Mike and all performers were great!! So much fun! (Could have done without standing in line next to guys at urinals in order to wait for a bathroom stall though.) I recommend the show!

Killer venue. I wish I had known about it when I first moved to town. Cabaret style seating overall with a sort of balcony section stage right and, a large bar at the rear. Go see somebody you dont know do something cool. Live a little baby.

What a fun theater. i went to see the show Mount Olympus and it was a fantastic time. the place isnt huge but thats a plus when seeing a show with audience interaction and so many moving parts to the show. the bartenders were very nice and attentive and all the staff really seemed to want everyone to have a great time and really enjoy themselves. i would definitely recommend seeing shows here

Great theater hosting Club Drosselmeyer in December. There is a large bar serving cocktails and drinks.

The Donkey Show was a great night out. Very interactive. Shakespeare meets Studio 54!!!

Ive gone for a number of different shows, its a decent venue. Bathrooms look reasonably clean but smell like urine, so a deep clean might be needed. Bar is good, service is adequate. Their black walnut old fashioned is my favorite drink there.

Zero stars. Paid $55 dollars for each ticket for a cramped seat and we could barely move. Table sat four awkwardly placed at a circular 15inch table . Other couple spilled there drinks because they couldnt move. Horrible experience. The performances were good,actually better then that placed deserved! We would never, I mean EVER go there again.

This was a pretty good venue to watch a musical performance. We came here to hear the Lula Wiles CD release. The concert was great. I have to ding Oberon on their bathrooms however. I know its trendy and all to provide all gender bathrooms, but does that have to be the only alternative? Do women really feel comfortable seeing me trying to pee at the urinal? I would prefer to use a male bathroom myself, but thats not an option at Oberon. I think a venue like this should want to make all their guests feel comfortable including those who prefer the old fashioned gender segregated versions.

Amazing venue for local drag, burlesque, and other performances. The bar is great too. They have dance nights

Excellent mid-sized venue. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a coat and bag check between the entrance and the theater. A large bar takes up the wall opposite the stage. There is seating on a mezzanine (small tables) that provide a nice view of the stage and floor space. I greatly enjoyed my time at OBERON, and look forward to finding more excuses to visit again!

I personally did not enjoy this, but my friends that came with me loved it. So although I would have preferred to read the original mid summer nights dream, Im glad my friends could enjoy your performance. Thank you!

Great shows.!In response to the other reviews, there is a bathroom that is only stalls and another thats urinals and stalls.There is a wide variety of shows here and the crowd is welcoming. Weve been here many times and will be back!

I went to the Donkey Show. Very different and entertaining

Beautiful safe venue with amazing shows. A man walked up to me and nonconsensually put his arms around me and a bouncer walked right up to him and said if he touched another woman hed get thrown out. Seriously, absolutely amazing.

WOW!! SOOOO GREAT!! The Donkey Show is soooo fun! You will dance before, during and after the show. There are really great dancers and singers that perform 70s based musical acts and the whole thing is fun, funny, and just wonderful to watch. The performers are wearing glitter, big afro wigs, rollerskates, pasties, etc. Note FYI: you will be standing for the duration of the show. There are a few premium seats that are at tables, but all general admission ticket holders will be standing the whole time. you turn to face different sides of the room every few mins. Have fun!

One of my favorite venues out there! The shows are always fabulous, and they change the seating based on the performance. Drinks are delicious, but this time they definitely could have used one more bartender, as we waited a looong time for the bartenders attention!

Great show! A must see for disco/theater lovers!

It was a ton of fun. My wife loves the shows from drag queens.

I saw the Donkey Show here last week and it was a wild and whimsical time. This was my first experience with immersive theater and I must say the balance between story and audience participation was top notch. The show was seamlessly integrated with a general club-going experience, complete with a full bar. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Great show. Seating was cramped and visibility was poor. Chairs were like sitting on rocks. Crowd was very friendly.

Very cool space. Saw The Moth — highly recommend!

This place is great. The staff are always friendly, the shows are always fun and engaging, and its one of the best places in Boston you can see a drag show.

Saw Miss You Like Hell which was a phenomenal show that this venue seemed perfectly suited for. The drink list is good, and anytime you can drink in a theater is a good time.

A versatile performance space with a fun lineup of events. I live coming here for drag and burlesque shows. Its good to buy tickets well in advance, since the venue is a bit on the smaller side.

Large venue with really amazing shows - Ive been there for dance nights, sit-down comedy shows, and traveling acts. All unique and enjoyable! Bathrooms are coed/trans friendly

Ive had phenomenal experiences here! Top notch quality and a lot of fun!

Amazing place, incredible quality of space and programming. People who really care. Go see something at Oberon!

Great experiences and performances at all times!

Went to see The Donkey Show and had a blast. This piece of disco theatre was exactly what I wanted it to be!

Had a phenomenal time seeing the Donkey Show, the show is energetic, engaging, and just over all very fun. The cast is incredibly talented and entertaining. The drinks are excellent and the staff is lovely as well. Just be prepared to be on your feet dancing for the duration of the show!On a more serious note (with a spoiler, so be aware), the show is based off of A Midsummer Nights Dream, and having it in a disco club setting can really highlight how uncomfortable certain parts of the story are (specifically Oberon and Puck making Titania fall in love with a donkey). The cast performed them phenomenally, but if you are someone who cannot watch a scene where an unconscious woman is drugged against her will without experiencing extreme discomfort or trauma, be aware that these themes and scenes will be present in the performance.

Great acoustics and great performances!

Ambience, unique experience, friendliness, and great venue for a small audience. Somewhat cramped seating arrangement.

Absolutely amazing! Enjoyed the show and will definitely be back!

Imagine a club except also Shakespeare... the show is amazing, the people that go are fun, and there is a bar as well as reserved tables. It’s something that everyone should see at least once.

Staff was professional polite and kind, the audio was good, the show was amazing the drinks were well priced and good

Its not a bad venue - very club-like atmosphere, limited seating for performances, somehow manages to be slightly uncomfortable at all times. Bag checks and ID checks are also not pleasant. Staff generally is not that friendly. Drinks are nothing special. I only go when Boston Circus Guild is performing but if they found another venue I probably would never go to Oberon.

Had a fun date here, the show was a little strange but in a good wayI recommend grabbing seats early, I had to stand at the bar for the whole show.The lighting designer Andy did a great job!

Such a good time!

Some of the best shows and performances Ive ever seen happen here

Just saw the Batman themed burlesque show here. Had a great time! The preformers made full use if the venue and it was easy to get a drink at the bar as well.

The drinks so good and the show so funny!

I went there to see the Donkey show. It was a great performance and the venue is really cool. Overall amazing experience!

Great performance space. Ive seen a number of shows and concerts in this location. Some great local happenings occur here. The Boston area needs a lot more venues like this for local artists.The bathrooms are clean and neat, coat check is efficient, and theres a bar right there. Parking can be an issue in the neighborhood, so plan ahead on that count.

Wonderful venue great parking area if its a Sunday night.

A relatively small club with a wide dance floor and a large stage where they perform some shows (we went for a James Bond themed drag queen show). Very few seats though. The bar has the standard drinks. Staff is friendly. Parking is only on-street which may be hard to find during an academic semester, when Harvards students are around.

Great venue for live performances!

Saw the Donkey Show and a 1-time performance art + music show here. Donkey show was fun and both were certainly interesting. I think its a convenient spot for Cambridge residents to enjoy a different night out vs the usual dinner/drinks.

I always see outstanding creative shows here. Its a one-of-a-kind theater space in Harvard Square, definitely worth seeing.

One of the iconic theater in Boston. Great shows !

I had no idea what to expect when I bought tickets. It was an experience ! A dance party with a show in the middle. It was a bit hard to keep track of what was happening and what was going on. I should have read a summary of mid summer nights dream before going

Rudest staff ever! Our band took a whole day off from work to play this place for free. They made us check in 6 hours before the gig, and then had gear set up that they tried to charge us $75 to use it even though we had our own stuff. We got a huge attitude from them when we refused. For the rest of the night the stage hand was rude and snappy, even yelled at one point. Complete unprofessionalism.

Their Cirque of the Dead show was really fun. Id love to go see more shows there. Also, be sure to take advantage of coat check so youre not holding a bunch of jackets on the floor, theres very few seats on the floor.

I attended a private party at this place. The space is very nice everything is clean and well made

Lots of fun! Highly recommend it

Never been disappoint with a show there. They use the space well and have a wonderful system with friendly staff and performers.

I went for the Donkey Show and it was an incredible experience- I cannot wait to go again!

The Oberon is a unique theatre space that plays host to a variety of quirky shows. The performances are almost always audience-interactive, utilizing the stage, dance floor and upper cat walk for an anything-but-ordinary theatre experience. Prices are always reasonable for the actual shows but the drink prices are OUTRAGEOUS--that is the one downfall.

This is a horrid place. I am very fine with gender neutral bathrooms, but i object opening a door and see men at the urinal. the sign says everything is private. Not so. I hate this building. When i asked the person at the desk about it, she pretty much told me tough i will never go to any venue here.

What a fantastic party!!! Dance, sing, drink, dance some more, and enjoy the show!!

Great spot for original and interesting shows. Came most recently for burlesque, but its an excellent spot for all sorts of theater. Food and drink accessible nearby, parking is a little sparse but doable, easily accessed by the T.

The Donkey Show was an unforgettable experience! Trying to find anything like it anywhere else has been difficult. Looking forward to doing it again sometime in the future. Great venue!

Best space for some good clean or dirty fun in Cambridge.

Venue was pretty nice.

Love all the crazy and wild shows at Oberon! And of course the drinks, too!

Attended a burlesque show and had an amazing time! The space and the staff were fantastic! Will definitely return for other events.

Best local venue for experimental theatre. Also a great bar.

Great spot never have a bad time.

More fun and stimulation for your brain than the usual bar, and more drinks than your usual theatre. this venue, part of the american repertory theater is an interesting place to see a modern interpretation of midsummer nights dream and get some dancing and drinking in at the same time. they also have other shows, but i havent see those.

Dont bother seeing the current show unless you like puzzles.... boring! 12/2018

Love this place! The 80s disco feel is here!!!

Cozy venue that shows a variety of live theater. Seating varies by show, but there is a coat check, bar, and table service.

Nice atmosphere. Table service was good

The Femme Show was my first introduction into the FEMME WORLD. I loved it.

The greatest art and queer friendly art/ theater space in all of Boston/ Cambridge

Great venue!

Great shows, great staff

Small but fun venue.

I mean I work here so Im slightly biased but its a nice venue with a great range of shows.

Great, alternative shows at reasonable prices. Drinks are creative and reasonable as well. Donkey Show is brilliant!

Great experience here!

Went there for a story slam reading. Fun event, great venue.

Th e donkey show was so much fun!

The staff is very good. The shows vary depending on what is showing. Parking can be difficult so plan to take the T or alternative transportation.

The shows here are quite innovative and extremely inspired but unfortunately the staff are terribly rude to the point that I felt targeted—verging on racism. The shows at the Oberon have been very upsetting experiences for me and my friends, and while I have enjoyed shows at the A.R.T, I would not recommend any events at the Oberon.

Huge venue, 2 big all genders bathrooms. Great staff behind the bar.

Saw the Donkey Show; so much fun!

Awesome theater. The staff here is great and those who perform seem to love so doing it here.

Black Love was a wonderful show.

Great place to see a show. Drinks are expensive. I got confused by the unisex bathrooms.

The show was great!

Love it here! Amazing shows! Great environment! Worth every penny!

Julius Wade had an excellent play here... Sweeney Todd

The Donkey Show was vibrant and fun.

Amazing and unique performances

Quirky venue, great for intimate performances. They host very cool events.

A grerat space for the ART and everything they do here does a great job of retelling stories to be perfect and as though they are happenign in a club. Which I love.

Loved it!! The performance amazing as always !!!

Great performance space. Saw The Donkey Show, unforgettable experience!

Great club with great shows, a good place to go if you have an open mind, as this is not a place for church goers.
