I wish I could give 0 stars. My friends and I paid over $100 for an entry ticket for nye (ahead of time too...NOT last minute). I get that it gets wild for this holiday but its COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE to pay for a ticket and STILL WAIT IN LINE for an hour and a half....like you sell tickets to capacity so there should be ZERO LINE. AND to begin with this pathetic excuse for a "club/bar/restaurant" is clarified as 2 stars.... you try to give a place a chance and you're disappointed. Pathetic excuse for a "fun place". be better. I will never come here again or recommended it to people. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. read more

The venue itself is great and whoever handles bookings is amazing because the talent they bring in is excellent. Their security staff... they could use a little training. I bought a ticket in advance to see a show. At one point I went outside to the designated smoking area to grab a smoke. During that smoke break a security guy asked if I had a stamp. I did not. Why? Because one wasn't offered as I went out and the smoking area was cordoned off so that only people who had been in the club could access it. Upon my response the security person told me I had to leave the smoking area and escorted me out. I explained I had a ticket but he didn't care. Upon attempting to renter I was told my ticket had already been scanned (duh, when I first arrived) and that a ticket could only be scanned once. I was denied re-entry to the club which had happily accepted my $70 for two tickets when I bought them. read more

I didn't know much about Bijou before I actually went there for the first time, I had a pretty good feeling about the place. My guess is that the owners of Bijou don't stress how important customer service is to the staff, it is a group of COMPLETE morons. So as I am greeted at the door (3 bouncers, dressed professionally, attentive) I am pointed over to the girl who collects my door charge fee in exchange for a ticket I give to the guy on the stairs. She is texting/having a non work related conversation, and I dont care what they do, BUT WHEN SOMEBODY IS PAYING 30 DOLLARS to come in, PAY ATTENTION. Anyways, great bartenders. Fast, attentive, remembered what i was drinking. Music was great, dancing was fun. now when I heard about this place I read words like lounge and classy, nobody told me there would be kids dancing on the couch tops with sunglasses on, and it is exactly that place. filled with trouble making d bags. The Security staff has ZERO control over the crowd. (ie people throwing drinks and starting fights and not getting pulled out) It got to the point where i needed to find a staff member who actually could have this situation taken care of, I was told to speak to a man named Dimitry, either the gm or mod, either way. he never showed up to talk to me and just blew me off. I understand that running a club is hard and im sure 300 ppl a night want to complain, but again, customer service. So in summary, this club is the new Roxy (for those who dont know it) just another ghetto shit hole. Hire some people who are actually trained to work in a club. read more

If I could give this place negative starts I would! My friends were all inside and had a table and they wouldn't let me in. It wasn't even 12 and they just pushed everyone off the curb outside and told us to go home. Would never go back if they paid me. read more

I've been here a few times and it's far from the most "prestigious" club in the city. There are other options like Whiskey Saigon or Candy Bar, based on what you're looking for. All the times I've been with my friends and I, the bouncers think they're awesome when they just stand there and check IDs, and think they are in the FBI. Last time one of the bouncers repeated himself about a million times. Like I didn't hear you the first time? Relax. We've also come across the occasional rude bartender. But if you want a tip, shouldn't you have good client service skills? read more

Bijou Gold: Their music is great. That's it. Twice they have screwed up our experience with table service. Most recently we went out for a buddies birthday. We had to wait outside in the cold even though we had a table, they had us pay at the table before the bottle got there when it was already late into the night, and once we did pay it took forever to get our bottles to the table. The other time, also a birthday, we chose to go through Tablelist (a great app and service by the way) for our table. Bijou Gold didn't honor our table comps and made a few of our friends pay the cover. I will never be going back to the Gold room. They seriously need to retune their guest experience and improve upon customer service. Not how you run a "top" Boston night club. read more

This is specifically about the Goldroom. Worst management/staff in the country. Bought a table last night and they treated us like absolute dirt. Not saying we're royalty but when your spending about $1000 at a place, you think they'd care...NOPE. Bouncers think they're curing cancer and acting like this is the biggest club in Boston. Not to mention 1. Threatened to send us back outside to check IDs (in the rain) 2. Said they would bring down the manager/owner after we requested, never came. 3. Embarrassed my whole group of friends and told us to leave if we didn't like their rules. (Trust me I would have if we DIDN'T ALREADY GET A TABLE) Never wrote a yelp review but what happened last night was the worst experience I've had at a club. Bottom line, very rude, unprofessional, self centered group over there. read more

Paid $34 to see the DJ last night and another $30 on a couple drinks. The staff is pathetic and it's pretty much a sausage fest. Extremely attractive but extremely rude bartenders. Bouncers on a power trip. They kicked me out early with NO explanation. Thanks for taking my money and treating me like shit. read more

DON'T go there! They STOLE your things at coat check! I lost my AirPods which had been safe in my pocket. And they refused to admit that. Other customers complained about that too, but nothing changed. read more

PLEASE READ!! If you come here DO NOT use your card!!! bring cash, and if you do use your card, check your bank statement regularly. I went there for the Halloween event this a few nights ago and they ran my card twice, and won't refund it back. This was for two separate 14$ charges on my card, whatever. THEN today (2 days after the two initial 14 charges were pending) it was changed to 16 dollars. So basically they swiped my card then went back and changed the amount 2 days later. Fucking frauds read more

Went with a large group, a girl and her friends crowded our table and started fighting my friends on the dance floor. They proceeded to come across the room to the table and start trying to fight with us. Security finally stepped in, I was getting more drinks, come back to be thrown out with one Black female security guard ignoring all the people in our group and taking the instigators side. Proceeded to remove me and incorrect people, and then allow the woman who was throwing drinks, slapping people, putting fingers in people's faces and mouths was allowed to stay. When asked for a manager, the security guard attempted to get hostile, had to reach out to another then was finally given a manager who apologized and said the nights almost over and he would speak to the security woman. Not friendly to people of color, not transparent, and not honest. will not return. read more

Terrible experience. They try too hard to be a cool place...when they are not!!! This place is a rip off - admission (30$ to get in) and drinks (15$ on average). The place is so not worth it...Go elsewhere for a good time!!! It is small, crowd is mediocre, music is way too old for a club. For guys you have to wear long sleeve shirts ....really? You can not go outside before certain time.....really? First and last time.... read more

My friend and I had the worst club experience we've ever had at Bijou - it's not worth the time or ridiculous amount of money it costs. I slipped on ice outside, explained that I have a muscular condition (all true), and they told me I was too drunk and wouldn't let me in even after asking me several questions I answered correctly. Finally they told us to go get a bite to eat and come back, so we do. Half an hour later, we wait in what seemed like the same line but end up on the upper level where we both have to pay $30 to get in and $10 to check our coats. After clubbing in London, I can tell you this pricing is utterly ridiculous. Downstairs, our friends are trying to get up and a bouncer denies them entrance and claims there isn't anything upstairs. So, we leave and get back in a different line for the lower level. We explain what happened to several people who tell us they can't do anything about a refund. Fine, we're ready to pay again but when we get to the front of the line, they told us we can't get in. They call out a manager and he now tells my very sober friend that she's too drunk to be allowed in. Basically, they ruined my birthday. read more

No cover on the night I went. I couldn't get in because I arrived at 1:30am. I think they could've let me in if they really wanted to. My party inside said they had fun. Wish I knew the feeling. read more

Lame ass club. Music sucks. And it's empty. Staff is rude and only caters to promoters/bouncers friends. So if your not best buds with the promoters don't waste your time or money. read more

Wish I could give no stars... Someone else wrote that management e-mailed them and stated that their "success" doesn't depend on Yelp.. True it doesn't just depend on yelp, but if people look at your shit rating and terrible reviews they wont come here.. Anyhow.. This place sucks, no one else in Boston charges $30 to get in. I can go to Ocean Club for less then that and see world class DJ's from around the World in an out door environment along with 3000 people and you think I want to pay $30 to walk into your hole in the wall? There is nothing special about the decor inside, the bouncer or manager or whoever the douche bag is running the line outside are the most rude and obnoxious people I have ever dealt with. He takes his job way too serious and thinks he can talk to people how ever he wants. The music is nothing above average and the price of drinks are above average.. On top of the cover charge that is wayyyy above average, the people that actually pay the $30 to get in are all morons, it's people like you that let clubs/management like this continue to run a night club and allow them to charge people whatever they want becasue you continue on giving them business.. This club will fail, its a disgrace to the Boston scene and the management is a joke. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is absolutely horrible. Rude bouncers and the lines were so unorganized. My friend who has a disability was not allowed into the club because they insisted that she was too drunk. They told us to go get some food and come back later which we did and they proceeded to push us upstairs where it was $30 per person for entry. Once we get there, we are told we have to go use the other entry to meet up with our friends because while both places were Bijou, they had different rooms. This was after we stood in the SAME line that we had an hour prior, so I don't know how they changed access to rooms within an hour. So we leave immediately again and get in line for the other room and after another thirty minutes, they tell us that they won't let us in. "You told us your friend had drinks prior so it's MA law that we not let someone into a place where they have access to more alcohol". My friend had told them she had two drinks an hour before we got there, and was he really telling us no one else there was drunk? There were plenty of people drunk and even smoking and vaping who had been let in. And they were STILL ignoring the fact that my friend had a disability. We were both over 21 and had friends inside. So then suddenly now the guy tells me that my friend seems fine but that I am too drunk to be able to enter (I have not had any drinks at all). I definitely feel like higher motives were at play for not letting us in. But overall either way, this place is a rip off. They're all scamming everyone and not even working hard to hide it. Absolutely awful, never go here. read more

Was told by a bouncer that my friend and I could not get in unless we brought a table or we had to be on the guest list. I have lived here all my life and been to numerous of clubs and this is the first time EVER hearing a stupid rule such as theirs. They are going to lose a lot of business if this the case every night. What if I'm just out to have fun? So I have to pay 300 + dollars to have a good time? Goodbye! There are numerous of nightclubs surrounding the area what makes this one so "special" with the nasty attitudes of the bouncers saying we cannot stand on the side walk near their club either. This is not the red carpet it's not that serious. read more

Worst DJ i have ever come across, no taste in music, place is crawling with 100 bouncers and terrible lay out no dance floor and very expensive drinks and very watery..... Would never go back read more

Bijou is absolute TRASH. Front entrance girls are rude. Two floors two covers. The club was dead inside. Go to royale or venue

Extremely loud, they frisk you to get in, and they had a massive line despite it being empty inside. The drinks were expensive, too.

Terrible, terrible place to go. I've been to many clubs and I have been listening to good EDM/Dance music for over a decade, I'm 31. I enjoy hot girls as much as the next guy but that's all this place has to offer... other than that, it's hell on Earth. There are PLENTY of hot girls (or guys if that's what you're into) at other places that are cheaper and you don't get treated like dirt. Trust me, don't go here. Just don't. read more

If you crave your shot of UMF type music, this is the place to be going to! Everyone in a stunning mood, music pumping, age range pretty much mid-late 20's with plennnty of 30-somethings which is fantastic! If you don't appreciate the young crowd and looking for something a little more classy, I'd say you have found your SPOT! The place looks amazing inside too with LED lights hanging from the ceiling:-) You step in here and you step into THE MOOOD!!!! read more

I am so happy Boston finally opened a club like Bijou. Its been years since I've had that much fun out in Boston! The vibe is very similar to some of the best NYC clubs. I think they only hire sexy people to work there because every bouncer and especially the bartenders were incredibly sexy. The crowd wasn't so bad either ;) Not sure who DJ's there but the music was absolutely perfect. My whole crew had an amazing time and we are looking forward to going back. BIJOU IS CURRENTLY THE SICKEST NIGHTCLUB IN BOSTON!!! read more

I got a table and paid 6k. On 1/7/2016. At the end of the night , I was leaving when a female African America bouncer "thought" I had a bottle in my hand . I told her I didn't , I let her search me and she found nothing on me. At that point , she got mad & pushed me against the wall and tried to attack me . As other bouncers came over to the scene , the African American bouncer still tried to attack me and Fight me . I told the manager and he did nothing at that point. This club is horrible . Don't spend your money here because people that work here will attack you for no reason. They are very aggressive and regardless of how much money you spend here , they don't respect you . read more

Went for NYE 15 and it was a bit of a ratchet experience. The crowd was sloppy and spilling drinks all over the floor. While this is expected on a night like NYE, I'm disappointed in Bijou's lack in even attempting to mop or clean throughout the night. The floors were completely soaked and created a dangerous environment for all. I slipped in a puddle by the bar and got completely soaked in spilt liquor, ruined my dress and badly bruised my elbow and knees in addition to being mortified for the rest of the night. I saw many others fall in that same puddle or others throughout the club. A random girl then threw up in the middle of the floor and it splattered onto my legs. I waited about 20 minutes and never saw someone come to clean it up so at that point I chose to leave the club disgusted in what I had seen. I've been to many nightclubs in NYC, Miami and Vegas in which the moment a drink spills, a worker is cleaning it up as the club would be liable for any severe injuries. Overall, Bijou needs to step their game and professionalism up. They charge people a lot of $ to buy a ticket ahead of time, yet there was no separate lines for ticket holders. We still waited 45 minutes in the cold with people who didn't have tickets, so what did we buy a ticket for? The coat check was also disorganized which is such a simple thing to tighten up. This night at Bijou definitely tainted my Boston nightclub experience and probably will not go back again. read more

First off, I think there are actually two dance rooms: one for the club sounds (probably top 40 and hip hop) and the other for house music. I've only been there for the latter. Bijou suffers from the standard Boston club narcissism in which it tries to suck as much money out of its clientele as possible and refusing to reinvest some of it into a quality experience. First of all the price of drinks is ridiculous even for Boston standards. Every one in my group noticed how weak the drinks were. WHAT A SCAM. The space is small which is not a bad thing per se. But WHY are so many "VIP" table taking up the precious dancing space? The waitresses serving these tables have literally zero interest in being there. This may be Bijou's biggest problem. Pros? Well the sound system is very good, may even best in Boson It brings in very good DJs, especially from the more underground scene I like how it doesn't use too many club gimmicks and gives it a proper rave feel. You should be there for good house music, that's all Conclusion: I will only go there if I'm in to the house DJ spinning that night. And I will never waste my money on drinks here. read more

Got out at 11:30 and one hour later club is still dead. Would not recommend to anyone trying to have fun or dance.

Worst spot ever! Staff was terrible the minute we got there! Music was awful, the coat check tried to steal one of our jackets and the manager tried to fight me when I asked for service! $25 wasted read more

Extremely rude. Have no respect for their customers and also it's a stupid club with terrible music. DONT GO!! GO HOME INSTEAD. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

This nightclub provided the worst service I have ever experienced. I came with a group of people in a party bus and we have already had our tickets for the entrance and had paid for a VIP and they denied us access into the club because they "don't affiliate with party buses" then started to say we had too many people. Thennnn when they realized they were ALL WRONG they gave a half ass apology. In the end the staff was horrible and the security was very rude. Horrible Horrible horrible. I will never recommend ANYONE to go there. I'll recommend Venu nightclub in Boston MA instead. read more

I planned my girlfriend's 21st birthday at Bijou on 7/15/2016 and had a blast! I initially was introduced to One of their promoters, Daunte, who was extremely easy to work with! After we spoke about the night and what I wanted for the party (how many tables, VIP, bottles, etc) he continuously followed up with me to make sure everything was okay. He then introduced me to the Gm, Renato, who made the night smoooooooth. He got my party of 25 people in and all together at once. He also helped a few of my friends get in who were running late that night. He got us set up at our two tables in the middle of the venue and introduced me to our bottle girl, Alivia. Alivia was amazing! After they brought over our bottles of champagne and Ciroc, she made sure our entire party had glasses and were okay. She even stayed to entertain and dance with our group! She wasn't pushy and didn't make me feel pressured to buy anymore and she checked in with me often to make sure the party was having a good time. Renato also checked in with me every so often to make sure it was okay! The whole night went wayyyyy better than I could've ever thought. Huge shout out to Daunte, Renato, Alivia and all of the staff! They definitely made it a night to remember for sure! I'd definitely recommend working with Daunte and requesting Alivia if she's available!! read more

This place sucks. I paid $60 for a ticket and the drinks were extremely over priced. I paid $15 for 1 drink. She told me that wasn't enough so I gave her my card and she charged me another $20. This place is a scam and is ridiculous. Do not waste your time or money. read more

Came here for new years eve with my friends after we bought 80 dollar tickets a few weeks before. We showed up and had to stand in line for an hour and a half in the rain. When we got to the front the bouncers said we all had to get out of line because there was no more room in the club. There were people in line who paid money out of their pockets that all got screwed over. This is the worst club ive ever been too. DO NOT COME HERE EVER. Place deserves to go out of business asap. read more

Do NOT let the low rating influence your decision, the people who write the low ratings DO NOT belong at this type of venue. Yes it is expensive unless you're on a list. Yes the drinks are expensive however you get what you pay for. Starters, the bouncer are really professional and organized. I believe I fit the mold of an ideal patron of this place and was treated well....if you happen to show up looking like you belong at PF changs and dollar shots-you will probably get stares.....Anyways, the music is great, great acoustics, the servers are beautiful...the bartenders are perfect 10s and the table girls have the perfect build.....great eye candy. Also, I like to people watch when going out, its a great place to watch other patrons go nuts....I would give this a shot, not a Boston club by any means....Ill add this to my list of "go to" spots. read more

Music very load, front door attendants thought they worked for the CIA. Not worth spending a penny there, how they are open blows my mind.

Paid 40 for NYE tickets, waited in line for an hour in pouring rain, never got in to club. Total scam. Don't waste your money.

Worst place I've ever been to.... got tix for New Years a month ahead of time and stood in the pouring rain for an hour before they told everyone in line that we couldn't get in. How could an establishment sell tickets overpriced and then not let over 100 people who bought tickets in. I get that there's a capacity but how do you oversell or just not let people in? Makes no sense. Wish I could give zero stars read more

Incredible sound system with incredible dj's!! You won't want to leave...that is if you get in. My friends and I like to go to the Onyx room at Bijou to dance to some great music (rare find in Boston). We've never had a problem walking in, but I know way too many people who had no luck even coming early in the evening. Definitely don't go with the intention of meeting up with friends because it probably won't happen. Also we've noticed he crowd has been changing into a younger crowd. Hopefully that will change over the summer when the college kids go home. read more

I understand the poor reviews. This is a night club that fancies itself much higher end than it really is. I bought my ticket to see a particular DJ months in advance and had never even heard of this place. First off, I'm not a "bottle service" club kinda person, I thought that insanity was kept in Miami and Vegas. I don't like clubs where the men are nasty and desperate and stand there like robots on the dance floor zeroing in on women who are alone, or all the women in the club are wearing heels and bandage dresses. I was here to see one of my favorite DJs. So I shoved my way to the front and danced all night. It was great in that regard. There were some dudes that had to be shoved away, but for the most part it was fine. The bouncers are kinda a buzzkill. It's not fun to be stared down by some 200lb dude in a suit with a secret service ear piece when you're just trying to dance. The coat check is a joke, they tried to charge me double cause I had a winter coat and a little jacket and don't seem to understand the concept of one hanger one price. Don't buy drinks here, they're really expensive, and if you do pay in cash so the bartenders don't try and rob you. The crowd was a mix between people who came out for the DJ, and people who clearly go there all the time and don't care who's on deck. The regulars were gross. They're really entitled and rapey, both the men and the women. I would say if there's gonna be a DJ you really wanna see playing here, go for it. Don't let the poor reviews hold you back. If you're just looking to go dancing on a Saturday, go elsewhere, this place isn't worth the money. read more
