Editorial Review for Middlesex Lounge – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Perhaps Cambridge's ultimate multi-purpose destination, the Middlesex Lounge provides MIT workers and area residents with a chic lunch spot as well as a stylish lounge. The nighttime vibe depends on who's spinning (different DJs appear nightly). Because the low seats and tables are on wheels, patrons have the option to create their own space. The welcoming food menu includes offbeat comfort fare like a plate of ten bite-size tacos or a Kobe beef burger.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Be careful when making a night out of the lounge's house drinks, like deceptively strong dark-and-stormies and aged rum punch.

This place is an absolute trash. The rudest bouncers. On a saturday night I was made to wait 45 mins in the line. And there were only 5 people who were let in before me. When I asked the bouncer why he is not letting in, he says "You dont know how this place works?" Meanwhile Another guy pulls me aside and whispers "Pay him 20 bucks and he will let you in".. I guess this dude who pulled me aside either works in this crazy place or is the Bouncers friend. After all the long wait, the bouncer did not let me in since I got into an argument with him. That was one of the worst experiences for me at a night club.

This place is a dungeon. Nothing is Chic about it. A big romper room with nothing in it. Just dark walls due to no lights DIrt floors and one bathroom. Music is good, but the atmosphere is what matters. Drinks were expensive too. Worst part is bouncers threw a kid out into the the snow out the back door. It was wrong. Bouncers manhandling anyone is wrong. .

Pros: Open till 2am and it is on the main road.

Cons: Violent bouncers, pricey drinks, terrible ambience, felt like I was in the pen or something.
