Time Out says

The lounge area at this much-loved rock 'n' roll club generally features local bands, with the occasional showcase by up-and-coming major label signings. It also exhibits work by local artists, and serves pizzas, salads and sandwiches. But the larger, two-tiered back room is where the real action happens. The view-blocking support pillar just in front of the stage? Well, that's just character building. Given the caliber of bands performing, this is one of Boston's must-visit rock haunts.

What’s on

Melanie C

Melanie C is rolling through town, and if you’ve ever found yourself belting out “Spice Up Your Life” at karaoke, you already know why this is worth your night. But this isn’t a nostalgia cash-in. Melanie’s solo catalog has quietly stacked up some genuinely sharp pop, and her live shows have a knack for blending the hits you remember with the ones you’ll be humming on the way home. She’s got a reputation for skipping the tired pop star patter and just getting on with it—no costume changes, no filler, just a tight set and that unmistakable voice. The crowd is always a mix of die-hard fans and people who just want to dance, which keeps the energy honest and unpretentious. If you’re overdue for a night that’s fun without being fussy, this is the one to circle on your calendar.
