 Best Club For Rock
The trusty Middle East takes the crown. No surprise there: the four-venues-in-one Central Square stalwart continues to bring in the best local and national bands and present them satisfyingly loud and clear, as every good rock club should.
Best Club For Hip-Hop
The Boston hip-hop scene is definitely thriving these days: talented local MCs, DJs, and producers are constantly emerging, while national acts are ever more frequently coming to town. And all this with only a handful of hip-hop-friendly venues. As your votes show, the Middle East has stepped it up on the hip-hop tip over the past few years, hosting shows by big national names like Royce Da 5’9”, underground heroes like Murs, and loads of local faves like the Perceptionists and Slaine. |
