If you've had FUN at the Cantab Lounge, please post your experience on the Yelp.com link
Look at the Great Review on YELP from JasonG, Torrance CA:
https://www.yelp.com/biz/cantab-lounge-cambridge?fsid=9BsFokeieSsrlri-59-n7g
We came here after the graduation and lots of wine as well as hefty portions of champagne with lots of friends. We wanted to check out good local music and we were amazed. Pineapple Jam played an amazing set while we enjoyed some great local brews on tap for very reasonable prices.
The venue has two rooms for music and the $10 cover was extremely reasonable considering how good their drink prices are. The music was loud, the energy was way up there and everyone had a blast.
If any of the other local bands that play through here sound anywhere near as good as this I would definitely recommend coming back any weekend. We were able to find parking at a lot around the block and the line to get in wasn't a long wait.

highways and byways of traditional and vernacular American music in a
unique and compelling way that’s all their own. If they come your way,
don’t miss them.”

Directions
to the Cantab Lounge
_____________________________
Local Directions:
The Cantab Lounge is centrally located and easy to find at 738 Massachusetts Avenue (MassAve) in colorful Central Square Cambridge at the "north" end of the square on the "west" side of the street, two doors down from the 7-Eleven on the corner of MassAve and Pleasant.
_____________________________
From the West:
Consult a map in conjunction with all directions. Take MassPike I-90 East to Exit 18 for Allston & Cambridge. Watch out! It's a LEFT exit and the people here drive like lunatics. After the tollbooth, follow signs for Central Square. 1.2 miles from the tollbooth, you’ll hit MassAve at right angles.

_________________________________
At this intersection, the Cantab is less than one
block to your LEFT ("north"), but you can’t take a left there. So:
cross MassAve and go around the block by making LEFTs. After your final
LEFT onto MassAve again, the Cantab comes up quickly on your RIGHT
("west").
______________________________
From the North: many routes possible
Locals might take 93 South to Medford, find and turn LEFT ("south") onto MassAve, and proceed "south" to Central Square Cambridge to find the Cantab’s green awning on the RIGHT at 738 MassAve. It might take 45 minutes driving carefully from the Medford exit off 93 to the Cantab. If you get lost, and you will, keep heading "south" on MassAve to Central Square.

From the South: many routes possible
From NYC, take I-90. From Rhode Island or Cape Cod, take 93 North to the MassPike West to Exit 18 to Central Square Cambridge. As above, the distance from the Exit 18 tollbooth to MassAve in Central Square is 1.2 miles. Follow directions above in the third paragraph beginning "At this intersection".
