Wally's Cafe
(Nightlife - Live Music)
427 Massachusetts Ave, Boston  02118 • 617-424-1408
Distance: ~0.68 mi *
        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.

Bill's Bar
(Nightlife - Live Music)
5 Lansdowne St, Boston  02215 • 617-421-9678
Distance: ~0.99 mi *
        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.
