Common Ground


Sports, beer and music
85 Harvard Avenue
Boston, MA 02134
United States
+1 617 783 2071 (Information) / +1 617 783 0001 (To-Go Orders)
Head over to this popular Allston bar for a great time with no attitude. Part-restaurant part-bar, Common Ground caters to a wide range of patrons. DJs spin British pop and reggae and local acts take to the stage. Casual dress and a relaxed demeanor are the rule here. Popular with area college students, the bar gets crowded and sloppy on weekend nights. The bar serves appetizers, burgers, sandwiches and some entrees.

Calling all music lovers and party animals to Paradise Lounge. This new and hip lounge and bar is the perfect place for a pre or post gig meal. Local talents make their debuts and regular performers enthrall audiences on most nights at the Paradise Rock Club nearby. On calmer nights when there are no gigs, this place turns into a romantic spot and is ideal for a relaxed and comfortable night out. The food is very reasonable and tasty with pizzas, finger foods and drinks to match.

The live Spanish guitar performances, held here every Thursday, set this out-of-the-way and incredibly romantic restaurant apart. Young diners enjoy diverse and inexpensive tapas, from marinated olives to a 3-ounce Filet Mignon. Entrees include Chicken, Seafood and Filet Mignon over Potato Cake and Sautéed Spinach. The Spanish food is so good that one would never guess that the owners are Irish. This establishment serves beer and wine. Check the Web site for special events like flamenco night.

Wonder Bar


Allston Jazz Bar

Boston, MA 02134
United States
+1 617 351 2665
http://www.wonderbarboston.com/
Named by some as the best pick-up spot in Boston, there is no denying that there is quite a singles scene at this bar on weekends. But even if you are not a young single on the prowl, this bar has a lot to offer. The interior is black and sleek with brick walls. Live jazz is performed every night. The eclectic menu is surprisingly affordable for such a hip hangout. Highlights include the sweet potato fries, portobello-mushroom sandwich and the baked terra cotta casseroles.
