Reviews for House of Blues Boston in Boston, MA
This was my first time for a show at the house of blues. I saw Sunny Day real estate. I had seats on the third floor balcony. No... I was on the third floor it did not seem like it took away from the show whatsoever they were still clear as day and the musicwas fantastic. The sound in that building is great. There wasn?t any weird echoes or anything off putting about it. The onlyweird thing, which that I understand why they do it, is that if you want to get merch you have to be escorted into thedownstairs. So just be conscious of that fact when you go. The other awesome thing as you can get food before the show so thatyou just go from the food to your show. Just remember to see if there is a Red Sox game playing because if there is the closestparking to you will cost you $50 or $55 depending on whether or not you can get into the parking lot the house of bluesrecommends. We were able to get into that lot so we had to park to the closest one. Read more
Our first time to the House of Blues and it did not disappoint!!! From the time we walked up to the venue, we were invited into... the VIP Room which is adjoined to the HOB. It was hot out so we were happy to go inside, get checked in, taken to the Loungewhere we cooled off and had a nice drink from the bar. We met nice people inside that were excited to see Reggae Legend, BurningSpear. The staff happily escorted us to our proper seating. I'm physically disabled so staff took me and my husband up in theelevator to our seats for the handicapped. The Venue Security was so nice to us and helped us with anything we needed. We flewin from Atlanta for this concert and it was an excellent experience. The hospitality of the staff went above and beyond to makeour night extra special. The drinks were great, restrooms were old but clean and the oviance of the HOB was the best we've had.Thank you so much for an all around fantastic night and experience. I highly recommend this place and look forward to goingthere again in the future. Read more
As a concert venue this place is awesome. Cool acts, great sound, awesome bars all the way around and easy access. Here's my... complaint. I went to Royal Blood with my wife and 20 year old daughter. They weren't drinking so the person gave them two HUGE"X"s on each hand and I got a bright yellow wristband since I decided to partake. Once inside I went to the bar to get a beerand a coke for my wife and daughter to split. After 15 minutes or so we were escorted for the door (rather embarrassingly) bysecurity who accused my wife of having an alcoholic drink and splitting her drink with my daughter. We showed her the "X"s andexplained to them it was a Pepsi, we even told her to drink it. She apologized and they escorted us (almost) back to ouroriginal location. This was a general admission show so we lost maybe a "row" due to this. They apologized but once theyrealized they were wrong they really were curt and just wanted to move on. If you think splitting of drinks is an issue then youneed to serve the non-alcoholic drinks in a different cup or something because the giant doodles on our hands aren't cutting itobviously. How about going after all the vaping instead since you have all the damn signs about it everywhere. Read more
First time here! Watched a concert and really enjoyed it ! Good vibes and good drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful! Would... come here again! Read more
Great music venue! They consistently have artists playing. There is a floor option as well as seating options (like at a concert... hall) for those who don?t like to stand all night. This is great considering at a lot of clubs trying to get seating means thatyou?d have to get a table, which is often thousands of dollars. Sound quality is great. I went to see Said the Sky and he wasamazing!! Arrived about 45min or so before the official start time and got to see the opening acts which were good as well (plusno wait time to get into the venue). Cocktails from the bar were not good at all. I doubt they put any alcohol if any. Don?tplan on buying any drinks if you come here! Read more
An eclectic venue with so much to go around. A lot of room to get up close if you want to be immersed in the sound, and enough... space if you want to be careful about the volume. It being in the heart of Fenway grants it so many pregame options for food,drink, and places to schmooze before a show. Always a great time! Read more
Awesome venue, the staff were really nice. I wouldn't want to stand on the floor for an entire concert but I was in the stadium... level seating which was nice and comfortable. For some reason it took a long time to get inside, I got in line when the doorswere supposed to open, and it took about two hours for everyone to get inside, so the concert was delayed about an hour. No wayof knowing if this was anyone's fault in particular or if something unexpected happened. They did have people checkingvaccination cards while we were in line outside, so I don't think it was that. They used a bracelet system for vacc verification(and I think alcohol purchasing but I didn't buy any alcoholic drinks so I'm not sure). In any case, the staff stayed calm andupbeat, and the fans were pretty chill waiting as well. Read more
