Club Passim

Frommer's Review

Passim has launched more careers than the mass production of acoustic guitars -- Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, and Tom Rush started out here, and this is where you'll find Arlo Guthrie and Ellis Paul when they're in town. In a basement on the street between Harvard Coop buildings, the legendary coffeehouse (which doesn't serve alcohol) enjoys an international reputation built on nearly 40 years of nurturing new talent and showcasing established musicians. Patrons who have been regulars since day one mix with college students. There's live music nightly, and coffee and vegetarian food until 10:30pm. Tuesday is open-mic night. Open Sunday through Thursday from 11am to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am to midnight. Most shows start at 8pm.
