    Cold! Confusing! Charming! Clandestine!…read more We drove up to Rascals for the Hell's Belles Classic Rock Burlesque Show. Trying to find the venue felt like a fever dream - the inside of the building leading up to Rascals was just a maze of basement backrooms with barely ANY signage. It was very bizarre. When we finally found the actual entrance to Rascals we felt so accomplished. The cover was cash only, but they had an ATM right there. The space is BIG. I can see why it's such a popular venue for line dancing. So much room for activities! We got a drink & some change to tip the performers from the very sweet bartender & found a high top table near the back of the audience space so that we could have a good line of sight to the stage. It didn't take long for us to become chilly. It felt like it was 62 ish degrees inside, & since it's a basement venue with no windows, this felt really cold. Bring layers! Despite the crowd being a bit more subdued than what we're used to, the show still knocked our socks off. The acoustics were well balanced, the space allowed the performers to be creative, & you could see the stage from almost anywhere in the venue. I would definitely come back to Rascals for a special occasion, or maybe even to try their beginner line dancing classes, but I'd remember to dress warmly.

    1st time there . What a great place to see a band . FREE parking right across the street makes it…read moresuper easy . And it's nice having the poo hall / bar next door so if you get there early you got a place for a drink or food . The venue was big, clean, bathrooms were ok, waitresses were quick to make a drink . Zero complaints. Reasonable for a night out .

    Want to step back in time a bit for some good clean fun and you want something around the…read moreBelmont/Arlington/Cambridge/Watertown/Medford area? Swing City might help you with that. The dances are usually held at the West Cambridge Youth Center on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Saturdays of each month. While there's street parking, the golf course across the street has a lot that you can sneak into. The dance hall is pretty sizable and it's clean. The floors aren't crappy and there aren't any loose boards. The facilities are fine and shouldn't have to resort to carrying a bottle purell. The music is old school, undoubtedly. Hey, if you were looking for something more updated, you'd be heading to the club, yeah? There's a live band and when they take breaks, there's recorded music to keep things going. It's a good workout and can be a lot of fun. People there are generally friendly and some will dance with you if you're alone. I didn't spot any creepers. Checking-in on Yelp will yield you a free drink. They have sodas, water, and juices. There are workshops and swing dance lessons before open dance period, if you're in need to not embarrass yourself in front of your date.

    I went with a group of friends from church my first time and was hooked! My face hurt from smiling…read moreall night (it's true!) I had slipped back to the Roaring '20s with wonderful live music, youth, and energy! I didn't know places like this existed. Everyone danced! Half way through the night, guys were in the bathroom changing into clean dry shirts -- then back on the dance floor! It was just so fun! I came back the next week and took the free lessons again and got better. I had a blast! The next week, I brought a first date promising her a fun night of dancing. We had so much fun at the lessons together and then dancing to the amazing band, Eight To The Bar! About 2 years later, that sweet girl and I were married. I am so glad the memory of our first date will always be Swing City! Just go. You'll laugh, you'll smile, and you'll dance. Everyone does at Swing City.
