Citizens House Of Blues - Boston

We had a wonderful time at the show the other evening and usually enjoy ourselves during each concert. The venue combined the former Axis and Avalon venues to create the House of Blues and their bar/restaurant. While it's nice to get there early and grab a bite or a drink, there's nothing spectacular about the menu. Security upon entering is quick and thorough so it's another plus. The first floor has three bars, restroom, the band merchandise area, and plenty of room for finding the best view of the stage. The second floor is smaller with standing room only however, there are obstructed views due to columns so getting a good spot means you have to arrive early. The third floor has seating but provides unobstructed views of the stage. Sadly, this venue does not have re-entry and they no longer have the option for smokers to step outside from the back of the venue for a break. While they do offer a decent selection if beers, especially from some of the local breweries, they're not always in stock so it makes for a hit-or-miss experience. I was surprised to see they now offer pretzels, cinnamon bites, and mini bags of chips, but none of these options are gluten-free, nor does their restaurant menu. Generally, the sound of the performances and experience of a concert are always positive which keeps me coming back. I recommend seeing a show at the venue and will be coming back for future shows.

First concert at Citizens House of Blues in Boston. This didn't disappoint. We saw Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience and what a show. What a venue-everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. All staff members were helpful and gave assistance when necessary.

An AMAZING VENUE!! Halloween 2025 my boyfriend proposed to me here during a meet and greet with the band members of Thrice! An unforgettable night, from an amazing atmosphere, to amazing service and kindness in the foundation room, great food and drinks and a huge standing room venue for shows. Thank you to our server AJ in the foundation room for making our night even more special! We will definitely be back to make more memories!

Second time I visit this venue and it was outstanding! Air conditioning could use an upgrade, but all things considered, that is nearly irrelevant. I paid for parking 15 minutes away from it to avoid the chaotic traffic of Fenway. The Architects concert was nothing short of epic, and the previous concert I went was LP and also really great. The bathroom is adequate for the amount of people and quite modern. All the staff was courteous and helpful.

Super small. But they dont have people packed in like sardines. Walked into the concert when it was half way through. Never even went upstairs to find our seats. Walked in and immediately had space to stand and have a awesome view. Has a bar like atmosphere which was different than other concerts ive been to. But I liked it alot. 👍👍
