Dee Hibbard

This venue holds only a few hundred people, but seeing your favorite alternative/indie rock groups here feels like an acoustic set in your backyard thanks to it's size. Plus, most shows are only $15.

Louis Abate

Best venue in Boston. Not a bad spot in the place. Never a wait for drinks, sound is very good - and Sunset grill is next door. Parking ... That's a different story.

BU Today

The venue has a capacity of just over 400, providing a more relaxed, intimate concert experience for fans and performers than you’ll find at some of the city ’s other live music clubs. Read more

Kristen Richard

Really nice venue! Little sound treatment, so bring your earplugs (just in case). Multiple bars , and some pool tables . $10 margarita , but it was a fairly large drink, so it was worth it!

Terence Chan

Awesome venue for watching small bands. Less than $20 a ticket. Cool vibe and intimately close to the stage! Can't beat it

Nick Holroyd

They've really stepped it up since the Harper's Ferry days. Great lighting, sound system , and vibe for a good live music show.

The Feast

Once Harper's Ferry , now owned by the same guys who run the Paradise Rock Club . Shaping up to be one of the best spots for local bands & lesser-known touring acts. Indie rock heaven. Read more

BU Today

Formerly called Harper's Ferry , this joint is a favorite of Allston locals. It features some of the best touring indie and alternative music acts. Read more

WHY? performs on Tuesday, Feb. 12. "Attend purely for the eccentricity of the experience," says Flores. WHY? blends "hip-hop with indie-rock, folk, atypical vocals, and quirky lyrics."

Janet DeFilippo

Honestly feel like when it was Harpers they booked better acts for cheap . Still a good place in a great spot to get out meet people and dance but just sayinn

We are playing a show at Brighton Music Hall on Tuesday, May 28th, with our talented friends Friendly People, The Shills and Vending Machetes

Awesome selection of draught beers ; try something by Goose Island (I suggest a 312)!

Intimate venue; great acoustics

This venue only holds about 250 people, so it always makes for a really intimate show that’s guaranteed to be special.” – Andy Grammer

Music Drives Us

This space housed Harpers Ferry for 40 years, which was the cornerstone of “Allston Rock City ” and had its last concert Halloween night in 2011.

Earplugs are a must in this tiny yet awesome venue

Piqui Berrios

Cool local spot for live bands .

Robert Johnson

full bar , great bands, excellent staff

OurStage

Once a sports bar , now one of the city 's most exciting new venues. Consider it the minor leagues of The Paradise and House of Blues

Ennis Glendon

Earplugs . Mid and high range is completely blown out here. Bass is great.

Erica Truncale

Check out the merch tables by the exit - you never know who's going to be your new fav band!

Jeff Byrnes

One of the best live music venues around.

Lennox Lin

Brighton Music Hall is a premiere live performance venue.

Chris Gauvain

The bartenders are good at servicing a crowd but can't even serve a good drink. It's got booze alright but goof luck if you get the right one.
