The Bebop

The Bebop combines a pub meal with live music on Boylston Street, near Berklee. Music is scheduled seven days a week, so checking the calendar is part of choosing when to visit. Weekend afternoons have their own character: Saturday features jazz, while Sunday brings bluegrass alongside brunch.

The kitchen serves food through the evening, with the bar staying open later. That makes the Bebop an option for dinner with a performance as well as a drink after a nearby concert. Its owners also run the Burren in Somerville, another pub where music is central to the business. The address is 1116 Boylston Street. Look at the specific performance listing for start times and any admission arrangements; a full music calendar doesn’t mean every event has the same format.
