Groupon has Discount Tickets for War @ The Lynn Auditorium
Stephen Z.

The Lynn Auditorium is a Mixed Bag. 3 STARS for The Auditorium & 5 Stars for the Entertainment. So 4 Stars. The Auditorium is kind of unique with its multi purpose use. First, the building serves three functions: it houses the city's principal offices, including the mayor's office, as well as the chambers of the city council & it provides concerts & theater arts. The Auditorium really needs to be Fixed Up & renovated. It's dated & it really is not what people expect when seeing concerts. They need better acoustics. If they did a makeover this could be a great place. It is an Art Deco building that has some beautiful marble walls & other striking architectural elements in the building that should be kept & really showcased. The rest needs to be updated but keeping the integrity of the Art Deco Style of the structure for today's modern world. That being said the Lynn Auditorium attracts Big Name Acts & Concerts. You can usually go to a show here for considerably cheaper price than seeing a show in Boston. They have a parking lot you pay for next door & several other paid parking lots in the vicinity. I've seen several concerts here including The Grass Roots, The Box Tops & The Association. This time out it was Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys performing the groups Greatest Hits. The opening Act was the Irish Singer Andrea Magee and her band. The Belfast singer is quite adept at playing the bodhran Irish drum while singing. They performed several original songs & covered Down to the River. When Brian Wilson took the stage it has one hit after another some 27 in total. They fluctuated lead singing between Brian, Al Jardine & his son Matt. They kicked off the evening with California Girls, I Get Around, Little Deuce Coupe, Surfer Girl, Don't Worry Baby sung by Matt Jardine, son of Al. The band also performed Do It Again, Wild Honey, Sail on Sailor, I Can Hear Music, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B with Al Jardine. The Band also sang God Only Knows, Good Vibrations, Help Me Rhonda, Barbara Ann, Surfin' USA, Fun Fin Fun & Love & Mercy. What A Fun night of Beach Boys music where the audience sang along to many of the hit tunes. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've Been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like A King On A Limited Budget!

Ready for the show!

Our show, the men who captured Pablo Escobar, was fascinating. The venue however was pretty run down with very uncomfortable seats. Cash only bar, hard to find an unlocked bathroom or toliet paper, and dirty. It was definitely a long ride from Rhode Island for what seemed to be an auditorium that needs some improvements and upkeep.

Pleasant surprise - clean roomy seating and a massive stage right in the center of town. Plenty of parking and tasty South Anerican eats.

Tiny place, absolutely delicious! I don't have one bad thing to say about the place, food, or…read morestaff. The menu doesn't look particularly amazing, standard-ish pub fare (steak tips, fish&chips, mac&cheese) but they do them EXTREMELY well. The tips were tender and flavorful, the sneaky star of the entree was the salad with feta though. I'm pretty sure the feta was marinated in whatever outstanding salad dressing they use. The havarti grilled cheese with avocado, garlic aioli and fried egg...C'mon. You have to spend the extra $2 for the bacon jam, you will not regret it. I'm sure we've all seen truffle fries right? Some bullshit frozen garbage either drowned in cheap truffle oil, or "dusted" with truffle salt. Well, they don't do that crap here, however they do garlic fries. Hand cut, with whole cloves of roasted garlic all over. Not one or two cloves, like several heads worth of glorious, slow-roasted garlic. I managed to scrounge a couple spoonfuls of the kids mac&cheese from my son, almost lost a finger in the attempt and I found out why. They put just as much effort into the kids food as the adults. If you need a break from your witchy business in Salem, definitely stop in here.

Mac and cheese was just ehhhh, but the havarti grilled cheese was a YES. The clam chowder was cold,…read moreso I'd skip. cocktails are super unique. Definitely order the sun damage! I got the mocktail version and it was so tasty. The live music they had this night started at 9 and was super funky. You can't really have conversations during it, it's very loud, so don't go there if you're trying to have deep conversations instead of vibing to some music lol. Overall I would go back for drinks and music again!

Nothing more annoying than a review that starts with "I'm from Texas/California and I know Mexican…read morefood" blah blah blah shut your trap. No one cares. But guess what? I'm from LA and also spent most of my life in NYC and I know what good Mexican food tastes like.... And guess what?! Howling Wolf might be the best Mexican food on the east coast. Sure, it's a little pricey ($19 for a burrito?! Really?) but I didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't speak to the level of service or detail that comes with that price. I did take out. I f***g hate take out but we were passing through Salem and it was cold and the gf didn't want to eat out. This is really amazing Mexican food. I got the steak tip burrito. 9.5 out of 10. Gf got quesadilla (with carne asada) and I noticed another diner said it was soggy. I disagree. But JUST order the steak tips. Next level. Absolutely loved it. Salsa - very acidic but delish. They also gave us enough for two meals. Guac, solid. Needed salt - but that's not a crime. Only criticism- no one greeted me when I came in. I worked in the food biz and I believe staff should acknowledge you exist within seconds if they aren't greeting/seating you. I waited for a bit and finally someone figured it out. But ya know what - who cares about that when the burrito is this good - best $19 ever spent. Howling wolf - congrats. You've done the impossible. You made good Mexican food in the North Shore and converted a food snob into a believer. Wolf people, I love you. I will howl at the moon and sing your praises forever. Keep doing gods work.

Seriously good food here!! Everything was delicious especially the carne asada. As a nurse the…read morespecialty drink served in "blood bags" hooked me. Really delicious and sweet-sorta like a strawberry daiquiri. This is a must eat here place if you are in Salem!
