Rockin' around the Christmas tree....

Revolution Rock Bar – December 18, 2008
Group Size ~ 65

Ambience – Packed with holiday parties and the after-work crowd, the Rock Bar rocked with live music and a DJ. Dancing starts late downstairs, and the place turns into more of a club around 10.

Bottom Line – Our tough waitress defended the private lounge area that management dedicated for us, and brought us tons of drinks and complimentary cheesy pizzas.

Cheers to - Everyone in the holiday spirit, the scandalous dancing downstairs, and Nil for playing Santa. Jeers to - The tight crowd fighting for space, plastic cups, and the mandatory coat check that was forced upon us at club time.

Overall Rating


Ashley says… Too crowded for me and it took a long time to get drinks.

Leslie says… Sounds like a ravishing time and what I wouldn’t’ give to see Nil dressed as Santa…

Jessica says…We had a fabulous night of ABC holiday celebration despite the SUPER croweded, party-filled night we hit RevRockBar. We loved our dedicated waitress, but boo to the bar for not giving us more dedicated space. When it got late and we moved the party downstairs for dancing, the scene got much better.

Quintessential Q

Quincy Market/Ned Devines – December 4, 2008
Group Size ~ 70

Ambience – Upstairs bar area hosted us with a few booths, tables, and space to throw our coats. The music (once turned up) was fun-inducing, along with the closeness of our group.

Bottom Line – Explosive nachos were seen on a lot of tables, and drink selection was typical.

Cheers to -The quiz. Acceptance of the Q-theme stretch by our members. Q-tips. New members from the Herald article. Jeers to -No dancing in the back room.

Overall Rating


Ashley says... A lot of space to hang out and bartenders were always available!

Leslie says… We had a larger group that evening and the layout of the bar and tables made it easy to mingle and chat with friends.

Jessica says…Wow, what happened to make Leslie and Ashley’s reviews so calm? We had a great time and truly took over Ned Devine’s with a huge crowd. It would have been great to have access to a private room, and also to have the staff seem prepared for our group. Great atmosphere and a really comfortable and convenient place to meet up on a Thursday.

Publican's Dream

People’s Republik – November 13, 2008
Group Size ~ 40

Ambience – Pinkos are welcome at this themed bar with all the usual offerings. Dartboards flank the center bar and hot dogs are available but give the bartender at least 20 minutes to plug in the warmer.

Bottom Line – Cheap fried food and pretty inexpensive beer= happiness for all.

Cheers to - SO many new people including Mountaineers, lady friends, and “meet up” buddies. Jeers to - Sarah leaving her laptop behind.

Overall Rating


Ashley says…I can’t believe I missed two ABCs in a row, but Indiana was calling my name…

Leslie says…I’m always a huge fan of any bar with a dart board and wrap around bar. Throw in the cheap apps and great beer and I’m sold. Definitely a great place to belly up at the bar and catch up with a few friends.

Jessica says… Props to P.R. for serving hot dogs. Special shout out to new friends that joined ABC at P!

Bonus- The Field
Group size- 10

Jessica says… Sometimes the party keeps going. Especially when you can stroll down the street to a great pub like the Field. They welcomed us with open arms, Guiness, and a few Brazilian buddies.

Owls and Other Spooky Stuff

Our House East – October 30, 2008
Group Size ~ 25

Ambience – Gritty college bar with lots of space for groups. They try to keep it lively with tvs, Rock Band gaming, and three bar areas.

Bottom Line – Drinks are fittingly cheap and pub grub is greasy and delicious.

Cheers to -The wacko DJ and his shout outs. Members coming in hats to fit the Halloween theme. Great service across the board.

Overall Rating


Ashley says…As much as I would have loved to have enjoyed all the goodness Our House East had to offer, I was enjoying all the goodness the Bahamas had to offer...

Leslie says… LOVED the club’s enthusiasm with the Halloween-themed crazy hat evening at Our House East, and I’m sure the bartender did too. The back room was all ours and with the spacious bar, it was really nice to not have to elbow people to get a drink.

Jessica says… Sweetened by my honey’s first appearance at ABC Club, Our House was a chill night out filled with tons of candy too!

Naturally Chic

Noir – October 16, 2008
Group Size ~ 60

Ambience – Nestled inside the Charles Hotel, Noir was as advertised—dim. Management accommodated the Club with private tables and VIP treatment.

Bottom Line – Awesome happy hour menu with items ranging $1-5. The orgasmic chocolate cookies and crispy pancetta pizza left us super satiated. Nice wine and cocktail list.

Cheers to - The Herald for featuring our crazy club that evening. Waiters with their shiz together. The roll out of the big screen for the Sox playoff game. Jeers to - Typical Boston weather for not allowing us to enjoy the roomy patio.

Overall Rating

Ashley says… Great bar food, really strong and tasty cocktails. I want to go back when it’s warmer because the outdoor patio looks like so much fun!

Leslie says… Great ambiance, drinks and food. Our group was treated like VIPS and the waiter staff was on top of their game. Even better was the wall sized full-screen that magically appeared just in time for the Sox game! Woo Hoo!

Jessica says… I felt like a true celebrity with VIP signage, treatment, and even a press interview! Awesome 5-4-3-2-1 specials got me ready for a long night out!

BONUS- Redline
Group size ~ 4

Overall rating

Leslie says… Four of us diehards continued the party at Redline. This Harvard Square eatery turns into Dance Party USA later in the evening and those interested in shaking their booties need to frequent this joint. I haven’t jammed to Bobby Brown and other early 90s favorites, since Jesus was a baby. GREAT times!
