Paradise Rock Club   

Rock and roll on this side of the Charles has called "the Dise" home for decades. Just about every band that has gone onto national success has performed here at one time or another (including U2, the Police, the Cranberries and many others). It has a history unmatched by any other Boston club. More than just a rock club, the Paradise is a coveted sanctuary for Boston music lovers who want to see talented local and national bands before they make it big. While the club has seen it's share of changes over the years, two separate rooms now split this club into two equally distinct experiences. For large, national acts and the occasional local bill, head into the Back Room where you and hundreds of fans can experience one of the best sound and light systems in town. Ideal sightlines from every angle in this room, topped with plush couches and its own bar upstairs, makes for an ideal live music experience. The more intimate Lounge (which was once a dance club), serves up an ideal after-work menu of cheap eats, quality brews, live music, DJs and occasional burlesque dancers in a warm and inviting setting. Paintings from local artists decorate the walls and private seating upstairs beckons to lovers and xenophobes, alike. The Paradise is here to stay as one of Boston's best live music venues. Some Boston traditions never die.
