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.

From Toast Fridays (RIP) back in the day to the current line-up that includes Second Saturdays at Machine, Fourth Fridays at the Milky Way, and the brand-new "Venus Room" (every Friday night at Felt), Dyke Night has become the heart and soul of the Boston-area lesbian & friends community, at least when it comes to nightlife. Dyke Night also regularly teams up with LGBT community groups to host fundraisers, while also giving back to the community in other ways such as through the donation of 25% of its profits to LGBT causes.

The influx of people from all different backgrounds and cultures should be a sign to also add variety to the music being played.

During a recent trip to Beantown, a coworker took me here for an evening out on the town. Slade's was very chill and you could tell was full of usuals who frequent the spot. The menu has plenty of options, service was great especially being a first timer I didn't feel out of place. Known for their chicken wings and other items, the menu has variety and almost feels more soul foodish. Music wise, the jazz band who played that night kept the spot going. Also offering impromptu musicians to join. A great night out in Boston, Slade's is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Don't let anyone tell you different.

We went back that night for the event and had just as good of a time. The drinks were good and the music was great. Really liked this place and would definitely come back!

Club Cafe also has a number of other things it offers, including the Napoleon Cabaret Lounge and the Moonshine nightclub and performance space. There's drag brunches and bingos.
