The establishment has been awarded Best Bar, Best Brunch in Neighborhood , and Best Restaurant in Neighborhood by Boston Magazine

Menu
The menus at Miracle of Science are posted on chalkboards around the restaurant. The food menu is prominently located and laid out in the style of the periodic table of elements.

The food options feature items which can be cooked on the grill, which is prominently located behind the bar. Burgers, quesadillas, skewers and salads comprise the majority of the menu, which has changed little since the establishment opened. Most fare is typical with the exception of the "Ronie" Burger (named after head-chef and creator) which embeds jalapeños and cayenne inside the patty.

There are only six taps, each of which rotates to a new local beer as often as twice a week. The bar has no cocktail list but is provisioned with a basic selection of liquors and spirits to accommodate common requests. Occasional cocktail specials are posted around the restaurant.

History
The establishment was opened in 1991 by business partners Chris Lutes and Matthew Curtis who subsequently opened Middlesex Lounge, a nightclub, next-door in 2004. Middlesex was later sold and Curtis was replaced by Dennis Silva, an employee of Miracle of Science. The name "Miracle of Science" is homage to Lutes' time at Brown University where he took a heavy science course load

The establishment closed for the winter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
