Club Snub

Horrible experiences time and again here. **Overpriced drinks **Bad food **Arrogant typical Boston Reputation/Stereotype is found here. On the good side, Nice decor, DJ is good and the bartenders are cordial but NOT personable. Go week nights, AVOID Thursday to Saturday. If you want arrogant, wanna-be's, and snobs you have found the place. Its about what you wear, how much you make, and makes L.A/West Hollywood seem like the nicest friendliest place on earth...(which it is not). Forget it if you are alone in town, this is NOT the place to find someone. Most guys wont give you the time of day. However, if you want pretty...and all the bad that goes with it, and the "price" is right!!! come here. You will love it. Also if you are with friends, please come here and see the "worst" Boston has to offer. Thursdays are the worst, and the Friday/Saturday crowd are just plain obnoxious.

The bar gay Bostonians love to trash

This is Boston's busiest gay bar for better or worse. I've had great nights and awful nights here, but it is mostly what you make of it. My favorite feature: texting messages on the video screens in the backroom. Adds a lot of fun to the evening.

Average Video Bar, but Good Music + Good Times

I hung out with the DJ when i went there. The crowd was young and they were energetic. I went with friends so, didn't really find anyone to take home or more so wasn't looking, but they play current music and the DJ is a cool guy!

Don't expect any 'new' connections

Club Café has one thing going for it: lots of cute, young guys. Unfortunately, it has a lot of negatives: Those same cute guys would watch you choke on a martini olive rather than help give a helping hand. It's primarily a South End crowd and believe me they are in their own antiseptic world. It's obvious most are there to 'meet' someone, but no one says Hi out of an unfounded fear of rejection. The majority are there with friends, and branching out of that circle (clique) rarely happens. The drinks are good, the music can be great, but the attitude is so pervasive it's almost sad. Life is hard enough and we'd all do well to remember that.

Club Cafe, its the Boston Gay Standard. At its best and worst, Thirsty Thursdays which is so crowded, you wish you stayed home. If you stay and punk it out, most end up horse from conversation screaming. The DJ & Music videos are fun & whimsy. Go for the eye candy. One unspoken rule to remember: Dykes in the front rooms, guys in the back. I do not know why.
