to the legendary Kirkland Cafe — occasionally also known as Studley’s — a truly local bar owned by Ellie & Joe Hernon and beloved by residents in the neighborhood.
