Thunder Road Music Club & Rock n’ Roll Bistro

A little ticked that we’ve been waiting over two hours to see the headliner. Asked several times by phone and in person when the band was going on. No mentioned of an opener, who was fairly dreadful. My first time at the venue and a poor impression. Arrived an hour before official «door time» to have dinner with a friend and in the middle of load in. Thought that would have happened before they opened so patrons could avoid trying to shout over sound check. Otherwise, good small rock venue.

This place was pretty cool. Chill atmosphere and everything is shiny and new since it has been open just a couple of months. No complaints, the staff was nice, the drinks were made well and we were able to have seats and enjoy the show from an elevated vantage point.

I drove in to Somerville as I am a huge fan of Lez Zeppelin and they were playing at this new venue on Nov 20.
I found on street parking a very short walk from Thunder Road. It was metered but only until 8pm then it’s free so I ponied up the $ 1.50 (tip: bring quarters) and felt I got a good deal.
The venue has been completely redone. Everything’s new, and clean (including the rest room). The staff were all friendly, polite, and efficient (Especially the guy with the long beard who may have been the manager — I didn’t ask). There were four in my party and we arrived at 6:30 for what we thought was an 8pm show. Turns out it was a 10pm show. No big deal. We got there early enough to snag a table and It gave us time to visit with friends we don’t see often enough.
We ordered dinner. They had various burgers. I ordered the Cuban. The Cuban was okay. They all raved about the burgers. Next time, I’ll order a burger as well. (Burger w/​fries was $ 13 plus tax and tip.) I’m not a cake fan but we split a slice of their chocolate cake. I recommend it.
It’s a small, intimate venue. I was at the stage when the music started. Can’t get any closer without becoming a band member.

This is a great new small venue in Somerville. All new equipment and a fantastic beer selection. The atmosphere was nice and the food was great as well (I had the Thunder Road burger…4/5 on that. Fries were delicious though!). Our server Brianna was amazing. She even let my girlfriend stash her purse next to hers. The show was awesome, the sound was awesome, and the staff was awesome. Can’t wait to come back!

Squeaky clean, new venue. Catch it while it still has that new car smell. Solid music and sound. The Cuban sandwich was also delicious.

Might have been an off night but the beer taps were not clean resulting in not one but two disgusting drafts. I couldn’t drink either so I finally got a standard mixed drink. Normal…
Now to the rest of the experience… band was great. Service was great.
If you come don’t get a draft beer and you will be fine.

Great atmosphere with a welcoming staff. The live music is a fantastic touch to be paired with the fantastic food.
Seems like a spot with average bar food but it is far more. The kitchen staff truly knows how to make you strive for one more bite.
Although the club hasn’t been open long, there also hasn’t been a single disappointing live performance.
Between the music, food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff; I see this club being heavily populated in the near future.
