The Middle East Upstairs

Saw Once Upon a Time, Jocelyn and Hello Highway on the Timeless tour here; the smaller venue allowed for an intimate show and the bands all really interacted well with the crowd! I had a great time :)

One of my favorite spots for live hip hop . Small intimate setting , gansett's priced to move.

From metal and punk to pop and rock, not to mention belly dancing , band battles, and the occasional drag show, there is truly something for everyone at the Middle East. Read more

Small shows are amazing here. The vibe is great and the bands can be very intimate with the fans.

This Boston Landmark is legendary! The upstairs is a bright and intimate affair! Grab a bite before the show! TW ♥'s The Middle East Upstairs! Read more

What a fun venue!!

Great venue for great music !

Falafel sandwich is awesome. Carrot juice is heaven.

The veggie burgers are a homemade recipe. Try one!

Only if you're a hipster ...... Get a job and drink what you want!

Great band tonight. "Other Ship"

Buy a ticket and get 50% off you meal, that rocks!

Went upstairs and a local band was playing. Good crowd, enough space to dance . Not bad for a Tues. night.

It's funny how much drink business they turn away because no one wants to pay 5 bucks to see a crappy band.

20% off dinner when you show your ticket. (april 2011)

That UMASS funk jazz band killed.

Be sure to check out the Tweak Bird show on 8/20!

Don't know why this disappeared. Not the same thing as the Upstairs or Downstairs.

PBR tall boys . 3.75. Enough said.

Eric Cross! Now!

Not a fan of the presentation or service.

Get yourself a Magners STAT.

Worst acoustics EVER. Place looks like a shitshow in the dark; can't imagine it with the lights up....

Dinner before playing with Vivian Darkbloom

The mixed drinks are too small and too expensive , stick with the PBR tall boys for $3.75

Wtf they automatically charge you 18% tip if your bill is more than $30

Terrible wait staff , even worse management. Save your beer money and grab a brew somewhere else.
