Krissy critiques every last live-music venue she's been to of late:

Harper's Ferry — despite being in Allston, all of the shows I've been to there were free of that fratty crowd. It's a cool place with good bands that go there…lots of jam bands. However, Harper's Ferry has three strikes against them. 1) They will not give you a glass of water. They force you to purchase bottled water. 2) They have a dress code. The bouncers may or may not enforce it. 3) Surly employees. The bartenders are sometimes too busy gossiping with each other to serve you. A lot of the bouncers are twerps on a power trip.
