Cantab Lounge

Small bar with live music. Apparently it gets quite busy, but on a Saturday night in July it was quite dead. The band playing was okay but the sound setup was pretty terrible. There was a chill vibe, no fee to get in. Got a couple of drinks and enjoyed the music. It was really hot inside.

Came here tonight for karaoke. I asked the bartender for Allagash and he recommended Shock Top since they didn't carry it. I gotta admit, it's pretty good... First time trying it and I like the citrus richness and the overall smooth taste. You can never underestimate the value of a bartender who knows his craft... Priceless... Thanks Chris!

Had my sister's bachelorette party at the underground and it was amazing. The space was clean with lots of lighting options and comfortable seating options and a wonderful stage/light audio set up for the performers we hired. The best part though was our bartender, Kylie! She was so nice and so helpful to us and the performers. She was really fun and made really really great drinks. If you're planning an event I cannot recommend her at the Cantab enough. She's phenomenal. While you're there, if you like fruity drinks, get her to make you a Blue Hawaiian!

As someone who was raised in Cambridge and spent a fair amount of time in my fathers bar in central square… I was so pleased with the Cantab and how they have maintained the vibes. Highly recommend 10/10

Have been going to the Cantab for a no of yrs and always have a great time. Brought my husband there last evening for a celebration for his birthday to see the Marsels, and it was fantastic!!! The new owners I met were absolutely wonderful. They were so nice wishing my husband a ‘Happy Birthday, and the band as well. Thank you so very much!! Carol McCormack

Drinks are fine, music is fine. The amount of creeps there though grabbing people without there consent is absolutely disgusting. Glad to say I'll never be back there again. I was willing to make an exception because customers are external factors but when I heard those creeps were regulars and even the bouncer knew them? HELL NO

We had a very good evening listening to good blues and soul music with young people dancing and singing around us. Missing star is for no parking availability, limited seating, self service only ordering.

My Go for jam session since 1990 ! Old friends,... New Friends and more. Sundays and Wednesdays 9pm house band starts 10pm Jam starts Always Great Time see you guys around !

Deserves more than 4 for sure. There’s an entry charge which they call cover for some reason if you come in late, but the live music is well worth 6 bucks. All cash place, but there’s an ATM inside or so I’ve been told. Come here with a bunch of friends, you’ll have a great time!

It’s like super divy and local townie bar and the atmosphere is unlike anything in Cambridge - take that as you will. Good live music. Five stars.
