The new venue seats 2,500 plus another 350 in a private lounge area. The space also includes a dining area with 150 seats.
The original House of Blues, started in Cambridge's Harvard Square in 1992 by Hard Rock Cafe founder Isaac Tigrett and comic Dan Akyroyd, showcased Southern music - blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, and rock.
Tigrett and Akyroyd sold the club in 2006 to Live Nation, a large entertainment company that has now opened a dozen other HOBs around the country.
With the closing of the Cambridge location and the opening of the new Fenway site, the popular club comes full circle in the Boston area.
Acts like the Gipsy Kings, the Dropkick Murphys, Etta James, Jeff Beck, Prodigy, and Rise Against draw big crowds of fans to the new House of Blues Boston.
The on-site restaurant features soups, salads, and sandwiches, plus a few southern-type dinners such as ribs with sweet potatoes and Cajun meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy.
A Sunday "Gospel Brunch" is especially popular. With a family-oriented music show featuring gospel groups plus a breakfast buffet featuring southern-style specialties, HOB's Gospel Brunch is a favorite Boston Sunday destination.

Four of us are coming to Boston for the weekend for a Red Sox game. We thought we'd also go to House of Blues because it's near Fenway Park. Where's the best place to stay?
Several hotels are just a short walk away. If you want an inexpensive hotel, check out the Boston Hotel Buckminister and Best Western Boston. For a more luxe experience, there's Hotel Commonwealth.
