Drove 5 hours from Jersey JUST to see the sensational Emily Reo at the delightful Lilypad. My pregnant wife was even able to sit front row in a super comfy chaise. So even though Ms. Reo played a super short set, the entire experience at The Lilypad was worth the drive.

Small space but great for an intimate musical show. They have drinks available. Sound mix was perfect. Admission varies by the performer. Other restaurants near by.

The Lilypad is a wonderful small music venue in Cambridge that books a diverse array of performers. It is a gem of a place that keeps the music and culture going. It has the open-minded vibe of a performance and art space, instead of booking only certain ends of the spectrum, as many venues do. You are as likely to find here skillful, and often edgy, jazz and world musicians that might play in a concert hall as you are rock and pop acts trying to set the new trends while playing the clubs. You can check their listings to see what's playing, but I'd say it's a safe bet to just go there and take a chance on what they've curated for you. I remember this space hanging their sign in late 2012/early 2013 shortly after I moved to an apt nearby (I live further away now but still close enough to bike down there in 20 min), and it's great that a place like this not only exists, but that it's been going strong for nearly a decade. They have a small selection of excellent beers on draft, as well as wine and cider. Cool tarot-inspired art painted on the walls. The only initiation is folly. Love it.
