Part swing scene, part coffee house, this basement club is fun and cool. Red lights and couches afford club-goers an intimate setting for the jazz, blues and lounge acts that take the stage. In addition to the live acts, there is a poetry slam on Sunday nights and improv jazz on Monday. If you are hungry, the Cambridge Common restaurant and bar is upstairs.

tripadvisorAn intimate concert venue with friendly staff and great food. I have two criticisms. 1. Parking. The Lizard Lounge website mentions free parking in the back: there is indeed a parking lot, but it's very small. Don't assume that you'll be able to find a spot in it. 2. Drinks. The cocktails are either straight-up but tiny or large and loaded with ice. Either way, you don't get much bang for your buck. Maybe it varies according to the bartender, but my friend and I were disappointed with our blood orange martini (no ice but minuscule) and mai tai (large glass but 3/4 ice). They tasted great but were simply too meager to warrant the price. Stick with beer (they offer an ample selection).
MoreGeneral Manager is extremely rude to foreignors. She clearly has never left the country has no customer service skills & allowed a situation to escalate and completely ruined our night (has customer service gone to India?) this individual’s mentality is everything thats wrong with American society. My foreign fiance’ visited from Croatia and wasn’t allowed in (he is 31 and has a full grown beard with WHITE HAIRS). This GM was playing the loyalty card & not interested in allowing human emotions come in. Its whatever robots will take this job anyway and do a much better job.... backstory.... we came in earlier for dinner and had a pitcher of their lemonade, vodka, sam adams drink (for two people). We were pretty drunk, the food was okay but the price was reasonable. We paid to go downstairs for the concert and then got carded...... everyone gets carded.... 80 year olds— you are not exempt...if you are foreign bring a passport....but honestly—go somewhere else
MoreI love the Lizard. They put on great shows, have delicious food and drinks, a friendly staff...what more can you ask for in a local, live music venue. Keep up the great work, Lizard Lounge!
MoreSupportive environment for the singer song writer's and the opportunity for comedian's to test out new material. Plus, you just may a new upcoming artist or hear a legend: Jimmy Tingle you are as funny and entertaining today as when I heard you years ago at the Somervile theatre.Be well and stay curious,Lipstick Warriors
MoreThe Lizard Lounge is a great local music venue--small, intimate, good sound and beer, drinks and food.Some of the best local bands play here so worth checking out the schedule.
