District Lounge

Chinatown / Leather District, Boston –

A swanky playground for affluent professionals, party girls, and the occasional Celtics point guard, District Lounge is a hopping nightspot tucked away in the city’s up-and-coming Leather District.

Fashionable patrons who make it past the nondescript door, or who are lucky enough to be on the guest list, will be ushered into a dim hallway leading to a spacious chamber where sexy twenty-somethings shake it to Top 40 hits and hip-hop.

Walls lined with birch tree trunks, glossy white and floral chandeliers, and scattered black and white ottomans create a luxe ambiance for the well-heeled clientele that gathers at the cocktail tables or crowds into white patent leather booths to indulge in a few martinis and some heavy flirting.

Various theme nights gets a changing crowd from night to night, with a more sophisticated set stopping in on Classic Wednesdays and Status Saturdays, and jocks, coeds, and international types tossing back shots on Thursdays and Fridays.

The place can definitely get rowdy as tipsy patrons take to the dance floor, but those in need of a breather need only slip down the hall to the lounge, where a long banquette and a comfy black bed behind gauzy curtains provide plenty of space for mingling with VIPs over bottle service.

Posh but unpretentious, District Lounge is the place for club lovers looking for a touch of class.
