Great ambiance, live music every night (& no cover!), amazing food. A little more $$$ for a regular hangout place but a night of cocktails and apps (tuna spring roll!!) is a great one indeed.
Awesome spot. Live jazz, great drinks, plenty of seating, cool atmosphere for a fun night out. Also, try the lamb nachos!
Cool live music, good brunch near Harvard Sq. Full bar. Good coffee.
An original dive that's not too dive-y. No stage, but an area next to the bar hosts some of the best live music you'll find. Treat Her Right (pre-Morphine) filmed a video here (I Think She Likes Me).
Nice chill place. Great live music!
Small, intimate Irish pub with good food and great live music
For a Concert Hall-- it's got some great beer...Smuttynose IPA, Rogue Dead Guy, Notch Session etc. I'll be back.
Love this venue for live music :)
Best music venue in Boston/Cambridge. Perfect size, excellent sound system.
Be sure to check out Passim any night of the week for great live music. They’ve been hosting live music, poetry and art shows 7 days a week for fifty years, so they know about quality entertainment. Read more.
Great small, intimate music venue. Catch some local high quality, moderately priced shows with good food to boot.

Great live music! During the Winter holidays, beware the tinsel!
Awesome live music!
Doesn't look like much but the live music is always great.
Beautiful interior, great for live music performances
absolutley gorgeous space, rich wood and always great performances (except of course the economics 10 lectures...but they shouldn't count)
They have an amazing patio, good food and a decent, rotating craft beer selection. Oh and good live music too.
There is a really beautiful patio out back! Come when it's nice out so you get to enjoy it. Also great live music, great beer list. All around awesome place.
Entrance fee on a Friday night, but made up for by a live band.
An intimate space filled with great live music and welcoming patrons.
Hipster spot but good small spot for free live music.

Live music venue without a glam side
Probably one of the best spots to catch live music in Cambridge/Boston. Get the fried chicken meal! So good!
MIT Logs BATLOGS Concert!
Cool student events here every now and then. The acoustics are pretty terrible for amplified performance (e.g., standup comedy).
Big events take place here, including Obama's visit to campus in 2009. Community events (with free food!) often take place at the Oval in the spring.
Lots of live bands! Great music (only if you could stand the loudness)!
Such a funky concert venue! Great place for a night out.
- hallowed live music venue
Amazing restaurant. Best place for sushi and live music. You can either get traditional sushi, or be adventurous and try their specialties. Definitely go for sleeping beauty roll.
Very vegan friendly Asian fusion restaurant, great cocktails, nice vibe, and live Jazz. Service is rather slow but food is very fresh and delicious. Definitely try the sweet potato roll.
Try the ancient fried rice! Duck and bacon a wonderful combo
With four separate venues, live music and tasty Middle Eastern food are always on tap. Read more.
That UMASS funk jazz band killed.
Small shows are amazing here. The vibe is great and the bands can be very intimate with the fans.
Go on Monday night for the Night of the Living Deadhead concert series & say hi to bartender Johnny - he's also the booker. Read more.
Awesome events and nice concerts.
People don't come here for the food. Great atmosphere later in the evening. Convenient if you're catching a concert downstairs.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
