About The Burren

The Burren is a beloved Irish pub and live music venue located in the heart of Davis Square, Somerville. Operating in two intimate spaces—a front tavern-style room and a back performance room—the venue can host roughly 200–250 guests across configurations. With a history of long-running Irish sessions and the Celtic Sojourn series, The Burren remains a cornerstone of the Boston area’s live-music scene. As of January 2026, please note that The Burren is slated for relocation as part of a Davis Square redevelopment project; the venue itself will move to a new location but will continue to host performances and events. Here’s what you need to know to plan a visit and secure your seats with confidence.

Location, logistics, and insider tips help you make the most of a night at The Burren. While there is no published seating map, seating arrangements vary by show, with a stage in the back room and tavern-style seating in the front. Plan ahead for parking and transit: there’s no on-site parking, but metered street parking and nearby lots—Grove St Lot, Rite Aid Lot, and Herbert St Lot—are convenient options. The venue is highly walkable from the Davis Square MBTA Red Line station, making a subway-to-show plan a popular choice. For travelers, the Cambria Boston-Somerville Hotel sits about 0.7 miles away, making it an easy stroll or ride after a performance.
