Editorial Review for Toad – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
This live music club hosts performances seven nights a week, drawing acts from the large pool of talented musicians living around Cambridge. There's little flat-out rock, but the singer-songwriters who play here have no qualms about bringing in their electric guitars and drums. Among those who've graduated from the Toad but still turn up on its stage and in the audience are country-rocker Dennis Brennan, songwriter Laurie Sargent, and former members of Morphine and Treat Her Right.

The Draw
Choose from Guinness or 12 microbrews on tap as you listen to the local rock, folk or blues acts. Toad shares management and adjacent space with Christopher's, a more spacious eating and drinking spot with good bar food (sweet potato fries, artichoke hearts).

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

05/15/2008 Posted by chi2

the guy serves us one round of drinks and decides for himself that we are too drunk to be served another round of drinks. Mr. bartender is "uncomfortable" serving us another round of drinks!!!!! never heard that one before in all my years of living in Boston and New York......just because we dont look like the rest of his yuppie neighborhood regulars??? His definition of drunk? - ONE DRINK!!! did we say anything to offend him??/ NO. Did we not tip him?? HELL NO...Tipped him more that his f***ing service and attitude deserved!!! People of color - DONT BOTHER!

Cons: the bartender

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Music is great , but the bartenders act like they would rather be anywhere else in the world. When you're making that much money , do you really need to act like it's a pain to serve someone? Really guys, drop the attitude.

Pros: Great Music, no cover

Cons: Bad Service
