The Lilypad

Inman Square · Cambridge · cap 97

a storefront listening room in inman square, going since 2005. mostly seated, mostly early, mostly weird - a DJ set here is a listening session, not a club night, and that is the point.

good to know

shows run early and short by club standards - an advertised 10pm set can be the whole night and done by 11:30. the room works off outside promoters, so the calendar is whatever cambridge's experimental scene brings it. capacity is 97 on paper; listings run tighter - 80 standing, 60 seated. door math is kind: $15 at the door against $12 online on typical listings. new since 2025, the room also opens in the daytime - free weekday noon concerts and a daytime membership push (@lilypaddaytime). shows are all ages unless a listing says otherwise.
