Editorial Review for Regattabar – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Just as one would expect from a club set inside the classy Charles Hotel, Regattabar's interior is cozy, comfortable, dimly lit and relaxing. It's recommended for tickets to be purchased in advance (many shows sell out, especially the big-name acts). The music schedule's emphasis is on soft sounds, which might include Brazilian jazz, blues or gospel.

Regattabar is the only venue in Boston to catch the best jazz in the world. It's right in Harvard Square and it has a lovely ambiance. I've lived in Boston for 4 years and I'm an avid lover of jazz, especially the contemporary scene. The best bands, including the Dave Holland quintet, Dave Douglas, Kenny Garrett, Mark Turner, Chris Potter, etc. all come through Regattabar every year. This is their only stop in Boston. So check their website, and don't miss the opportunity to see jazz at its finest. Unfortunately, if you like this kind of music, this is the only place to hear it
Pros: Simply the best jazz in Boston
Cons: hard to hear in the very back

The only good thing about this place is that you are pretty much guaranteed to be close to the performer. That said, the service is awful. I've never seen so many miserable rude waitresses! The drinks are weak and over-priced. Also, I orderd a $7 bowl of mixed nuts and it tasted like they took out from in front of a smoker at the bar!
Pros: small space
Cons: bad service, ugly decor, too pricey
