Opened as a Lebanese restaurant in 1970, the Middle East spans three storefronts filled with throngs of patch-covered jackets and wallet chains who come to enjoy a provocative symbiosis of sensuous Middle-eastern cuisine (falafel sandwiches $3.75), belly-dancing (W), and cutting-edge modern American rock and punk acts. Featuring live bands every night, the Middle East is a major landmark on any tour of Boston's alternative music scene, with no less than 3 separate stages. Local and regional bands, including Harvard's own, play in the small upstairs area, while larger names grace the more spacious downstairs. The restaurant area features acoustic performances and folk music and never charges a cover, but expect to have to pick up a dinner tab. Music ranges from ska to hip-hop, but leans in favor of experimental acts testing the limits of what can be called music. Good selection of foreign and domestic beers (bottles $3.50). Cover $8-10 upstairs, $12-25 downstairs. Check the website for a full list of musical acts.

This venue is famous for its grungy feel. It's the restaurant in front of the rock club. When you can't hear any more, take a load off and grab a bite to eat.
Next to the Middle East, this small restaurant is relatively new and attracts it's own crowd. Definitely worth stopping by this offers an interesting mixture of middle eastern and mediterranean flavoured drinks. Along with a decent bar, this is a really popular local stop. This is more than at times, as also occasionally offer entertainment in the form, of music, dj's and movies projected on the wall. This is a moderate-high price range.
