Boston: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.

My favorite place to be is the super secluded balcony in the upper right hand corner of Suite, Boston's boutique lounge. Owned by the Kane brothers, Suite is a mini version of its big sister The Estate - the youngest being the better looking. And well, as for looks, Suite is the place to be for the attractive young people of Boston. Its small intimate nooks over look the dance floor but if you look straight ahead you'll catch a glimpse of girls dancing on any elevated free space they can get their hands on. I don't know what it is about this place, but when it comes to the suites letting loose and getting wild with their Euro counterparts then Suite knocks all its competitors out of the game. Don't forget to take a look way up on top, you'll see a hidden DJ both which usually hosts the young talent of Boston who direct the dance floor with their vinyl crowd teasers.

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 her 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.

Somerset Club President Samuel ‘Spike’ Thorne recommends going here "for intellectual debate."

Welcome to Sweetwater Café, where you can “eat 'til 1, drink 'til 2” after you've finished partying at the nearby clubs Big Easy, Sugar Shack, and Boum. This homey bar, with its wood floor and pseudo-nautical decor, is a welcome refuge from pounding beats, dazzling lights, and inexplicably potent drinky-drinks. Bar food specialties: the Blue Burger (burger with blue cheese; $8) and the Sweetwater Tenders (chicken fingers; $7). Pitchers of beer $8+. Live music Th-Sa. No cover.
