Fodor's Expert Review Middle East & ZuZu Restaurant & Nightclub

This nightclub boasts three ever-active performance spaces and has nicely carved out its niche as one of New England's most eclectic alternative-rock venues. National and local acts vie for the large upstairs and cavernous downstairs rooms, while intimate combos play ZuZu's, Corner, and Sonia. Phenoms like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones got their start here. There are also DJs, belly dancing, folk, jazz, country-rock, and dancing. Nightly shows at 8 pm usually run $12 to $25, and most are general admission/standing only.
