District

I don't necessarily have an issue with the decor, and since it's dark, you don't really focus on it too much. Maybe it's the location of this place, but I came here on a Saturday night, and it was not very filled, nor did it get packed later on in the night - in fact, it remained slightly too empty, the whole night. I wasn't too impressed with the music either - the dj was spinning top 40s and a weird mix of beats the whole night. This place is boring, go to any other club in boston!!!

Back when I lived in Boston (I moved away about 3 years ago) District was THE club.  My group wasn't huge on the club scene but when we wanted to go out big time for someone's birthday or for a girls' night District was always the place.  It was fun and classy.  Fast forward to my recent bachelorette party in Boston and I made the mistake of recommending District to my MOH remembering how much fun we used to have there.  District is now-- dare I say it?  Trashy.  It reminded me of those sleazier bars in that alley south of Boston Common.  The place was ten times more crowded than it used to be and the clientele was rowdier and sleazier than ever.  I know I'm an old married lady now, but regardless I likely won't be returning.

This place sucks.  The decor is horrendous and looks like it was designed by Ed Hardy.  There are multiple themes that contrast poorly with each other, for example the urban feel of the bricks does not go well with the country feel of the birch trees.  The only theme that is consistent throughout the club is tacky.  The plastic couches had holes all over them.  I'm not sure why I'd pay a 1000% mark up on a bottle of Cristal to hang out on a ratty plastic couch with True Religion d-bags when the couches in my apartment are nicer and the people are cooler.  Besides, my idea of bottle service involves drinking nips in the bathroom.

Me and Da Wheeze went here for dinner because it is right by my house and there was a travel zoo/groupon type thing here where we could get three appetizers and two cocktails for 29 bucks.  Unfortunately there had been a power outage due to The Great Back Bay Fire of 2012, so a lot of their refrigerated food had gone bad and we only had five options to choose from.  Nor was there a menu to look at so the waitress dictated our options to us.  With very limited options we settled upon some chicken fingers, fried calamari and lobster quesadilla.  The food was fine although the only sauce they had for the chicken fingers was ketchup.  In fact the only thing saving this place from one star was the food. It probably wasn't the best idea to go on a dinner date at a night club but curiosity got the best of me.
