The Place Club / Restaurant / Sports Bar

Crowd

Wild frat boys and sorority sisters, loud bros, college kids, and after-work financial types catching the game over a few too many drinks, early to late 20s.

Entertainment / Music

Nightly DJ spins Top 40, club mash-ups, and R&B hits after 10pm. Playlist of 80s pop and rock classics in the early evening. Numerous flat-screens tuned to sports.

Nightly showcase at 1:45am (times vary) featuring an eleven-minute video recounting some of Boston’s best sports moments.

Seasonal theme nights on Wednesdays when bartenders and customers alike don items like sexy Santa gear in winter and skimpy beachwear in summer.

Hot Nights / When to Go

Close By

Down the block from The Place, McFadden’s (148 State Street) is another sports bar that becomes a crazed dance space late into the night and draws a similar crowd.
