Great Scott

Great little venue. Nice drinks at the standard Boston prices. Bathroom was clean, especially so considering it is a dive bar and a music venue, which was impressive and appreciated. Show was great and the space is intimate. I WL go again.

Small, intimate, fairly divey (in a good way - bathroom is tidy enough and not coated in urine). Affordable drinks, low stage, great venue for smaller gigs / club nights.

Been here a few times, good small club for a show. Something happening every night and not a bad spot to stand in the house. If you want to meet bands you'll have a chance.

Went here for a Pelican concert. The beer selection was quite decent, they had about 8 drafts and more variety in cans and bottles. The staff was very friendly and nice all around. The venue is small but it made for a perfect, intimate setting to see the bands. Sound quality was good and despite all the warnings it didn't get super super loud. I'll be very happy to go back and see more shows there.

Visited for a band one night, was impressed by the great staff here. Venue itself is a reasonable size for what it is, plenty of room to stand about with a drink in the bar area, and a reasonable amount of room near the stage. Limited seating. Drink prices are what you would expect, with the drinks on tap ranging from £7 to £8.50, not my favourite selection of tap drinks, but they're workable. Bartender was friendly. The venue regularly hosts live bands (tickets required), most of which are good, of not a bit obscure. The staff have the entry process down to a fine art, dealing with the line of people quickly and effectively. Bands have a spot near the entrance to sell their merchandise. A fight happened to break about during the music, and it was dealt with quickly and fairly. Over-all a good experience, I'd recommend this place if a band you like is playing. My only complaint about this place is the grubby toilets.

My band just played here and it was excellent. Good treatment from the staff and crew. All around, a fabulous day at an excellent pub.

First time visiting Great Scott last night. If an artist you like, or quite frankly even one about which you might not get as excited, is playing here, you are going to be up close and personal. The place is overall warmly intimate, the staff is welcoming and cordial, and the bartenders are as well (and fast). For live music, the acoustics and sound was excellent. All around a relaxed, enjoyable spot and venue with a packed performance lineup.

What a great venue! Only downside is the cash only bar. Place is nice and intimate. Was also able to keep track of a basketball game score on the tv while enjoying great live music. Odd that they have an electric hand dryer in the bathroom with a sign telling people not to use it during performances. Seems like a switch to paper towels is needed.
