Glad we stumbled upon this spot while looking for live music in Boston on a Sunday. Down an…read moreunassuming alley in Somerville, The Jungle opens up into a cavernous black-painted space with a stage at the end. It's full of funky art pieces and a random assortment of tables. There's a small bar at one end serving beer, cocktails and food. While we were there the line up was a couple local indie bands. A great place to check out the local music scene. Minus one star because there was a strange smoky oily smell which may have been coming from another business but was unpleasant.

Went here for the first time last night…read more Had a blast rocking out to Squints with my buddies. We also caught some of Sand Machine before Squints took the stage. The place was sold out. Good energy, good sound, and a good time all around. The Jungle is a really cool live band venue tucked away in Somerville with food stands and restaurants surrounding it. Super friendly staff running the place. I love that it's mainly a live band space with a nice sized bar in the back. Support live music people. Super fun night at The Jungle! Looking forward to more shows!

I used to attend shows at The Rockwell at least once a month. It was a dive-bar of a venue, but it…read morehad heart. That, unfortunately, has changed over the past several years. Attended a show there in the summer and while the show was great, the venue is in horrendous shape and they don't care. First, they claim to be ADA compliant. That's pretty much a lie. They're wheelchair accessible, *IF* they remember to open the door that leads to the elevator, and ALSO to unlock the door that leads to the venue, HOWEVER, they very often forget one or both of those, but also, they do NOT have an accessible restroom!! Saloon, down the hall, allows use of their accessible restroom, *IF* they're open, but they have cut their hours, and were not open during the aforementioned show. No warning, just no ADA-compliant restroom. This is BAD. I have emailed the venue FOUR TIMES and have been completely ignored. So here we are. A place that used to be quirky but cool, is now just a little craphole that sometimes manages to book good talent. I would definitely advise my friends who produce shows to find elsewhere. Communication is important. So is accessibility. They do NOT care. I was going to be nice and give 2 stars, but you know what? With their willingness to refuse to talk about/include accessibility, they can take their one star and shove it.

Bartenders are very nice (I asked for a ginger ale and they didn't charge me), and bar is stocked really well! The upstairs has a quieter crafting activity and open space area for those of us who can't handle the sensory overload of too much sweaty loud music and strobing lights. No coat check so everyone just slung their jackets along the wall. Location was great, with a reasonably priced parking lot right outside. I will absolutely come back for Fruitstand and try to come to some indie shows here soon!

Good spot. I like this venue a lot because even at sold out shows the place has enough room to…read morebreathe! Very important, very respectable. There are stairs going up to the door, this is a smaller venue, there are multiple bars inside. Fortunately there is a coat check for $3 per coat, we waited in line for maybe 15 minutes. The coat check is smaller than the venue capacity, and everyone floods to get a coat on the way out. I've deducted a star because that was an unorganized and flustering situation.

Rude staff and SCAM. Read the other reviews BY MUSICIANS. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND this place…read more Good beer is about all. They did not pay a group who had several out of town members and even one from out of the country and asked them to pay full price entry to the show before as well as for drinks. Also charge a ridiculous price to rent the venue after 10p on a weeknight when nobody is there. Pay to play for touring musicians - don't support this place if you care about honorability in music

The Lilypad in the heart of Inman Square Cambridge is in my opinion without doubt the best…read moreperformance space in the Boston area, with exception of course of the great larger halls like Symphony + Jordan. When it comes to the intimacy of a smaller room, nothing compares to the vibe of this great sounding + visually stunning venue, thanks to Dan Masi for the fantastic wall murals, and to the entire staff for always maintaining a welcoming + energetic atmosphere. The beer + wine selection is superb. Sure the hotel bars bring in some heavy hitters, but the Lilypad consistently features the absolute best of the phenomenal + varied artists we are blessed with in the amazing music scene of greater Boston, as well as talent from NYC + all over the country. The music programming is incredibly varied; some of the best jazz + chamber music performances I have ever enjoyed happened here. The ongoing Sunday-night Jazz Jam session is an awesome scene, always featuring great opening performances by the house-band, followed by convivial jazz jamming, open to players + listeners alike, not to be missed!

The entire upstairs space was packed wall-to-wall with unique vendors, each with their own creative flair. Some vendors had cool, personalized buttons and stickers, others had trays of handmade jewelry, others had plenty of vintage clothing (steep for vintage- but still fun to browse) and of course, crates of classic vinyl. What really stood out was the energy- every vendor was welcoming and clearly into what they were selling. It didn't feel like a typical market- this was more like a laid-back, artsy community hangout. Definitely worth checking out if they re-do it, you're in the area and into unique finds and good energy.
