Never been to the venue before but it had great acoustics. I wasn't a fan of the warm up artist, they were okay but they got the volume mixing wrong you couldn't hear any of the instruments the guy played. Essenger though was perfect. He played all his hits and he sounded just as good or better than he does online. He hit every note, every chord, it was a flawless show. The crowd was small but great, you knew you were among fans. Definitely see him again.

I've seen Pig 3 times and this was the best tour yet. Watts was firing on all cylinders, full of energy, Steve White did a great job on guitars and it was great to see En Esch. Packed house. Hope they come back soon!

Fantastic show! Robin was the middle act, between Tiger Bomb and headliners The Nervous Eaters. She was just as great as the last time I saw her in 1981 (43+ years ago) when she performed at MIT. It's a small, intimate venue. It's mostly standing, though they accommodated my old creaky knees with a folding chair. I highly recommend The Middle East as a venue, and Robin Lane as a performer.

About The Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub

There areThe Middle East is an entertainment complex consisting of five adjacent dining and live music venues in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Its three dedicated concert spaces, Upstairs, Downstairs, and Sonia, sit alongside ZuZu and The Corner, two restaurants that also host live music. Having featured a huge variety of musicians since 1987, the establishment was described in 2007 as "the nexus of metro Boston's rock-club scene for local and touring bands" by the Boston Phoenix.
The establishment was founded as a Lebanese restaurant which was purchased by the Sater family in the 1970s. Incentivized by a local music promoter's birthday party, The Middle East began to book more local rock groups starting in 1987. It gradually expanded into a full-fledged entertainment complex as the owners purchased nearby properties and incorporated them into The Middle East brand, most recently turning T.T. the Bear's Place into The Middle East's Sonia in 2017.
There are 5 rooms in this complex:
Corner (61 capacity)
Zuzu (110 capacity)
Upstairs (194 capacity)
Sonia (350 capacity)
Downstairs (575 capacity)
