Boston's Best Most Stylish Nightclubs

Boston is more well known for its Irish pubs and dive bars than its stylish clubs and dance venues, but the ones the city does have are well worth visiting! Boston's most stylish residents and cocktail lovers can often be found at the following five venues.

The Liberty Hotel is home to six night clubs in one location. The variety of dining, drinking, and dancing options are what really make The Liberty Hotel one of the chicest spots in town. In nice weather, The Yard is a great place to have a casual cocktail. Scampo, located upstairs, is a great dinner option, while Clink and Alibi are where the real fun happens. The Liberty Bar and the Catwalk provide a great escape from the noise, while still giving the option to mix and mingle with other patrons. The Liberty Hotel is one of the city's most popular fashion show venues, so it is no surprise that an evening at The Liberty will always be stylish.

Another great nightclub in Boston is Lolita, located in the Back Bay. Lolita is a tequila bar that features a fabulous margarita menu. The dimly lit club is great for post work cocktails or late night mingling and dancing. For those that dance up an appetite, there is a special late night menu served up to 1:00 am. This trendy spot was recently rated one of the 21 best tequila bars in the United States by Thrillist.

Highball Lounge

The bar is easily adaptable, and can be an ideal destination for casual afterwork drinks and board games, or a great destination to enjoy music and trendy cocktails.

The Brahmin
33 Stanhope St.
Boston, MA 02116

The Brahmin is probably the "danciest" night club on this list. Conveniently located next to the MBTA's Back Bay stop on the Orange Line, this space quickly transforms from a classy restaurant to packed nightclub on Friday and Saturday evenings. There is usually a decent crowd on Thursdays as well, but not necessarily the same dancing crowd you'll find on the weekends. The exposed brick and low lighting give off a 1920's vibe that makes ordering a gin or vodka cocktail feel like the right way to go. The setting is reminiscent of an old private club, and it is easy to see why Boston's most stylish are attracted to this venue.

House of Blues, Boston

House Of Blues
15 Lansdowne St.
Boston, MA 02215
(888) 693-2583

The House of Blues is among Boston's best in music venues and nightclubs. Depending on the night, the House of Blues - lovingly referred to as HoB - easily transitions from a top 40 dance club to a space for rock, hip hop and everything in between. Apart from the main stage, there is also a separate bar called the Foundation Room, that often hosts local DJs and smaller bands. Just a stone's throw from Fenway Park, everyone in Boston is familiar with HoB.
