Rathskeller House Blend

Inspired by people who live on their own terms, this is Pavement's Rathskeller.

No local rock club had a more notorious reputation than The Rathskeller. To be young, free, and turning your finger up to authority in the 70s, 80s, and 90s was to find yourself in Kenmore Square when it was more sleazy than squeaky clean. A night at “The Rat” guaranteed loud, edgy, electrifying music and people. Known equally for the music (think Thin Lizzy, Talking Heads, and Pixies) and its wicked nasty scene, The Rat remains in infamy for a generation of Bostonians.

Rathskeller, our house blend, is a medium-light roast blend of coffees from Central/South America and Ethiopia. We use Rathskeller as our espresso blend in our shops. It is much lighter than a traditional espresso—and we like it that way! It's also delicious as drip coffee, french press, cold brew, or any other brew method. For something closer to a traditional espresso roast, try Pavement Dark.
