Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Suzanne Vega, Jim Kweskin's Jug Band—thousands of folkies have strummed and warbled their way through Club Passim, one of America's oldest (1958) and renowned Americana and roots music clubs. The cozy brick basement has table service and a counter to buy prepared dishes—Middle Eastern veggie items are yummy. If you travel with your guitar, call about open-mic nights....

Joan Baez got her start in this "legendary" folk-music club in Harvard Square (opened in 1958 as Club 47) that still maintains its "bohemian" spirit via shows by "obscure" local artists; some find it "cramped", some find it "cozy", but there's praise for its "community vibe" and "crunchy" vegetarian menu.

History buffs, as well as those who appreciate delightful architecture, will love this retro-fabulous old-school village, comparable to Virginia's Colonial Williamsburg. Bounded by Church, Zaragoza, Jefferson, Tarragona, and Adams streets, this original part of Pensacola resembles a shady English colonial town -- albeit with Spanish street names -- complete with town green and its own Christ...

Passim has launched more careers than the mass production of acoustic guitars -- Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, and Tom Rush started out here, and this is where you'll find Arlo Guthrie and Ellis Paul when they're in town. In a basement on a Harvard Square side street, the legendary coffeehouse has nurtured new talent and showcased established musicians since 1958. Patrons who have been regulars...

Go to spot for hippies, vegans, and folkies (basically the regular population of Cambridge). Harvard Square institution has been haunted by the likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez back in the day. Now plays home to emerging folk and roots rock stars, and maybe more importantly, some seriously kick ass veggie and vegan pizza at the in house restaurant Veggie Planet. Not much to look...

Major props to my friend Molly for inviting me to catch some music here -- somehow, despite three years in Boston and many, many shows I had never heard of this venue. Club Passim is small and...

We saw the Dustbowl Revival - a westcoast group making their first national tour. Incredible experience. We reserved table 15, front right table near the stage and had the best time! The band was amazing, drawing the whole crown in. The band's newest addition, Liz Beebe was fantastic. Service from the Veggie Planet folks was very good, attentive with refills...

Wonderful music and good veggie food at a reasonable price

We saw the Redbird group of folk singers. It was the best folk I have encountered in years. Voices and guitars were great and the service was very pleasant. Bravo to Redbird and Passim.

Tips about this business (2)

When to Go

While the club holds unpaid reservations by voicemail, it only honors them until 15 minutes before each show. And be warned: Shows priced greater than $15 or groups of six or more require full payment in advance.

Know Before You Go

Unlike at rock shows, performances here are quiet, intimate affairs. Keep the chatter to a minimum to avoid the rude stares of other patrons.
