What we say
Boston's only afterhours club, popular on Saturdays
This afterhours club is mixed gay/straight and is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday has traditionally been the night for the gay boys, but the crowd has been dwindling of late and management (who are themselves gay) are starting to try to attract a wider audience by moving away from more traditional "gay circuit djs." Time will tell how this night fares, be sure to write a review and let us know.

The night we went, there were a lot of str8 people, but that was okay. Everyone seems to get along great. This is something that is happening all over the country nowadays. Hep str8's and Hep gays party together.

I used to go RISE pretty often back in my party days. Only thing that I disagreed with is that you have to know a member to get in, or to obtain your own membership. Cranking sound system and lights. Feels like a fire trap though as its on a 2nd & 3rd floor and 1 exit.
Shame on the management of RISE for charging $50 cover on Pride Weekend.
What a nerve. They owe the gay community an apology.

The best Boston has to offer for a Saturday night. The staff is friendly. A must see for after the regular clubs close.

Best sound systems, best lighting, best music. Best DJs.
They bring in djs from all over the world. There is always a wide range of people because they are 18+ and do not serve alcohol.
It seems to be getting much more gay on saturdays now and that ok with me. Oh and the place is really clean which I like.
It doesnt smell like a frat party..

Go to Rise with an open mind and enjoy the music. This is the purpose of this place. I'm from Chicago and never miss Rise when I am in Boston.
