The Queen's brought audience members on stage for talking portions part of their routines and overall just made the night so much fun. I will say the music is very very loud but I think that is my only downside next time I would bring earplugs lol. The drinks are strong as other reviews have mentioned overall my group had so much fun and it was such a fun way to spend a birthday. I would definitely come back and recommend it to any group that is looking for something fun to do. It is cash only so keep that in mind but they have ATM

And unlike bars in the Boston area, people will even talk to you or dance with you if you aren't too pushy or sexist or arrogant. Two DJs per evening spin their own eclectic mix of funk, hiphop, world, pop, salsa, rock, trance, techno, r&b, swing, reggae, blues, tango, you name it... Amazingly relaxed and non-judgmental, full of serious performing dancers in all styles, mixed with everyday people who just love to dance. Chat, watch some amazingly creative dancing, stretch, boogie by yourself, in groups, or with a partner of any persuasion to a rich variety of music. In response to Derek's comments, If you approach the DJ with a request in the last 20 minutes or so of their set, you may get the response that he got, but many of the DJs are happy to honor requests, especially for birthdays & special occasions, especially with some notice. It really is a welcoming caring community, so yes, if one of the DJs or regulars dies unexpectedly, they will take some time to honor them--but such things only happen every few years. Meetings at the middle are for very brief announcements from anyone in the community, then sometimes a brief live performance, a movement or massage workshop, or just more great dance music. If you really love to dance, you'll love this place. : - )

There is no dress code and no need to dress to impress! It is for adults to just dance in a non judgmental way. You can dance alone by with a partner or with several people no rules except no alcohol and no street shoes. Dance Freedom and Dance Friday (in Brookline) has been around for over 40 years. Web sites dancefriday.org dancefreedom.org where there is a lot more information as well as the DJ Schedule. Oh yes if you have a passion for music they welcome new DJ's.

For 5 bucks, I received a huge ego boost and a greater understanding of why Boston loves to dance! A word to dates: if you come here with a special someone, expect that you and your partner will dance with other people. Don't worry: it's nothing personal! After the lesson, the studio turned into an open dance featuring live music from Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five, an amazing swing band from Philadelphia! The floor was jumping and everyone was having a blast cutting a rug. I personally asked to dance with several people and was surprised to find how gracious and encouraging they were in accepting and subsequently dancing with my square self. The dancers here are very courteous and interested in the improvement of everyone in the club. The snacks and water were provided in copious amounts. The community is strong in this one. I'll be back, Blues Union, and I'll be bringing more people who are interested!

There are many venues to dance at in Boston; Blues Union is the only one I make sure never to miss…read more In the end, it's the community of people that makes Blues Union special. DJs, instructors, people who can bake, and dancers of all skill levels come together to have fun in each others' company for an evening. If you don't know how to dance, or come from out of town and don't know anyone, people will go out their way to dance with you and get to know you. If you're already an experienced dancer, people will recognize that and be happy to explore a shared passion with you.

I don't write restaurant reviews very often, but THIS place deserves one!…read more I happened to show up on gluten-free night, and let me tell you... the pasta was hands-down some of the best pasta I've ever had. You would never guess it was gluten-free. And the desserts?! Absolutely out of this world. Honestly, just go for the pasta and stay for dessert. Or better yet, make a whole evening of it! I'd literally take the train into Boston just to eat here again. That's how good it was. Fun, fabulous, delicious--and definitely going back!

The tables for two people are in awkward spots around the restaurant, there are more seating options for larger groups. There is also a large bar area. The musicians were amazing, played many great hits. They also serenaded everyone celebrating their birthdays by mentioning everyone's names, which was a very nice treat. There was a table next to me that was also celebrating a birthday, they were given a free bottle of champagne. The server we had was also working the bar, he wasn't very friendly and disappeared a lot. The food took long to come out but tasted good.

First time coming to this club and it happened to be Sunday night Comedy night! What a surprise…read more Heard yesterday it was piano night so I thought it would be the same but nope it was a different kind of entertainment. I really do like comedy so tonight's lineup was fun. A lot of good upcoming comedians and I really enjoyed the ambiance. The crowd was a bit stiff but the front row had this ongoing banter that was fun. I would say that the staff that brought out the drinks and food were quite slow. I had to ask several times to get the menu and place my order. Took a long time but since it was a comedy show on a Sunday night and I was on vacation I didn't mind. I really liked my old fashioned drink and my hubby margarita was quite tasty as well and strong. Nice! I did like how this place had a separate pool game area as well as bowling area. Lots to do for a club in Mass Boston. Will definitely be back here again soon next time I visit!

Since there was an earlier show before ours, that meant the two shows were back to back, and we had to first wait for the earlier show to get out. That pushed us back about 40 minutes. The line in the lobby was a wooooorm. Once finally seated, there were 3 openers! All hilarious and entertaining, but that meant the main act didn't even come on until 11:45pm for a 10pm show. The crowd was engaged though! The crowd was high energy, just a pretty late start to it all.

The only time everything was clear was when the comedian inadvertently did not use the mike. The sound with the microphone was booming breathy and distorted. This is not a huge venue.
