The Burren Reviews
The Burren is hands down one of our favorite spots to play in Boston! The energy is always incredible, the crowd brings the best vibes, and the atmosphere is perfect for live music. We love hosting our showcases here and can’t wait for the next one!
Walked up with friends from the punk rock show. Was told we are not cool enough. Been here so many times, the bouncers were insanely egotistical and weird about us coming in, sober, but acted like we were too drunk.
Great music, great vibe, great experience
