We had a phenomenal night of drinks, food, and legendary musicians at The Bull Run, Shirley, MA…read more(Apr 2026)! Their huge 275-seat event space was packed at tables for 4 to 8, for the two 1-hour sets of Live Dead & Brothers Band, an Allman Brothers - Grateful Dead group of legacy musicians from those bands and families!!! An authentic rockin' performance! They opened hot, with Feelin' Alright and Truckin', and ended hot with Midnight Rider, Ramblin' Man, and Jessica, with around 14 more between. The acoustics were excellent at our table, and we also took up our share of the crowded dance area :-) Their tour continues at least through Dec 2026. Our tickets were about $50 each. Service was fast and friendly, and they let us pull up one more chair for our group of nine. You can get crafted beers and cocktails. We settled in with ice cold regional beers, which honestly are just as distinctive as fancy craft beers. We got some food to share off their "concert menu", too. An entrée-size dish of rich creamy homemade Mac & Cheese, made with tasty aged Grafton Cheddar, soft slightly-al-dente curly Cavatappi pasta tubes, not-overcooked green beans, as i recall, crisply crusted with lightly-maple breadcrumbs. Very flavorful and satisfying. A sweet fresh bright Autumn Salad of greens, pecans, and bright beets, in tart vinaigrette. And juicy "Bull Run Classic" burgers with crisp lettuce, tasty firm tomato, mildly-sharp red onion, and, for one of them, an add-on of rich cheddar, all on a cloud-like brioche bun. They do ask for $20 per person food/beverage minimum for all shows, essentially an entree or a couple beverages each. That's about what we had planned to order anyway :-) This place knocked us out with their dedication to farm-to-table ingredients, sourced from more than 25 regional farms named on the dinner menu. We've never seem such an extensive list of the actual sources. Very cool! The Bull Run has been a tavern since 1741, named after the Battle of Bull Run in 1861, (or in another version, named for a brawl in the tavern at the same time :-), and has been run by the Guercios extended-family since 1946. It was a stop on the stagecoach route and a gathering place for the Revolutionary war. We loved the original wood, structure, and décor. The fireplaces were lovely. It's a huge venue. Bull Run has live music every week, and they're open Wed-Sun, but watch their schedule because dates vary, sometimes one day that week, sometimes all four! This show was in their 275-seat room. There's at least one larger room for around 400. Theres a little parking along Rt 2A, and much more out back across the covered bridge. Dont be put off by the rustic exterior. We loved this legendary performance at a legendary restaurant!

This is a more intimate space than you might be used to (if you're seeing artists and bands perform in large venues.) Ample free parking directly outside the entrance. These performances are recorded and live-streamed: Cameras are unobtrusive and present content on several displays (also unobstrusive.) This video content includes closeups on artists (so you can clearly see fingerpicking, etc.) I should have been frequenting this venue, already! I will be back.

The only reason I don't give five stars- on the performance stage they have two screens up that run random visuals and I'm not a fan. It's distracting and not necessary.

Pembroke City Limits opened in Suncook Village recently featuring a full service bar and food by…read moreThe Sleazy Vegan. This classic old school space was renovated with updated hardwood flooring, sea green painted walls and exposed brick walls and wood walls behind the bar. The full service bar with seating and open kitchen area is on the left side section and the front window music stage and table seating is on the right side section. The bar offers 8 beers on draft, bottle/can beers, and wine. The Sleazy Vegan is selling their food truck, last parked at Tideline Public House in Durham and has moved into this permanent brick and mortar location, The Sleazy Vegan at Pembroke City Limits. At the time of this posting, they were offering their abbreviated vegan & plant based food menu including mac & sleaze, nachos, spicy Thai peanut lettuce cups, burgers, sausage hoagie with caramelized onions, hot dog, buffalo chickn' mac & cheese, chickn' burger, and Korean BBQ chickn' burger, and desserts (double choc shake, lemon cream frosty, sleazy frozen no-rita). The prices are moderate here. I stopped by Pembroke City Limits after work try out some vegan eats. I took a seat up at the bar and looked over the abbreviated menu already on the counter. I got a glass of tap ice water (they also offer bottled water) and decided on the SVFT Burger ($14 plus tax) and a side of Sleazy Mac & Cheese ($8 plus tax). My food served in disposable paper products was served in 12 minutes after ordering. The SVFT Burger is their Sleazy Vegan Food Truck Burger which was comprised of a very soft plant burger patty topped lettuce, tomato, onion & sriracha ketchup on an enriched white hamburger roll. The Sleazy Mac & Cheese had soft cavatappi pasta in a semi tangy cheese sauce (oat milk). The food was quite good for being vegan. The check was shown on a portable digital Square payment device, which came out to $23,87 with tax and before tip. There was also a local band setting up for a 6 pm live show near the front window. The Sleazy Vegan at Pembroke City Limits fills the void in the Concord area for prepared vegan and plant based foods in a fixed location. When Col's Kitchen in Concord closed, my vegan boss was really bummed out and has to travel to Green Beautiful in Manchester on the weekends during the day for prepared vegan food. My boss will be so thrilled to stop into this new place close to the office for dinner, drinks, and live music. I will be stopping by again when their menu is expanded and I can catch some live music too.

First time here. Went for Takeout at 7pm. 1 guy at the bar, 2 folks getting ready to play on stage…read more Bar tender, waitress and cook. Called in and ordered the rueben (2) and Chocolate cream pie. Got there and nobody said hello for the first 3-4 minutes which seems long. Standing by the food area facing the bar, and no one said I'll be right with you or even acknowledged I was there for another 4-5 minutes. Then the waitress looked at me and said they would be right with me. A few minutes later, bartender said "Are you Bruce?" That ended all conversation until the food was done. Now in fairness, I am a native New Yorker so I have expectations when it comes to NYC food such as a reuben. Disappointed for certain. The bread was double thick marble but could not even taste any rye, toasted so it made it very hard to bite. The meat was cut very thick and it was undercooked; so it was tough to chew. Maybe a 1/4Lb at the most. Had to look to find the swiss cheese. Sauce was good as was the amount and flavor of the sauerkraut. The pie was good. It looks llike a nice place, similar to other bars in the area, but this one has a small stage for entertainment. Will try once more as the burger was written about as much as the reuben. So, I'll let you all know when we go. Update: Just read the description - Not a real reuben as it is made with pastrami not corned beef.

She assigned my friend a seat all the way across the crowded venue. My friend asked if she could pull a chair up and sit down, and the manager told her no. In fact, one of the first things she said to my friend was, "If you're handicapped, how did you get in here?" My friend, who's in her 70s, walks with a cane and was afraid to traverse the venue in the dark, because of trip hazards. She stood on a ramp for 2 HOURS, holding onto a railing. This staff member stood 10 feet behind her. When my friend asked her for her name, she said, "I'm not going to tell you." And when my friend was leaving, this woman called after her, "Goodnight! Thanks for coming!" Little fact for you: my friend was in the music business for 30 years, and handled the biggest clients and their money when women were generally relegated to sex objects. She founded famous music venues! She put up with a lot and deserves your respect. This woman by her web image seems to be general manager. She's definitely someone who can fire people, because another staff member was afraid (!) to help my friend for fear of losing their job. Blue Ocean Music Hall, you need a new general manager. She's an ADA lawsuit waiting to happen and has no empathy, graciousness, professionalism or sense of hospitality. She behaved like a straight up bigot and has no business working with the public. Obviously, she knows this, or she would have offered her name like a professional. Do better.
