Fun place to go for live music. Not a classy place, but good cover bands in the summer.

The Marquee House is a beautiful dance club that opened in late August in place of the old Mojitos…read moreCountry Club. There's a terrible dearth of dance clubs in suburban Boston and Marquee is trying to fill the gap. Fridays are Latin nights and Saturdays are what they call "Old School R&B, Hip Hop & Reggae". I'll describe Saturdays below as I've not been to any Latin nights. The club consists of three areas. First, there's a lower room where older (70s/80s/90s) dance music is played. The DJ is good and the room is nicely laid out with some cushy seating, stand-up tables, and a rather long bar. There's plenty of room for dancing. The crowd trends towards older (which includes me!). It wasn't a large crowd tonight; I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Second, there's the main club, which is much larger and much more crowded. There, we have an excellent DJ mixing newer music, e.g. 2000s and on with a few older songs. It's louder and he produces a nice steady R&B dance groove most of the night, omitting the slow dreary hip-hop that has emerged the past decade or so. There are two bars and the place is well-decorated and looks fairly modern. Clearly, a lot of thought was put into how to transform it from whatever it used to look like. The crowd consists of a nice mix of ethnic groups (black, white, & Hispanic), with everyone feeling comfortable and enjoying themselves. The third is what they refer to as the Lounge, which is the section you pass through before you go to either of the clubs I described above. It has a bar, some dancing, and places to sit. It's a good place to go if either of the main rooms are too crowded. They serve some food (pizza, wings, warm doughnuts) there also before the other rooms open at 9:00. The crowd was well-behaved with no one overdoing the drinking and the Creepy Guy count was quite low so women should be happy. There's plenty of parking and there's also a police presence but they had nothing to do and just strolled around. The staff is very nice--a number of them used to work at the old Vincent's down the street. Overall, Marquee is an excellent place for people to dance & socialize without having to go into the city. It may need a little polishing here and there but that will probably be taken care of later. I think it's time for people to get out from behind their computers & tablets and try to actually meet and mingle a bit. Marquee would be a good place to start.

Pearl Street, you have found a way to ruin the Hold Steady. I'm not even mad, I'm amazed…read more Stuffy, overpriced beer (cheapest beer a $5.50 bud? methinksnot), TERRIBLE sound and a butt ugly look. I love GA rooms, but Pearl Street is an insult to music venues everywhere

My experience at this venue has more to do with the unacceptable behavior of the crowd, vs. the…read morevenue itself. That being said--I believe the management and security need to take some measures to better ensure the safety of concert goers. I don't mind an exuberant crowd, I enjoy the energy of the shared experience. I don't mind dancing and pogoing up and down or a little crowd surfing so long as nobody kicks me in the face. What I do mind is people that mistake moshing with slam dancing and use it to violently hurt people. It seems to attract a big college crowd, and among them was a faction of young men behaving badly. The men seemed set on improving their line of sight and proximity to the stage by literally slamming themselves into the people in front of them, in some cases knocking them down, while trying to pretend that it was some socially acceptable form of moshing. It was violence pure and simple and aimed at physically bullying people that had arrived earlier to ensure a good viewing spot. I came away from this concert literally bruised and battered and feeling like I had suffered the kind of whiplash usually experienced in a car accident. I'm a petite five foot tall woman--had I been less physically fit and able to stand my ground, I would have had to have moved off to the dark recesses of this place where I wouldn't have stood a blind man's chance of seeing anything on stage. I had to shove people off of me and brace myself so as not to be knocked to the floor. Repeatedly. Maybe I am used to Boston clubs where security does not allow crowd surfing or moshing. Perhaps concertgoers in the city are just better behaved. The mood on the floor was ugly. I did not feel able to go to the bar for a drink or to visit the rest rooms as I feared I would be unable to make my way back to join the rest of my party. It can't be good for a venues business if patrons are not able to make it to the bar and back. The friend of a girl near us went to the bathroom and was never seen again--unable to make it back through the crowds. I can't say much about the venue. It was so dark and packed with people that I could not see much. The sound quality for the opening band sounded like crap and I feared that would be the case for the headliner, but fortunately it was not. I found no faults with the quality of the sound. The ticket takers and employees that I saw at the front when I entered all seemed like genuine people, friendly and professional. I'd have like to have seen some security inside putting the kibosh on some of the physicality on the floor. I really didn't need guys the size of football linebackers trying to launch me repeatedly. I made it quite clear to them that they were hurting me and they could not have cared less. I have no plans to return to this venue again. I did not feel safe. At all.
