Middle East

CAMBRIDGE. "Eclectic" barely scratches the surface when attempting to describe this live music venue's week-to-week lineup of bands, which can include everything from bare-boned rock-n-roll and alternative bands to punk and rap acts. Indeed, the club is versatile to say the least. Aside from offering live music in three distinct settings (Upstairs, the Corner and Downstairs), the club also sports a bit of avant-garde edge by affording local artists space to display their work. In addition, the three performance rooms share space with stylish ZuZu!, a restaurant that serves incredible Middle Eastern cuisine.
