Downtown / Financial District, Boston –

Catering to fans of the local art and music scene, Good Life is an upscale multilevel club that draws a different crowd almost every night of the week, from rockers looking for live rock, funk, and blues bands and alternative types showing up for the underground DJs, to business people searching for a slightly sexier venue for their private events.

Early evenings see finance types stopping in for after-work cocktails and microbrews, most of them taking to the candlelit burgundy booths of the Vodka Lounge, a ten-degree, cellar-like room housing over a hundred types of vodka.

Two intimate bars upstairs feature rotating exhibits of abstract paintings by local artists, and provide more space for the chatty business crowd to mingle and flirt.

Later on, the suits are replaced by the kicks-and-hoodies set as loyal scenesters and music lovers roam up and down the stairs to check out what the DJs are spinning on both floors.

Though the club may be small, the diverse clientele and ever-changing action create an easygoing atmosphere that invites impromptu dance-offs and all-inclusive drunken revelry.

With a hip vibe and killer roster of acts, all who enter will be treated to the Good Life.

A Happy Medium in Downtown Boston
Meghan M.
Meghan M. Oct 1, 2012
One of my biggest gripes with the nightlife in Boston is that too few bars cater to my friends' eclectic taste in music & vibe. Most nights, I find myself with three girlfriends who just want to dance, two dudes that want to sip on Bud Light and watch the Celtics, and one hipster who's on an endless quest for dubstep. In these situations, Good Life is our safest bet. Separated into three distinct bar areas, Good Life offers something for just about anyone. Right when you walk in, you'll find a bar decorated with funky art, a TV that's usually playing a game, and a few top notch bartenders that are quick to serve you a decently priced vodka tonic. To the right, you'll find another bar room. Probably full of people dancing to throwback beats, I've seen this room host bachelorette parties, birthdays, and just overall good times. Downstairs is where Good Life gets a bit crazy. You'll turn a corner to find a DJ, strobe lights, couches for lounging and a floor for dancing. The bar down here gets a little backed up, so I like to keep my tab open upstairs. Overall, if your friends are arguing over spending Saturday night in Faneuil Hall or Central Square, consider Good Life a happy medium for all tastes. And another big plus--being downtown makes it a lot easier to get a cab at last call!
Middle School Dance Event

The only time I've ever been to Good Life was for a special monthly event called the Middle School Dance. It's exactly how it sounds--all the songs you would hear when you were in middle school. It is probably one of the better monthly events in Boston. Who wouldn't want to sing and dance to Backstreet Boys and do the macarena while they're drinking? The bar itself is also pretty cool, it's separated into two levels. I didn't get a chance to see the downstairs since it was packed, but the main floor is separated into a bar area and a dance floor area. The dance floor area wasn't too big but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The cover was only $5 and definitely worth it. I would definitely go back to this place with or without the event.
