The House of Blues on Lansdowne Street is Boston's flagship mid-tier touring venue — touring acts from indie up to mid-major, two floors, the kind of show where you can still get to the front by 9pm. Walking distance from Fenway, T to Kenmore. Crowd skews Boston-college-and-young-pro. 21+ adults visiting from out of state: HOB is private property with strict bag check, cannabis isn't getting through; consume in private before or after.
