Wusong Road
8 Sept 2024
A semi-regular haunt of mine and my favorite Tiki bar in the Boston area, though pickings are slim in New England, generally. Wusong has both fantastic cocktails and a phenomenal food menu, which are a duo that's guaranteed to bring me back quickly. Their atmosphere leans a bit more into the "Neo-tiki" variety of interior design, though there still are heftier, more flavorful aesthetics from decades past all throughout. If you're ever in Cambridge, don't miss this one! Go!
Tiki Bar
Wusong Road
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
This restaurant took over the space previously occupied by Les Sablons and has been slowly rolling open since late December 2021, starting with the upstairs tiki bar. The downstairs section, which is focusing on affordable Hong Kong deli-style rice plates to start, debuted February 1, 2022 in time to ring in the Lunar New Year.
From the Wusong Road Website:
"Hidden away in the historic 100 year old Conductors Building on the outskirts of Harvard Square. Wusong Road is named after the first Conductors building located in Wusong China. Located in the outskirts of Harvard Square, Wusong Road tells the culinary love story about classical Asian American cuisine and tropical Tiki escapism that was central to Cambridge Massachusetts. With food crafted by Chef owner Jason Doo, guest experience by owner Kaila Fong and our beverage program by Justin Crooks and Charlie 'Rocco' Napoli, we hope you will join us for an escape from the hustle and bustle of Cambridge city life.
The team behind Wusong Road (Jason Doo, Thomas Brush, Kaila Fong, and Charlie Napoli) renovated the abandoned conductors building during the COVID-19 outbreak of 2020. The conductors building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 1988.
The team behind Wusong Road with the help of architects Analogue Studio, master craftsman Thomas Morgan (Morgan Construction) and Frank Simotics (Tiki Rancher) beautifully converted the once French Restaurant interior and converted the second story into a tropical Tiki escape."
