The people who brought you The Big Easy mardi-gras party in The Alley for a decade, have opened a new joint called The Quarter on Lansdowne street where Embassy/The Modern were located. Outdoor balcony, beads,confetti, the best cover bands and party djs will be featured nightly at The Quarter.... http://www.thequarterboston.com
Downstairs from The Quarter is Rocket Bar, with mash up rock DJ's and rock cover bands playing the best alternative and classic rock of all time. http://www.rocketbarboston.com
You better check these 2 bars out soon though, because both will be closed by the end of summer to make way for a completely new Lansdowne Street. Avalon & Axis will soon become one mega-complex with an additional 2 restaurants. Read more about it here:
The Hard Rock Café Boston opened its doors Clinton Street on July 2nd at the former RACK loaction. It also took over the adjacent and long-vacant Uno’s Chicago Grill. The new Hard Rock has16,000-plus square feet of space and is expected to book bands on a more regular basis and on a larger scale. A press release from the Hard Rock International said it is a 400-seat restaurant and a live-music area.
With the Rack’s lease up, Barclay says, “We had options to renew and did battle over it” with the landlord, with whom he settled a lawsuit on December 27. Barclay says he had planned to close the Rack after New Year’s Eve, spend $4 million on renovations, and reopen the space without pool tables in March, emphasizing a “high-tech, Cirque du Soleil” feeling. Barclay has no doubt that his new club — named, but kept a secret — will open, likely this fall.
Sadly, I regret to inform you that The Big Cheesy, I mean, The Big Easy has closed its doors and has been renovated to become Mansion Bar, reminiscent of such carpeted Vegas luxuries as Foundation Room. Granted, for its launch party, the former Playboy Bunny turned Sexpert, Pussycat Dolls wannabes, and Lingerie Fashion Show dragged out of the suburbs all the to-be-expected partygoers who enjoy that sort of thing, however, set that aside, Mansion, like the renovated Suite, is transforming Boston's formerly grungy Alley into a place I'm not so ashamed to be spotted near. www.mansionboston.com
Located in a sort of no man's land between the Financial District and the waterfront, Vintage Lounge doubles as a stylish nightlife destination and upscale-casual spot for lunch or dinner. The lighting's kept dim, and the after-work crowds unwind on leather stools and a cream-colored sofa. Flat-screen TVs hover behind the bars, where designer martinis are shaken and stirred.
Boston's sexiest rock bar, pays tribute to all things rock & roll. This Multi-level venue offers a bar, lounge, restaurant and multiple entertainment options. With music ranging from Alternative Rock to Classic and Punk Rock, Revolution offers live music three nights a week with a DJ's spinning in between.
