With a history of hosting major acts and versatile events, MAD House 101 is a dependable stop for memorable nights out. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before the show or catching a headlining performance, we’ve got you covered with straightforward booking and insider tips.

Key note: The Griffin Restaurant space was repurposed and rebranded to MuleKick@MAD in 2021, while the core MAD venues—including the First Financial Music Hall—continue to deliver top-tier performances.
