If you're lucky enough to be here you are at, hands down, the best concert venue in Boston. And you're probably seeing an awesome act, they bring in all the best shows here!

It's fairly conveniently located on the silver line, with ample parking for…More »

Cambridge, MA 02138

Category: Music Venues

Neighbourhood: Harvard Square

5.0 star rating
  2/25/2011

One of the biggest reasons that I love this city is the music scene. There are a ton of live music venues that support local indie, rock and pop music; but when it comes to local folk and singer-songwriter there is nothing that even compares to…More »

  2/1/2011 First to Review

I am about to let you all in on one of my most cherished secrets.

For those of us who love, truly love, live music there is not a place within driving distance that we won't go to see a favorite band or artist. That is how I first discovered the…More »

Yelp friends;

Are you paying attention? I understand that it's a little confusing, but there are two different Rosebuds, and even though they are in practically the same location and owned by the same people, there is one key difference. One is a…More »

 5. The Plough & Stars

912 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 576-0032

Categories: Music Venues, American (Traditional), Irish

Neighbourhood: Central Square

4.0 star rating
  4/10/2011

The Plough & Stars is in my frequent rotation as a place I come to see live music. I prefer it to several other bars in the area that stake a claim on the bustling Cambridge music scene, both for its size and atmosphere. Small enough to still be…More »

 6. House of Blues

15 Lansdowne St
Boston, MA 02215
(888) 693-2583

Categories: Venues & Event Spaces, Jazz & Blues

Neighbourhood: Fenway

3.0 star rating
  8/16/2011

I promised myself that I wouldn't get all off on a tangential rant about how much I miss the original Boston House of Blues, which was really in Cambridge, and is now Tommy Doyle's, and of which there is a good likelihood that you are too young to…More »

 7. Wilbur Theatre

246 Tremont St
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 248-9700

Category: Performing Arts

3.0 star rating
  2/5/2011

So many single stars puzzle me.

I was here Thursday evening for concert. My ticket was for general admission center floor.  I generally don't buy food or drink at concerts that aren't specifically in night clubs or bars; because it's ALWAYS expensive.…More »

 8. The Burren

247 Elm St
Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 776-6896

Categories: Irish, American (Traditional), Pubs

Neighbourhood: Davis Square

3.0 star rating
  1/1/2011

I used to love the Burren. So very much. But right now we're in a fight, and I haven't quite figured out if it's the kind of fight that will lead to permanent separation, or if we'll eventually kiss and make-up.

The main reason that my friends and I…More »

(617) 776-2004

Categories: Bars, Breakfast & Brunch, Music Venues

Neighbourhood: Davis Square

2.0 star rating
  2/25/2011

Over-hyped Jazz brunch - I once spend two hours here and heard live music for maybe 15 minutes. Underwhelming menu. Ho-hum food. Slight grimy film coating just about everything. Worst run Stump trivia night (and that's saying something!) in the area…More »

 10. Comcast Center

885 S Main St
Mansfield, MA 02048
(508) 339-2333
1.0 star rating

No. No, no. No, no, no. NO!

As in:  There is NO band that I want to see badly enough to go here ever again.

As in: There is no way I will ever call this place anything other than Great Woods.

Porta-potty nightmares. Parking lot, er, parking field hell!…More »

Recently updated lists from Lu B.

My ROTD's (4)

The first time was clearly an accident.
The second time had to be pure coincidence.
By the third time, I've finally caught on. People really do like my reviews. Some of you even like me too! Sending love right back atcha!

Taking it underground! (8)

When you just feel like burrowing in; these are the places you can literally (sorry Damien!) go underground to grab some food and drinks to sustain you through hibernation!

Celiacs in the City (4)

Okay, so I'm not actually a Celiac, but one of my BFF's is. So this one list is based on the combined experience of two.

FREE Summer in the City (4)

Summer is time for weddings, and vacations and all kinds of other thing that deplete your pocketbook. So when you're not off doing those things, enjoy the time you have here in your home city. For free. Here's where.
