Moderate tempos, lots of New England tunes. The room is a little wierd - it eats whatever is going on and spits it out kind of soft and from nowhere. It makes it easy for people to talk over the session but everyone still gets heard. And they play on a stage, also wierd but not awful. I have to say I prefer the dingy and dark corners and this McSports bar doesn't have a single one of those. That said, the liquor store next door is very well stocked.
Sally O'Briens session/ Union Square Somerville, Ma.
Open session Tuesdays from 6-9 pm. Friendly people and good pub food.
