The Alley: Boston's Lively LGBTQ+ Dance Club with Great Drinks

We visited the place on a RuPaul friday nigth, so it was full. There were many kinds of gay tribes and ages, so it's an inclusive and very secure place for everybody. The music was good, and the bartender in the second floor really put a smile in our face with his joyfull actitud. Last Friday, January 9th, at around 1:00 AM, I experienced the highlight of the night at the coat check. I saw the 3 most handsome and tallest men there: the guy working the counter, his tall friend dressed in red, and another friend in white wearing glasses. Even though I’m over 6'4" myself, they were actually taller than me. Seeing the three of them together in that area was easily the best moment of the evening.

Awesome place to get some great pub food and drink. Nice selection of beer on tap as well as some excellent cocktails. Today we just got some appetizers and drinks. Joe was our waiter/ bartender and as always he kept us laughing with his friendly and amusing conversation. I got a bourbon rocks with a Blue Moon on tap. My wife loves the Cosmos at The Alley. We got a dessert to share which was very good. There is street parking available after 6 weeknights and all day Sat and Sun. There’s also a garage above the bar and you can get your ticket validated by your bartender or waiter.

Clean place, friendly bartender (Ivan). Super nice, handsome. Definitely recommend.

First gay bar I've been to in about 23 years. Really looking for dinner after a late show. Pretty entertaining bar with really good karaoke singers. Food was pretty good. Burger would have gotten the 5 star if it weren't for the bun. Not a fan of the cold dense bun. Burger was tasty though. My husband got the nachos, which were pretty. Bar tenders were busy but managed to give good service.

I visited Boston from Houston, Texas. I wanted to try a LGBT bar. I found this bar on Google and had to go. This bar is very intimate. I went during the day, and the bartender was very attentive. It was a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I had two drinks: an espresso martini and a spritz. I would definitely recommend this place for a drink during the day. I would love to see the atmosphere in the evening.

Local gay bar with bar food available. Great service, interesting crowd. Had a great time with friends, probably not the best place to go alone

Everytime I’ve come to the Alley has been great. Friendly staff, reasonably priced and generously poured drinks, and the food is great. Awesome events too! Bouncer even checked on my friend who had a little too much to drink and brought them a water bottle. Thank you Alley!!

Really fun bear bar. Bur nobody would talk to me besides the bar tender. Come on Boston gays - say hi to strangers! If people had been more friendly- would’ve been 5 stars!
