The Roxy or Rumors???????

Which is considered the best nightclub?

We are flying in late next Friday night...were thinking of heading straight out to do something.....any suggestions???

We are staying at the Park Plaza....

If there is plenty to do with just walking around hitting bars..then we will do that.

Or do we need to go to a club??

Thanks!

The Roxy or Rumors???????

Lots of pubs around

Stay away from the Roxy its crime infested area and lots of drugs.

Try Newbury Street or over by School Street and Tremont for some great pubs like

The Last Hurrah,Emmetts,The Kinsale

The Roxy or Rumors???????

I think Boston is full of bar/clubs. Many of them are both, there is music and dancing. You can start at Whiskey Park right across from your hotel, it is upscale loungy bar but picks up later in the evening. Gypsy is a fun spot, located on Boylston Street near your Hotel, there are also many bar/clubs in ';The Alley'; behind Gypsy. Liquor Store has Boston%26#39;s 1st (and only) mechanical bull. On the other end of Boylston street more of the strictly bars, Dillons, the Vox, Whiskeys you can walk up and down Boylston (bewt. Clarendon and Mass Ave) to find all these.

Good Luck and enjoy

A friend of mine is a bartender at The Roxy on Friday nights, and I have to laugh at the idea that the area is crime/drug infested and to be avoided. That%26#39;s not accurate at all. The theatre district has a number of great clubs. Personally, I prefer Gypsy Bar, which is not far from The Roxy. I%26#39;d say the crowd there is generally mid to late twenties. It%26#39;s a really fun place with multiple rooms and a big jellyfish tank at the main bar. You might also want to check out The Alley, which has a number of bars that I think were mentioned previously, like Liquor Store and Big Easy. They can get pretty cheesy but fun. I%26#39;d say Gypsy Bar is more of an upscale club whereas the clubs in the The Alley are a little more spring breaky, so just totally depends on what you%26#39;re looking for. The Alley is right around the corner from Gypsy Bar, so you%26#39;ll have choices once you get there.

Just to let you know all these spots listed are all right near each other. You could walk to each of them but might want to catch a cab because its really cold at night.

The Roxy which is on Tremont St. used to be one of the hottest spots in Boston a couple years ago...it has lost its hype (its right in the heart of the theater district actually)

You should check out the GYPSY Bar on Bolyston St. NICE place. I go there a lot with my friends. I%26#39;m 26...all ages in that place ranging from 21-35 probably...BUT its expensive...$9 per drink but the beers are only $5...the cover is $10.

The %26#39;Ally%26#39; other people mentioned is also very cool and more laid back, not as nice though...%26#39;top 40%26#39; music. Both the Big Easy'; and ';The Liquor Store'; are cool. Sometimes the lines get long though. They have late night pizza right there too! The alley is a rock throw from Gypsy Bar. You could do all three if you wanted to.

Anyway your hotel and Whisky Park are right down the street. Whisky Park is cool. I go there for pre-drinks or on a date. Its a lounge with good music so dancing is limited, it gets crowded. True though it does pick up quite late.

Further down on Boylston in the other direction of the Alley are other bars like The Vox, Whiskies, Rattlesnake, and Saint. These are social bars to drink and talk. I find it hard to stay at these places for a long time. I usually pre-drink at these places.

I noticed no one mentioned the Faniel Hall bars. This is a cab ride to another part of Boston about ten minutes away (if that). There are many bars here. I recommend the ones closer to the financial district (on the right of Faniel Hall). McFaddin%26#39;s, The Place, or Sanctuary. These places all have large Sport-playing TV%26#39;s and music and dancing. McFadden%26#39;s has been a hot spot lately. %26#39;The Rack%26#39; is also good and well known..but its been losing its hype as well.

Anyways I like Gypsy Bar the best but that%26#39;s just me...I don%26#39;t know what type of place you%26#39;re really looking for.

Be ware of the person saying the area of the Roxy is not crime infested. The bartender friend must be blind, or very ill informed of whats been going on right in front of the bars.

Just ask the Boston Police where the top 3 highest drug and crime spots,shootings,fights etc take place in Boston.

Dorchester

Roxbury

Theatre District/Chinatown

Just the Facts

You have received a lot of great answers. I just happened to notice no one mentioned anything about Rumor. Rumor and Venu (the club right next door) are pretty much the most popular clubs right now in Boston. I personally go to Venu every now and then but, I prefer going to the bars on Boylston Street. The Alley is a good time as well. Unlike what people have said above the Theater District is a safe area. My girlfriends go out in this area and never have had a problem. Like any other area in any other city you just have to be aware of your surrondings and you%26#39;ll be fine.
