Description:
THEATRE DISTRICT. If you're in the mood to move, this is the place to be. Friday night techno music provides a continuous beat and an energetic atmosphere, and seven bars and a balcony allow dancers to catch their breath. Reggae and swing nights number among the weekly theme nights, and the place even presents magic shows on occasion. More than just a bump-n-grind joint, though, the Roxy is also a well-respected live music venue ... one that has hosted everything from rappers to alternative rockers. T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes are not allowed, so make sure you're dressed in smart casual attire or trendy attire. |

Description:
BACK BAY. Wally's – a great if somewhat dark jazz club – has been a favorite hangout in the Back Bay area since 1947. Live jazz performers warm up around 9pm each night, and both known acts and student talents perform regularly. The price is right too, since there's no cover charge, and beer prices seem as if they haven't increased a lot since Wally's inception. Decor is quite basic, but that's as it should be – musicians demand all the attention. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Once a '50s-style martini bar, Good Life has been reincarnated as a sleek, European vodka lounge bent on attracting a young, sophisticated brand of clientele. All signs indicate the place has hit its mark on a formula that includes more than 130 brands of vodka, live music, DJs, iPOD parties, and revolving art collections that promote local work. If you're looking to dine, the kitchen's bistro-inspired fare includes such well conceived numbers as butternut squash ravioli and roasted Atlantic salmon. |

Description:
LEATHER DISTRICT. An after-work favorite of the jet set, Les Zygomates (pronounced lay zee-go-mott) is a French bistro whose wine list changes on a weekly basis. Live jazz music plays in the background as patrons unwind and sip their favorite wine or cocktail. The menu's country French cooking is a rustic, wonderful treat, and red bench-style booths, linen-covered tables, and exposed brick walls make for a comfortable interior. |

Description:
FENWAY DISTRICT. Bill's offers live music that's in the rock and funk genre. The interior is a veritable shrine to rock legends of the past. You'll find pictures of Jimmy Hendrix, John Lennon, and Janis Joplin adorning the walls. In fact, the bathrooms are quite a conversation piece here: the men's room is dedicated to the King and features pictures and memorabilia; meanwhile, the ladies room is a shrine to Marilyn Monroe. Most nights have a theme, ranging from rock night to reggae. It gets quite loud for such a small space, so be prepared to avoid conversation with your neighbor while the bands are doing their thing. |

Description:
FINANCIAL DISTRICT. Twenty-somethings who work in the Financial District gather at this upbeat bar and grill to close out the week in true style. Neon lights bathe the space in cool, sexy tints of blue; all the while the young, good looking clientele poses and preens at the bar, trying to capture the gaze of the bartenders ... and each other. Thursdays and Saturdays feature DJs who spin Top 40 and hip-hop; Fridays pit great drink specials with some of Beantown's top cover bands. And if the need to feed arises, the kitchen serves up delish bites like fried calamari and popcorn shrimp until 9pm. |

Description:
CAMBRIDGE. "Eclectic" barely scratches the surface when attempting to describe this live music venue's week-to-week lineup of bands, which can include everything from bare-boned rock-n-roll and alternative bands to punk and rap acts. Indeed, the club is versatile to say the least. Aside from offering live music in three distinct settings (Upstairs, the Corner and Downstairs), the club also sports a bit of avant-garde edge by affording local artists space to display their work. In addition, the three performance rooms share space with stylish ZuZu!, a restaurant that serves incredible Middle Eastern cuisine. |
