Tim O'LoughlinApril 27, 2011April 28th is the Friends of Boston's Homeless Benefit - great time and a great cause! Read more
This place is a total rip off. $6 PBR's? Really? That's just inappropriate. They tore down the Avalon for this disasterpiece? Just awful, hate having to come here to see a band.
Pavel LishinApril 3, 2011Don't buy mezzanine tickets unless you want to see the backs of people's heads.
Joan MatelliMarch 28, 2010The "reserved seating," for which we paid extra, is obstructed view standing balcony, Eff you, House of Blues! Never again!
If you have dinner at the restaurant or buy something from the store, you can skip the security line.
Michael SprankleSeptember 29, 2011Total agree on the over priced drinks. $10 for a drink is outrageous. I'll stick with the 1 drink the whole night and remember to pre game if I come again
the second floor mezzanine has NO VIEW unless you're standing right at the railing.
TSA has nothing on the amount of security/ticket checks we had to go through tonight. I think we were at about 10 total before we even sat down.
Tyler PetersenMarch 31, 2014Never attending House of Blues again. Incredibly poor customer service and no communication with customers.
Sascha MartinNovember 27, 2010If your on the second floor they don't let you buy tshirts till after the show. Wtf.
Kenny H.October 20, 2010I hate this HOB. It is too big no vibe at all and they have so many fucking rules. I hate corporations running clubs. Bring back a real club like the Avalon R.I.P.
Meg BarrettDecember 29, 2010If you can avoid it don't bother with upper mezz standing room tickets. It's a rip off and there isn't even real standing room! Just the wall behind the seats!! :(
JoniFebruary 21, 2014Terrible customer service. They dont tolerate anything but you standing there breathing.
Nicole KempsterNovember 4, 2011Are you a masochist? If so, feel free to go here! Otherwise it's the worst venue in Boston.
Ashley MessinaFebruary 22, 2010Not worth the money, was treated soooo rude. Kicked out twice for being 22 young looking and 100% sober. Couldn't enjoy the band. Fuck u house of blues never again. Tell friends forget it.
Go to whatever lengths possible to skip the overpriced coat check. Don't bring a backpack, they will force you to check it.
Chris RoskoNovember 12, 2010Absolute worst venue layout I've ever seen in 16 years of going to places from small to large, absolute worst, only one row of people can see

Jamie Ferguson - 8.1
"Love this venue! Right on the water, which is just gorgeous. And when you're over 40, getting a seat in the front row- as opposed to a pit- is much preferred (not that I plan on sitting!)."

"Remember that the Hatch Shell is not just about the Fourth of July ... There are many celebrations here each season to suit all tastes!"
