Amazing local venue and restaurant. What a hidden gem tucked away in Cambridge. I went here on a weekday night for dinner and a show and was blown away by the quality of music for such an intimate venue. This place can hold about 100 people seated for dinner and/or drinks and every seat is a great one. As a bonus, tickets are so reasonable and they offer even more specials if youre a student or member. I love that theyre a non-profit that supports artists to feature their sound. On top of all that, the dinner I had was great. I would recommend the Passim Burger which comes with rosemary fries. The perfect dessert was the warm bread pudding. Its a huge portion that can be shared between two people. Go enjoy yourself!

In this age of digital music, YouTube, auto-tune and cynicism, there is something truly spiritual and uplifting about being in a venue that connects you LIVE with music that is real. Its a room that encourages the engagement between the artist and the patron and the intimacy is unique. Passim is truly a special place. I have seen some remarkable musicians there-- Peter Mulvey, Martin Sexton, Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin-- but also have seen new artists launch their careers. Open mic, Cutting Edge of the Campfire, the Iguana Music grants and the school of music all show that Passim is more than a music venue. Its a vital part of the musical ecosystem. Check it out and replenish your musical soul!

I love what they are doing here. First, its a live music venue that focuses on folk music. Its small (intimate) but theyre also all about the community. They run the Iguana Music Fund that gives scholarships to music and community oriented projects. Also, they recently started doing food in-house and got a great chef. The food is good! Its not only "really good for a music venue" but it actually is good in its own right. They have a beer and wine license and serve local brews from Cambridge Brewing Company.

Two of us wandered in at noon looking for brunch, which they offer from 10am to 2pm on weekends. The food was excellent and the portions very generous. We split a three egg scramble and French toast with berry compote. We brought half of it home. Cheerful attentive service, too. Music wasnt bad, but the food was the highlight.

Nice local performance music venue, tight-knit community. Reasonably-priced food service during shows and supports local emerging artists. The seating is always really packed in, so it makes getting around and sitting a bit tight.

TOP Notch music nearly every night. Worth every penny spent. They also stream their shows on Concert Window every night as well, so if youre out of the area or cant make it to a show, watch online! Social place, great food too!

Best music room in Cambridge. Dont go if youre looking for fancy, but if you want pure, earnest folk in a club where people actually care about the music. this is it. Good veggie eats too!

Donald Ahlgren

good place for live musc. summer months have long time local fans of the club. other times it is a haven of live music filled with students.

Walker Ranger

Great venue to catch a show close up. Food looked great and the drink service during the shows was on point. Would go back any day.

Classic folk venue. Super white, but as long as that doesnt bother you it is exactly what youd think. Nationally known.

Tom Smith

The performances and sound are very good, but the space is super tight. The food menu is also very limited, but good.

Denise Thorud

Intimate basement setting in the heart of Harvard Square. Great live music. Sat/Sun brunch worth getting up.

Christian Betancourt

Cozy little place in a Cambridge basement. A little tight, but friendly and good music.
