Template:Dance Club Probably the most fashionable club in Boston, Aria is easy to spot: just look for a long line of scantily-clad patrons trailing down the sidewalk outside the Wilbur Theatre. Decadence abounds here, with an overtly chic crowd and enough plush velvet to make Hugh Hefner jealous. Sample a drink from one of Aria's 3 bars while watching the beautiful Aria Angels dance the night away on small tables bordering the outer perimeter of the room. The DJ supplies pumping house and techno beats that will keep you dancing long after the angels have shed their wings. The themes range from ”Fashion House” Th to (appropriately enough) “Vanity” on F. Round the weekend off with some hip-hop on “Scandalous Sunday.” Very strict dress code: jacket and dress shirt for guys. Cover $15-20.

The Estate is an elegant and multi level entertainment venue for those who are looking for the sort of polished elegant atmosphere one might find in a place such as New York. The venue has been beautifully renovated by the R. L. Palmer Design group and with a new philosophy for service and quality our goal is to exceed expectations on every level. With traditional nightclub lighting, elegant full-length mirrors and a twisting arrangement of intimate seating areas The Estate has established itself as Boston’s ultimate nighttime destination. Venturing in to the Alley you are bound to bump into the crowds of people in front of the Estate. If you are one of the lucky ones to get in you’ll find a bumpin' dance floor, under a roof of opulent chandeliers, surrounded by luscious leather couches. The new Victorian design, by RL Palmer, is a far cry from its old roots of mardi gras’ inspired the Big Easy. Instead, you’ll find a hip, stylish crowd looking to have a great time in the biggest club in the Alley. Don’t be intimidated by the star DJs, and celebrity guests that just happen to be best friends with the owners. You may even be asked to come up to the VIP section to help celebrate the World Series with the Red Sox. The VIP scene here is on the down low – as it should be – since there is no reason to taut a VIP party if its REALLY VIP. Each night at The Estate has a different theme. For instance world class house music DJs are flown in on Friday nights. The club's Thursday night party, called the Glamorous Life, has emerged as Boston's leading purveyor of gay hip-hop.

Template:Dance Club Vying for the ultimate beautiful people scene in Boston, Venu features pricey drinks, big-name DJs, and a crowd that really likes to dance. Choosy bouncers make getting in a hit-or-miss proposition; it helps to be (or be with) a supermodel. Whether you prefer to steal the spotlight on the dance floor or recline with your best pouty look on the surrounding sofas, Venu is a scene that could keep you busy all night long. International night on F, Latin Sa, Brazilian Su (19+), New York House Th. No jeans or sneakers; jacket required for men on Euro House Tu and F. Cover $10-20.

Template:Dance Club One of the 4 nightclubs to make up the Roxy Complex, the Matrix features a retro interior with a cyber edge (a.k.a. green laser lighting). The resulting flashy techno scene would make the nerdy Wachowski brothers feel comfortably at ease, if only it were devoid of human life forms as well. But don't look for the likes of Neo or Trinity here—considering Matrix's predominantly unpretentious college-aged clientele, you'd be better off flaunting your new Versace leather pants at Caprice (also part of the whole Roxy package). Music tends to be top-40, with a little disco, house, and latin (Sa) added to the mix. Cover $5-10, which grants you access to all 4 clubs (Matrix, Roxy, Caprice, and Encore).

Template:Dance Club The Roxy may once have been the haunt of the well-heeled college crowd. Those days, if ever they existed, are now over. Hordes of post-college men and women throng the outfit on weekends to groove to surprisingly monotonous house and techno music. Most of them are desperate for social contact, almost frighteningly so. If you still insist on rocking with the has-beens, remember that jeans will make you stick out like a sore thumb. The Roxy attempts College Nights on F, and the average age of the crowd may drop a couple of years, but the drinks are still expensive ($8 for a standard mixer) and the cover is steep ($15-20, check website for specials). The website lists a schedule of occasional live concerts. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. The Roxy is the main location of the Boston Marathon® Post-race Dance Party. Features dancing at a number of Boston's nightclubs and video highlights of the race.
