Timm McIntoshAugust 15, 2013Cool place. Stage really high, allowing even short people in the back a view. Nice location, too, right off Harvard Square. Will definitely return if an act of interest plays.Upvoted Sep 25
Cole KennedyNovember 29, 2015Super cool vibe. Like, seriously good design. So much better than most rock clubs. Also a killer lineup of music (and beers).
Ben BearnotMarch 11, 2015They always have a few of my fave craft beers on draft, and cocktails to suit all tastes. Will have to come back to try more off the food menu!
RosiMarch 20, 2015This place is unbelievably delish! Haddock was to die for... The banana desert is out of this world! Ooh and the poutin is a must-try too!
Matthew PiresMarch 17, 2017Nice venue with different levels so you can easily see the stage and performance. Coat check ($2) is a nice touch.
Boston's best music venue - intimate small club feel, easy enough to move around for drinks / bathroom (even during sold out shows)
Ronald ThompsonJuly 3, 2015Great 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!
Best music venue in Boston/Cambridge. Perfect size, excellent sound system.
Cris Juarez BerganzaJune 30, 2013The food is really good, even their late night menu!! And the cocktails and signature drinks are really good too!! New drink: rum daiquiri!!- BU TodayJanuary 24, 2013Whether you're looking for live music or simply an intimate drink and upscale (but not pretentious) gastropub-type cuisine, this venue/restaurant is sure to be a crowd pleaser. http://bit.ly/WXaXxs
Benjamin DupontFebruary 24, 2013An intimate setting, crowded under the wrong circumstances, but still enticing. Sound is a little hollow, but once you're in you will realize why. Really cool regardless.
You can purchase tickets with no fees Tuesdays-Saturdays 12-7pm. You can also get tickets for Great Scott and Royale here too!
C BaileyJanuary 4, 2015This is my favorite venue in the Boston area. Kind of like a mini house of blues but a lot cooler.
My favorite venue in Boston! Plenty of space to see and never feels overcrowded
John RuggieroMay 4, 2013For a Concert Hall-- it's got some great beer...Smuttynose IPA, Rogue Dead Guy, Notch Session etc. I'll be back.
Helen HuppuchApril 27, 2014The Brussels Sprouts at the Sinclair are the best in Harvard Square and I've tried 'em all.
- A bit aggressive at the door on a recent 18+ night, but still my favorite Boston venue.
Best venue in the city! Plenty of standing room and tasty drinks.
Lauren KaufmanJuly 28, 2013Lobster nachos, blood orange sangria, steak tartare, and kale salad are super bomb
ViayraApril 10, 2017If you're from out of state, make sure you bring another form of ID (other than your driver's license). They won't accept it and won't let you drink alcohol, even though it says you're waaay over 21+
The food here really is great but they undercook their poached eggs - ask for another minute or so and they're perfect!
Buy tickets from their box-office so you don't have to pay for Ticketmaster fees.
Lisa BertMay 24, 2013Well thought out venue. Everywhere you stand is a good view! Great food in the kitchen too
Emily StarlightApril 8, 2014Get there early for balcony seats - same great music, much less crowding.- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Becca and her friends are really excited to check out the Sinclair! Check out her Favecast about it here-
they usually have larger bands play in an intimate setting for cheap
Ronna WorthAugust 10, 2015Very accommodating, setting up more chairs for the Kasey Chambers show! Thank you!
Rich SarchioniJune 18, 2016Fried home fries donut holes are ok, crab tastes like its from a can so not sure about the other seafood
