First time at this venue and I will absolutely go back as often as I can. Sound, size, layout sight lines all as good as you will find. It's set up pretty much in a square surrounded by a balcony with no spillover to the sides. So if you have a ticket you will have excellent sound and sight lines. Two large bars, one on each floor and bathrooms on both floors. Just a really sweet set-up. When we arrived I scouted the place for a place to sit and saw a bench next to the upstairs bar and casually asked the the guy working there if that was the only place to sit. I mentioned my wife had a bad back and might be looking for a place to sit during the show. He said it was the only place and offered to get us a couple chairs. I said no she should be fine thanks and moved on. He went the extra mile, came down found us at the bar, said I talked to my boss and we set up a couple chairs for you. Turned out my wife needed that chair and without it we would have had to leave half through a great show Mo Lowda and The Humbles were busting out. We were absolutely blown away by this level of service.

Great small room. Plenty of bars and bathrooms! Most importantly plenty of free drinking water available at all the bars.

I love that this venue has some space outside to hang out. Entry is always super easy. I also love the recessed bar area to enjoy a beer during the opener. This venue never feels overcrowded or too large for the act and the sound is always great. It would be really nice to have some chairs or benches somewhere though because not everyone can or wants to stand for hours!

GREAT place to see bands! There really isn't a bad "seat" in the house. It's standing-room only, but there are balcony levels on the sides and back, so you can get as close to the performers as you want. *THREE* bars make it easy to get a refreshment quickly, and the service is great! I definitely recommend seeing a show here!

I had the best experience here. Went to see Meg Myers and the whole package was better than I expected. From the parking right across the street to the smaller intimate venue. The sound quality was superb and the viewing area was perfect. I love nothing more than to see some of my favorite acts here in this establishment. The entry was so easy and the folks were so friendly. I can't say enough good things. It was perfect.

Nice venue, good staff. View from Mezzanine and on mid level behind sound board is great. Saw NoahFinnce, Bears in Trees, and Action Adventure. First club show for my 13 year old. It was a good time. There were some good craft beers arlt the bar which was nice since more than half the crowd was underage.

The Sinclair is a concert venue and restaurant located in the heart of Cambridge, MA. The venue offers a unique atmosphere, with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a vintage aesthetic. The concert hall is spacious and well-designed, with excellent acoustics and a great view from any seat. The restaurant offers a menu with a wide variety of delicious items, such as small plates, sandwiches, and entrees.

The venue offers a wide variety of live music, from local and up-and-coming acts to well-known national touring acts. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the security is tight but not overbearing. The bar service is efficient and reasonably priced.

One of the standout features of the Sinclair is the venue's commitment to sustainability, recycling and using eco-friendly products.

One downside to the venue is that it can get quite crowded during peak concert hours, which can make it difficult to navigate the space. Additionally, the parking can be challenging, especially on busy nights.

Overall, The Sinclair is a great option for anyone looking for a unique and exciting concert experience in Cambridge. I would recommend arriving early to secure parking and avoid the crowds.

Enjoy a meal at the restaurant before the show and take advantage of their concert-dinner packages.
