Fodor's Expert Review Johnny D's Uptown

This is as close as Boston gets to a rural roadhouse: good eats and good music, where every seat is a good seat. The diverse lineup sweeps into Cajun, country, rockabilly, blues, roots, world, jazz, Latin, and poetry. Come early for Southern and Mediterranean bistro food, local craft brews, or on weekends enjoy a jazz brunch from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, and Sunday open blues jams. Minors may visit with a parent or guardian.
