House of Blues

Iconic venue where music feeds the soul.

About

A reviewer noted that drinks run $10, so pre-gaming is smart. House of Blues in Fenway carries the legacy of the original Harvard Square location that opened in 1992. That first spot is gone, but the concrete handprints from Blues Brothers members remain. Today's venue draws a mixed gay-straight crowd for live entertainment and cocktails.

The Fenway neighborhood placement puts you near Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts. The vibe leans casual, with a focus on music. Expect a typical concert venue layout where the bar stays busy. If you're strict about budget, one drink and a plan before you arrive is the local move.

From the community

Completely agree that the drinks are overpriced. Paying $10 for one drink is ridiculous. I'll limit myself to a single drink for the evening and make sure to pre-game if I return.
