This is not open to general public. You either need to know someone with an MIT badge or play at the radio station to be able to enter... But once you're in it's great! It is so cozy with an active fireplace the night I went in. Super tall ceiling and big windows. Just lovely. Cheap drinks and cash bar.

Best bar ever!!

You need to be part of the community, and have a valid ID to enter. The beer is cheap and there’s a chill college vibe - great for a relaxing afternoon!

This is MIT's on-campus bar, and you need an MIT affiliation to come in. I was here over reunion weekend on a Saturday afternoon, and it was a great vibe - very chill, variety of seating, pretty space with lots of natural lighting. Drinks are cheap, and you need to pay in cash. We enjoyed our pitcher of cider. If you're part of the MIT community, the Muddy Charles is definitely worth a visit!

It can get busy and a bit messy, and there isn't a massive amount of room, but it's a student bar in a cozy old student center.The beer is dang cheap and surprisingly good, but it's only open to MIT students and their guests. If that's you, then it's a nice place to cap off a Friday.
Cheapest beer in Boston: 2$ per cup or 8$ for a pitcher Great atmosphere and always a good place to work or chill out with friends Nice location at the Charles River Only accessible with MIT ID Closes way too early

Nice bar for MIT students to drink and socialize in. Beer and wine are cheap, cash only but no one minds this. It overlooks a beautiful lawn and the Charles River. So many things that are amazing about this pub, except for one thing... (if you've been to the bar before, you know what I'm about to write)THE MANAGER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP. Haven't met a single student who has said a single nice thing about this guy. It's as if he thrives on being rude, disrespectful and simply a j*** to everyone who comes to the Muddy Charles to unwind. In what world is it acceptable to treat your customers with such a lack of respect? I know so many students who avoid going to the Muddy simply because they don't want to encounter the manager ever again. This guy doesn't embody the values of MIT and should be let go immediately. The Muddy Charles will be far better off without him.

If you're an MIT student, this is definitely the best bar anywhere near campus. Only MIT students allowed but the atmosphere is great and the prices are even better.

Nice pub, wish it had more space and games like darts or pool tables. Had a long queue on Friday evening waited for about 15min to enter. Drinks were good.
