Boston’s Theatre District can satisfy anyone’s entertainment needs. In this compact neighborhood you will find everything from retail, nightlife, restaurants and of course the famous theaters. Ritzy nightclubs fly in some of the most world renowned DJs while hosting VIPs on swank white leather couches. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a VIP to enjoy this scene--there's always a packed dance floor at one of the many nightclubs in town including PURE, Rumor, Liquor Store and Felt to name a few.
The neighborhood had reached its peak by the late 1960s but an influx of shopping malls and red-light district activities stole its charm--but not for long. By the mid-'90s public and private developers banded together to revamp the Theatre District by eliminating the strip-club area known as the Combat Zone and restoring the landmark theaters. The result is a new hip, stylish, downtown for late-night scenesters.
Today, this is an ecclectic neighborhood where you will find many of Boston's performing arts venues, such as the Wang Center, Wilbur Theatre, Charles Playhouse, Emerson’s Cutler Majestic Theatre and Colonial Theater. If you want a night to remember, just add to your itinerary one of the many chic restaurants that are known for both their style and scrumptious meals. Over the years, the Theatre District also became the home of nightlife in Boston.
