Wally's Café
Wally's Café Review
Wally's Café is a rare gem for blues and jazz fans. Founded in 1947, the club continues to play host to big names such as Branford Marsalis and Chick Corea, but it is still best known for performances by local bands. Wally's has a more diverse crowd than most other Boston clubs, and brings in both South End and Roxbury locals and lots of college students, especially students from Berklee College of Music. It's open every night of the year and there's no cover. Get here early if you want a seat.
