The Rockwell is a unique and intimate underground theater in Davis Square, Somerville. It is a cool, small venue with a great stage, described as very chill and a nice little spot for a drink, a show, or both. The staff are consistently noted as friendly, helpful, and great. It hosts fun, intimate performances from local artists to world-renowned musicians across over 500 shows annually, creating memorable experiences. While the space depends on a good crowd for maximum fun, it accommodates up to 203 people and is praised as a most unique venue that truly sets the bar for performing arts.
Saw three bands here for a solid price. I like the intimacy of the venue, and appreciated the layout that combined standing and sitting options.
