Rock Club · Harvard Square · 79 tips and reviews
Ronald Thompson: Great new venue for anal shows, and a small but exclusive collection of whiskies and bourbon in the main bar. I'd go back again for sure!
Boston.com: Drink a Kentucky Luau: bourbon with hints of cinnamon, pineapple, and best of all, a floral scent that will leave you craving for more. Try it on the new roof deck. Read more.

Music Venue · Harvard Square · 22 tips and reviews
Christian Rodriguez: Great small, intimate music venue. Catch some local high quality, moderately priced shows with good food to boot.
The Feast: Legendary folk joint. A slightly older crowd holds court here most nights, but also expect to see plenty of music-nerds.
Secret Boston: Coolest music vibe in town, man. 60s
Helen Huppuch: I always wind up getting Your Basic Breakfast and it never fails to be awesome. The Poached Eggs look amazing and one of these times I'll get 'em... Best brunch in the area and best Bloody Marys.
Chris Gauvain: Get an Old Fashioned! You'll feel like Don Draper, and enjoy it more than getting one anywhere else.
Joshua Green: the weekend brunch here is great, probably the best in Cambridge

emma tangoren: from the owners of the beehive in the south end, described as a "subterranean restaurant-bar-nightclub"
Jake Smith: If you're planning on eating, arrive early or plan on waiting a while for a table (or eating at the crowded bar). Try one of the ingeniously developed cocktails, like the Purple Door.
