The Cantab Lounge Concerts 2025

Amazing place to catch some music any night of the week you can’t really miss. 💚👏🏼🎉

Cantab is a neighborhood gem! Soulful live music, reasonably priced drink options, free coat rack in the back, friendly staff and always a fun crowd. Chicken Slacks (featured in the video here) perform most Thursday nights @ 10–highly recommend!

The positive parts of Cantab include that it’s typically less crowded than 730 Tavern, is near Central Square metro stop, available tap water, modest size, and live music. The negative parts are the entry cover even on an early weeknight, sticky floors, overly loud music, and adults who ask for tips for their dancing. The cover is not even in whole dollars; it’s $10.50.

So much fun! We visited the Cantab Lounge for the Stand-Up Comedy event on Saturday and it was such a funny evening. The Bartender was very nice the drinks delicious and the Comedy was eeally good. All workers there have been so lovley very courteous and we had overall a lovley evening and will be back! Furthermore I unfortunately lost my hat and gloves at this Lounge said evening and they found it and kept it safe until I picked it up!

Easy to get to, one block from redline. Don’t need an Uber. Cheapest drinks I’ve seen around, solid beer selection and two floors of entertainment. I’m coming back no doubt. Btw - They only have snacks but Nbd bc they let you BYOF! Lastly, staff were good people 👍
