Following off a sold-out performance at TD Garden, Tyler, The Creator made an unannounced appearance at Madhouse Cafe in Boston this week. The rapper and producer reportedly spent over an hour at the local café playing chess.
According to a statement shared by Madhouse Cafe, Tyler’s visit was quiet and unpublicized, allowing the artist to relax undisturbed. “It might be a really bad photo,” the post read, “but more about the concept; that someone, somehow recommended Madhouse as a place to chill… after selling out TD Garden.”
The visit marks a moment of visibility for the neighborhood café, which expressed gratitude for being chosen as a post-show stop. “It’s an honor to know our name was on the to-go list for an artist of this caliber,” the post continued, while also commending staff and patrons for respecting Tyler’s space during his stay.
The visit underscores Madhouse Cafe’s growing reputation as a local space for low-key gatherings and community comfort.
