The Scene
Reflecting Central Square's colorful palette of residents and students, Cantab's regulars come in all shapes and sizes. By day, the down-on-their-luck (or those who pretend to be) suck down beers and watch TV through the dingy room's thick clouds of smoke. At night, the action heats up via live entertainment (a Cantab staple since 1975). Grizzled, congenial bartenders look and act like they've seen it all.

The Draw
The lounge's fulcrum is none other than "Little" Joe Cook, who's entertained area crowds for decades with an upbeat R&B act that includes his 1950s hit "Peanuts" and the folksy "Down at the Cantab." Wednesdays are reserved for Cook's blues jam, weekends for his concerts with the Thrillers. Other nights bring open-mic events, poetry slams, improv comedy and the area's top bluegrass action. After paying a cover, which varies depending on the night, expect an inexpensive night of drinking.
