Editorial Review for The Joshua Tree – by Eric Grossman

In Short
With several satellite packages and plenty of large plasma TVs and high-definition screens, The Joshua Tree keeps sports fans engaged. Weekends see collegiate crowds come in to dance along to DJs. When there are no games on, patrons pass the time shooting pool or throwing darts. The 70-foot oval bar is a good spot for sampling the lengthy beer and specialty cocktail lists. Straightforward bar appetizers (fried calamari, quesadillas, potato skins), upscale sandwiches and wraps (sesame chicken salad), and more than a dozen burgers are served day and night.

User Reviews for The Joshua Tree

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Had a great time, was fun as Tonic but better as JT. Been to the JT in Somerville and NYC. If you're a beer enthusiast and go with at least one other thirsty scholar try the "table topper." Trust me, you'll enjoy it..Waitress was fun and enthusiastic, bouncer at the door was funny..

I loved the tonic, but the Joshua Tree is even better. The half price burger deal just cant be beat, and the burgers are fantastic. If you havent checked out the new menu at this place you need to get there soon, you will not be dissappointed. Still has the same great service.

Pros: Half price burgers, sports

Cons: nothing

Popular Davis Square bar looks to duplicate its success by taking over the former Tonic space in Allston.  See the full editorial review.
