About

Lou’s is a subterranean restaurant, cocktail bar, and live music venue in Harvard Square with nightly bands and DJs in a 1920s-inspired space. Opened in July 2025 in the former Beat Brasserie/Beat Hotel space at 13 Brattle St, it seats about 289 and pairs genre-hopping programming with a menu by chef Jason Bond. Steps from The Sinclair and Club Passim, it adds another intimate performance room to the neighborhood’s nightlife cluster.
