Spoiler!

At the start of the movie you think he has a regular gig, gets attacked for no reason, and wakes up in that bed sometime later. At the end you see that He had a gig and got beat up, and you're thinking is this some eternal circle? Only this time Bob Dylan came in to tell him it's all over for him [symbolically and based on what we know in real life about how Dylan took over the scene Llewyn wanted and blew it up], the guy beat him up for heckling his wife, end of story. He's beat down. End of story, no loop. Him waking up 'after' in the beginning of the movie was actually a flashback to the true start of the story of his demise.
