The Middle East In Cambridge Re-Opening This Weekend
Some good news: the iconic Central Square restaurant that also serves as a popular music venue's future was unknown just a few months ago.
CAMBRIDGE, MA — After a year of uncertainty for restaurants and nightclubs around Boston, The Middle East in Cambridge has announced its re-opening in a Facebook post.
Having featured a huge variety of musicians since 1987, The Middle East has served as a popular music venue for all, known for showcasing newer local artists around the area.
The Middle East closed its doors during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it was reported last year that the complex was up for sale.
