The Middle East Upstairs is a well-known independent music venue located in Cambridge’s Central Square. Established in 1985 as part of the larger Middle East complex, it has become a staple for both local and touring acts across a wide range of genres, particularly indie rock, punk, metal, and experimental music. The Upstairs room specifically is noted for its intimate capacity – approximately 250 standing – and its history of hosting emerging artists alongside established names. It's characterized by a relatively raw aesthetic and consistently supports diverse musical programming within the Boston area music scene.
