Paradise Rock Club & Lounge

Happy they held an afternoon all ages matinee, would like to suggest booking more artists for matinees. The venue itself felt safe, employees were all attentive, professional and kind. Good sound, plenty of viewing options even if you're not front row (standing floor, balcony filled up quick). Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Nice spot to catch a show. Parking garage across the street and down the block, quick walk, plenty of spots.

Of all the live music venues in Boston, this one's my second favorite but it's still an amazing one! There are very few spots you could stand in that would give you an obstructed view. It's just all those damn tall people. Aside from that great acoustics and a great view. Parking's never an easy option with this venue, but even with that in mind, I still prefer it over a lot of the others. If I can't see people play downstairs at the middle east, this is the first runner-up. Y'all need to experience more live music if you can. Just be in the moment.

Small intimate venue. All of the seats are standing room only (as far as I could tell). There is also a balcony section which is also standing room only. It can get pretty loud so bring earplugs. There are two columns in the middle of the downstairs GA area that block the view of the stage that is annoying. They serve alcohol and there is a full bar area tucked away on the other side of the mens restroom with seating and tv screens.

This small venue offers an intimate viewing experience of your favorite performers. Most of the space is standing room only. There are some couches on the second floor, but you can't see the performers from there. There are two small bars on each floor and reasonable prices. Saw the Eels perform here and they were great!

It's a good venue and I'd recommend it, but with some reservations. We saw The Summer Set in 2023 and they were great. The lights were very well done, but there's a few pillars that can get in the way of the stage. Check in ws quick. There were some jerks that kept trying to mosh and even though they have a sign saying you'll be kicked out, security didn't do anything, which was frustrating. I'm trying to have a good time, not get elbowed in the face. I would have had a better time had those guests followed the rules.
