Boston Clubs Overview

Bars, beer, and sports define Bean town’s nightlife landscape, but there are also enough Boston clubs to keep the thousands of students and post grads dancing, grinding, and flirting any day of the week.

Nightclubs obviously aren’t what come to mind when thinking about Boston, but for patrons who want to hobnob with the jet-set and maybe run into a Patriot, Celtic, or Sox player, there are a smattering of hot clubs and VIP hotspots in the Leather District, Back Bay, and Downtown.

The rest of the clubs in Boston run the gamut from multi-functional dance and drinking spots (think bachelorette and birthday parties) and very accessible dance clubs with no cover, to out-of-this-world jazz joints and comedy clubs.

And because of the more than 50 universities and colleges, there’s an ever-changing supply of students looking to get dolled up, shake their tail-feathers, and flirt like crazy at clubs around the city.

It’s not a club town, but Boston has just enough nightlife variety to keep its denizen’s toes tapping whether it’s for the hottest new DJ spinning dubstep or just swinging to jazz and blues.
