We were visiting from out of town at a sold out show. It was a cool small venue that's easy to get to via the Green Line. I had a great time, the staff was nice, and I saw security bobbing their heads to the music even though they had "NO CROWDSURFING/NO MOSHING" signs, although everyone including the band was doing it. My only concern was how incredibly packed it was. Maybe it's The Station Night Club video footage forever burnt into my mind, but I stayed close to the exit the whole time.

went for the first time a few weeks ago, had a blast. (I saw max mcnoun there) the whole place had a very casual feel, sorta bar in your hometown thing going on, in a really great way. it was easy to enjoy the show no matter where we were standing, it didn't take more than a couple minutes to get a drink even though the place was pretty packed, and the staff were all friendly. I am looking forward to going back.

Great place for a concert of local bands. Drinks very pricy but it's Boston. Parking can suck unless u know where there are lots

Paradise Rock Club is hands down one of my favorite venues in Boston! I’ve been to SO many shows here over the years, and every single time has been incredible. The staff is always amazing—friendly, organized, and they really know how to keep the energy going. What I love most about this place is how they host smaller artists, giving you a more intimate experience while still feeling the buzz of a live show. The sound is always great, and I’ve never had a bad time here. It’s truly a gem for live music lovers!

This venue was wicked cool. Its a small venue but perfect for shows, got a cool balcony area which a couple bars and even a place to get food inside and they have a bag/coat check area so you dont have to carry your coat or bag for the entire show which is really nice, not enough places have coat checks.

I'm vibing with this cool little music venue! They consistently host great artists, and the intimate setting makes every show feel special. The staff is super nice and friendly, always making you feel welcome. They offer a coat check, which is convenient, though it comes with a small fee that must be paid in cash, so make sure to have a few bucks on hand. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy live music with a great vibe. Highly recommend! Looking forward to see more artist here! Check out how close I was to the stage to see Joywave.

Bag check but the size of the bag doesn’t matter. Security got us seats for ADA reasons no questions asked. Strong air conditioning and cheap Shirley temples. They’ve got self serve water. The opener and headliner were on time. Don’t know what to expect from the concert but I loved the opener Travispercy! Definitely going to look him up on IG.
The club staff were very kind, and the place was a great venue. My one big complaint is the floor. It has a weird texture and the mats on it are in dire need of replacing. It also has weird bumps and grooves in it that really hurt to stand on for the duration of the concert. Other than that, however, the place was wonderful.
The lighting was impressive, sounds quality was pretty darn decent, and I really enjoyed the intimacy of the venue.

This is the iconic paradise rock club. What can be said that isn't already written about this gem in Packards corner? The floors are a little bit sticky and have odd bows and slopes. It's fairly small and smells like an armpit on hot days. So basically one of the best venues in Boston. I've been coming here for 20+ years and hope to come here for another 20+ before I'm done. I've probably been here more than any other music venue. And I love it.

Below are photos of inside the venue for my folks with anxiety about new places. These are taken from the left side of the stage.There is a small bar on either side of the venue. Merch is also set up on either side.There’s a balcony that goes around 3/4th of the venue. A lot of photos I see make the venue look larger than it is.Soundstage is set up in the balcony facing the middle of the stage.This is a pretty intimate venue. I’d say a little larger than House of Blues, especially because of the balcony.I think the quality of the live music comes down to whoever is sound mixing. Thankfully, even being near the barricade, the music wasn’t unbearably loud and sound quality was the best I’ve heard at a concert so far. The only way you’re not getting a good closeup view of the performs is if you’re stuck behind one of the pillars.

Regardless if crowdsurfing is allowed or not they should at least be protected from falling on the ground from the crowd and that’s what I did. But this venue is absolutely racist. As a person of color who tried to help someone from falling I was pushed aside and reported from some white kid and kicked out from the venue. They don’t care about the safety about anyone and only those who complain. Bands should avoid this venue at any cost unless they actually pay attention to the people they host. Security and everyone else that work are just as equally racist.

Most abusive security I have ever seen. I paid for two VIP tickets, so I was correct in having my son and his friend come in earlier than 7. I never received an itinerary with the VIP package in the first place and the chat was useless. Being screamed by the security guard from the get-go was completely uncalled for. His behavior marks him as a complete animal. As I'm the hundredth person on here to comment about the horrible security, ADDRESS this before you lose even more customers. I will never go near this place again.
