Long before The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Harvard and Radcliffe types would put on trench coats and head to the Brattle Theatre to see Casablanca, rising to recite the Bogart and Bergman lines in unison. Then it was on to this restaurant, where the walls are painted with scenes from the film, for more of the same. The path to this local institution is still well worn, thanks to velvety, deep-flavored braised beef ribs and grilled quail with almond-honey butter. The bar still attracts a worldly graduate student crowd with its range of local beers and classic cocktails.
