Deep in the Heart of Boston tucked between a couple Dunkin's is the old skool style theater front that is Once Ballroom. This venue is a definitely has a interesting following has the windows are filled with independent artists and show forums. Inside the place the venue is definitely multifaceted as there seems to be a small kitchen in the back. Not to mention the various clutter around seems that this lovely scene can be used for pretty much any occasion. This clutter did have some effects on unbalancing the acoustics, but with the variety of chairs, low cover, and clean bathrooms more than made up for it. My favorite part of the venue was the various records that lined the bar giving a unique signature to the atmosphere.
The bar was a little lacking as there was not much for top shelf. However the collection of independent and local brews sold me otherwise.
Big plus to the parking lot across the street, this deep in Boston, you never see that. So definitely a 9 out of 10.
