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.

Template:Dance Club “Dress to be envied,” is the mantra here. Basic black is considered a faux-pas, and wild colors are definitely encouraged. A favorite amongst the Financial crowd, the club also attracts a smattering of college kids bored of the Lansdowne scene. Choose between the mellow club room, furnished with couches and a pool table, or the more action-packed dance floor complete with a full-length bar. Music is Top-40 and '80s. No hats, sneakers, or ripped jeans. Cover $5. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

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.

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.
