  • The lush life: sugar daddies and their trophies get on down amid red velvet and goth art. Admission on a busy night may depend on how hot you look.

  • The hottest DJ dance club in town designates Saturday nights for twentysomething boyz. Cool off between sets at the mahogany bar or in the martini lounge (see Buzz Party @ Club Europa).

  • Delux Café

    Cheap drinks and an Elvis shrine lend an edge to the trendy scene here. It’s good clean fun for hipster grandchildren of the beatniks (see Delux Café).

  • Live entertainment – jazz, blues, show tunes – creates a nice backdrop for this swank hotel bar.

  • This two-level pioneer drag queen bar features female impersonators on weekdays and edgy rock bands on weekends. Set aside your preconceptions and relax (see Jacque’s).

  • A sleek and sophisticated bar in the front fades into a Euro-trance dance floor in the back. Very popular with the international set (see Pravda 116).

  • This massive two-story dance hall sometimes morphs into a live-performance concert venue for touring acts. High-energy Latin on Thursday, pop rock on Friday, techno on Saturday (see Roxy).

  • A rowdy good time is to be had at this New Orleans by way of Boston dance club, with cheap drinks and a brazen crowd. Live cover bands alternate with a DJ on weekends.

  • Music varies each night of the week, but it’s always the same Prada-Armani-Versace clad crowd. The Art Deco bar makes for a beautiful look.

  • Wally’s Café

    Exhale before you squeeze in the door at Wally’s. This thin, chock-full sliver of a room is one of the best jazz bars in Boston, and has been since 1944.
