Cantab Lounge is Awesome One of the Best places to see local bands - downstairs at Club Bohemia - the room is great and reminds me of the old school Boston clubs - the room is just big enough for a good draw

World Class dive bar Perfect place for a cheap bottle of beer- perfect dive bar experience. Catch live music almost any night, good bluegrass performances. No attitudes here, only cheap beer and good music.

Both the man with the hat and the bartenders seem to be using rudneness as a business strategy. Be prepared to pay - in cash

What can you say about the Cantab?! – It's kinda cool to walk into a bar and you think you are in 1981! Funky music by musicians who have been playing in town forever. Can get really loud, obviously, but a fun dive bar and the anti- to every new bar in Cambridge/Somerville/Boston. They keep it simple, cheap drinks, terrible bartenders kick ass music!
