Townsend's

Owners Michael and Rosaleen Tallon used to run the Kendall Cafe in Cambridge. Now they bring their own kind of hospitality to their own neighborhood. Hyde Park needed a place like this: upscale-cozy, with a stone fireplace, dark wood, well-prepared Irish pub fare, and more than 50 kinds of beer.
