    This live music venue/restaurant has helped to revive Harvard Square’s nightlife scene. The space can seat 500, but has an intimate feel. Best of all, there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Read more

    Cool 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.

    Super cool vibe. Like, seriously good design. So much better than most rock clubs. Also a killer lineup of music (and beers).

    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!

    This 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!

    Boston's best music venue - intimate small club feel, easy enough to move around for drinks / bathroom (even during sold out shows)

    They 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!

    An 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.

    Nice venue with different levels so you can easily see the stage and performance. Coat check ($2) is a nice touch.

    This is my favorite venue in the Boston area. Kind of like a mini house of blues but a lot cooler.

    The Brussels Sprouts at the Sinclair are the best in Harvard Square and I've tried 'em all.

    The food here really is great but they undercook their poached eggs - ask for another minute or so and they're perfect!

    If 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+

    See a show, get a drink, chat w/the band afterwards. It's excellent

    After taking down some heavenly deviled eggs with crispy bacon bits and a trio of pastrami'd pork belly sliders, you'll want to take matters into your own hands with the Sinclair Burger. Read more

    Buy tickets from their box-office so you don't have to pay for Ticketmaster fees.
