Fridays, Hunt Saturdays, and
Sunday Brunch.
Fritz
26 Chandler Street
617-482-4428
www.fritzboston.com
If Boston’s TV bar Cheers existed
in real life and was full of gay guys,
this would be it: a cozy, friendly
neighborhood bar. If you’re looking
for twinks though, keep looking:
the crowd tends to skew a bit more
mature, especially on weeknights.
Ramrod
1254 Boylston Street
617-266-2986
www.ramrod-boston.com
Part of the Machine complex,
Ramrod is known for friendly bartenders
and a sometimes-active
backroom. You’ll need to be in
boots and leather or denim to
check out any potential action,
although beer and pool tables are
available to all.
The Alley
14 Pi Alley (at 275 Washington Street)
617-263-1449
www.thealleybar.com
Boston’s bear bar, nightly events
include a Pool Tournament on
Thursdays, Bear Central on
Saturdays, and Karaoke Sundays.
Eagle
520 Tremont Street
617-542-4494
Every city seems to have one, and
this is exactly what you’d expect:
pool tables, denim and leather, and
cruising. Not pretty or upscale, but
get-down, dirty, and rough—exactly
what you’d expect. If you don’t
mind the occasional grope by an
older leather daddy, the peoplewatching
here is great fun—and the
cheap drinks don’t hurt either.
Jacque’s Cabaret
79 Broadway
617-426-8902
www.jacquescabaret.com
If you like your cocktails with a side of
entertainment, this is your place. The
“ladies” of Jacque’s put on a show 7
nights a week, 365 days a year. Not
strictly gay, Jacque’s is also popular
among the bachelor, bachelorette, and
“straight but not narrow” office crowd
for birthday parties and the like.
28 Degrees
One Appleton Street
617-728-0728
www.28degrees-boston.com
Although not officially a gay bar, when
you add up the campy drinks, Sunday
drag shows, and hot guys sipping cocktails
every night… well, you do the math.
This place is as chic as it gets. Stop in for
a martini before dinner, or stay and enjoy
a great menu of bar food.
WHERE TO DANCE
When it comes to high-energy nightlife,
Chris Harris and partners Raffael Sanchez
and the Gay Mafia have a near monopoly
on Boston, with three major weekly
club events. Check out www.chrisharrispresents.com

EPIC at the Roxy
279 Tremont Street
617-338-7699
www.roxyplex.com
One of Boston’s biggest clubs, the Roxy
goes gay every Saturday night for EPIC,
a killer party from local nightlife promoter
Chris Harris. Check the website for
special events other nights as well.
Underbar
275 Tremont Street
617-292-0080

Another hot party night from Chris
Harris, Hot Mess Sundays are just that—
