P.A.'s Lounge

P.A.'s Lounge is a music venue in Union Square, Somerville, that hosts performances by local and touring bands. The performance space creates an intimate setting where visitors can enjoy live music in an up-close environment.

The space began as a Portuguese American restaurant in the 1970s before becoming a dedicated music venue in 2002. This shift established it as a key location for Somerville's developing live music scene.

The space functions as a gathering point for the local music community, offering artists a regular platform to perform their work. The welcoming environment encourages visitors to discover new bands and musical talent.

Check ahead for upcoming performances since the schedule changes regularly throughout the week. Arriving early on show nights helps secure a good spot to enjoy the music.

The venue was rebranded as Union Tavern in 2019 and added an outdoor beer garden next to the performance space. This expansion allows guests to enjoy time outside between sets.
