    • Thank you for visiting the Historic Rosebud!

    In compliance with the City of Somerville's restrictions, masks are currently optional for all guests, as well as our staff members who are fully vaccinated.

    If you are looking to join us just for drinks, you are welcome to sit at the bar. However we will continue to ask that reservations for table service order food items as well. 

    There is a 5% Kitchen Admin Fee applied to all checks. We feel this is the most transparent & best way in lieu of raising our menu prices, to help close the gap in wage disparities between our Front of the House and Back of the House employees.

    Thank you for your support & understanding!
