===Allston / Brighton=== 
Home to mostly smaller, grittier rock venues. Colloquially known as "Allston Rock City", check out [http://www.commongroundallston.com/ Common Ground], [http://www.brightonmusichall.com/ Brighton Music Hall] (née Harper's Ferry), [http://www.greatscottboston.com/ Great Scott] and [http://www.wonderbarboston.com/ Wonderbar]. Dress codes are unlikely, although cover charges for live music are typically cheap ($5-$15). At the easternmost edge is also [http://www.thedise.com/ Paradise Rock Club] that features many good indie bands, although tickets are usually required to be purchased ahead of time. The best place for beer in the city is also here - [http://www.allstonsfinest.com/allstonsfinest/sunsetgrillandtap/sunsetgrill&tap.swf Sunset Grille] sports over 100 beers on draught (tap) and nearly 300 bottles to pick from. Above this is [http://www.allstonsfinest.com/allstonsfinest/bigcity/bigcity.swf Big City], a large billiards/foosball hall. Harvard Ave Station on the Green B line, and then walk north 5-10 minutes on Harvard Avenue. '''Warning''' - this area is not typically covered or included on downtown tourist maps! '''Finding public parking spaces in this area is ''very'' difficult''', so look at a map and take a bus route like the [http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/bus/routes/?route=66 #66], or consider taking a taxi from somewhere nearby instead - a cab fare will certainly be cheaper than a parking ticket ($40) or being towed ($150+).
