Editorial Review for Harpers Ferry – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Most people know and love Harpers Ferry for the annual Blues Festival that brings in the likes of Bo Diddley, Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson, Matt "Guitar" Murphy and Monster Mike Welch. Or they live for the local Battle of the Bands, as well they should. But Harpers is more than that. It offers good cheap beer, pool tables (for those Tuesday night nine-ball tourneys), dart boards, video games, foosball and generous space both around the huge bar and down the sides of the exposed brick walls.
The Draw
Count on quality sound, and plenty of it. It's loud, it's clear, it's live seven nights a week (generally starting around 9:30pm) and it's usually packed. The cover varies wildly: Pay $2 or $3 to check out the local, college-oriented bands, $15 when the BluesFest hits in February.

Insider Tips
ParkingOn-street or in the city lot off Harvard Ave. behind Blanchard's; but don't park in the Dunkin' Donuts lot across the street, you will be towed.

I attended a pink floyd cover band in the flesh and the music was awesome. Drinks are affordable and the place is more for the music than for the drinks and food.
Pros: Great Live Music
Cons: No comfy seating

Harpers is an aweosme place that has been a stable of the BU Area for over 20 years. Great atmosphere and not looking to rip off anyone. Sublime and dead cover bands were awesome.
