Welcome to Boston’s nightlife scene,
your source for the best in nightly entertainment. This
guide gives you a peek inside some of the most popular
establishments within the city limits – because in this
historic city, the after-five and weekend crowds give
social studies a whole new meaning.
Each of this region’s four distinct seasons is
brimming with fun when the sun goes down. The bars and
clubs are diverse, ranging from the simple to the daring
and high-tech. You’ll see places that are gimmicky,
while others look like they’re run by the fashion
police. You’ll find a few places that aren’t for the
cautious-minded – even one or two your momma warned you
about! But whatever atmosphere you deem cool, the music is
infectious and the dance floors enticing. They’re all
are confirmed crowd-pleasers and have a common
denominator: you can feel free to be yourself.
The nightlife here is just as you want it, encompassing
enough spots for you to customize your evening on the
town. With a large array of pubs and bars, lounges,
dance clubs,
live music, sports
bars
and comedy clubs, Boston is packed with
the hippest clubs in which to enjoy your night out. From
cozy, intimate havens like Regattabar, and the
hat-backwards sports outlets, to the raving epicenter of
the dance crazed on Lansdowne Street, the city’s
night-moves receive white-hot attention from natives and
visitors alike.
As you’ll see, much of the dance club scene lies on
Lansdowne Street, a magnet for the 18 to 25 crowd. If you
want to party with college kids head here or flock to
Allston, located near the campus of Boston university and
Boston College. Sports bars pepper the city and
attract all ages, especially during play-offs and
championships.
If you’re looking to laugh, comedy clubs are
located in the Theater District or at Faneuil Hall, busy
yet quieter areas frequented by all age groups – last
minute show tickets are usually available at theater box
offices. Many of the live music and themed establishments
are in Cambridge and attract various ages depending on the
band or theme du jour.
If you’re looking to avoid college kids altogether,
head for the more expensive bars and lounges, most of
which are in the downtown area near Faneuil Hall and the
Financial District. And if you’ve never been, have a
drink at the Bull & Finch for the Cheers experience.
It’s virtually impossible not to have a great time
– so get swept up in the excitement and let Boston’s
spirit capture you! Wear the right shoes and don’t
forget your keys, money and ID. Just throw on your best
Boston accent and hit the scene to get a taste of what
Beantown has to offer.
