La Flèche d’Or

[UPDATE: La Flèche is now closed for the entire summer for sound-proofing renovations. We'll post a re-opening date when it's available] This converted train station is at the center, or at least the bottom rung, of the local indie music scene. Entrance is free every night to see at least three bands. Obscure and soon-to-fade artists share the bill with local favorites like The Dø and traveling luminaries like Zach Condon. An adjoining restaurant hangs out over abandoned tracks and serves fare that’s good for (not much besides) soaking up the pricey beer. Open every night.
