I've been here more than a couple of times with my friends. Always hit or miss. Sometimes there's a great DJ and we'll dance for hours, and sometimes it's a snorefest.
Bouncers are always nice, girls walking around with the test tube shots always look bored or scared, I would be too, who knows when someone's gonna dougie into you and dump those test tubes everywhere!
Always interesting patrons. In the 3 years I've been coming here irregularly, we'll always see the same guys. "There's the guy who's always wearing a Cosby sweater!" and "There's the guy who stuck his tongue in my ear!" Too funny.
It's alright. Â It's one of those places where you swallow the pill and hope for the best. Â Downstairs is LAME. Â Lame cover bands blaring horrible music. Â So go upstairs.
Upstairs, much more fun. Â Dancing in a crowded area= even an AFC can dance with a girl here. Â And the crowd is mostly younger and sometimes touristy, so it won't be a snob fest by any means.
I dunno that's all there is to say. Â Come in, take it with a grain of salt, and have a good time.
Pretty average place- $7 on a Saturday night at 10. The ground floor has tables and a bar, the upstairs had a dj and dance floor. The ground was so sticky that I literally stepped out of my shoes a few times. It was also packed to the brim- don't plan on any big dance moves. The crowd was mostly bros, bruins fans, and drunk girls dancing up on the bouncers. I had a fun time, but you have to know what you're getting yourself into.
Review Source:I have had a really good experience here, as well as an annoying one. It happens unfortunately. Â I went there on a casual date one afternoon and got buzzed off of their amazing selection of 4$ margaritas, frozen or on the rocks in almost any flavor (downstairs). Â The service was attentive and kind, with my glass never empty. Â
I cannot speak well for the service after dark however. Â The drinks are then given in TINY plastic cups instead of the typical glasses those drinks are served in (slightly understandable since glass breaks easily when dropped, requires sanitization and plastic is disposable.) Â The people serving behind the bar are helpful and accomodating but the female floor servers at night aren't even tactful about profiling customers for tips. Â The first floor had 2 servers that did not even ask if we needed anything after sitting at a table for 10 minutes and asking a larger party of 6 (more tips) seated near us what they would like to drink. Â One server then stood next two a table of two college aged guys showing her bracelets and flirting with them when she was obviously supposed to be training the girl shadowing her. Â It wasn't very busy in there either and I was very hungry so we went to another spot.
Bottom line: buy drinks from the bar unless you want wait all night to be served at a table. Or try a different bar. Â The Stadium Sports Bar and Grill and Kitty O'Shea's are right around the corner, literally.
So my take on places like this is that you know what you're getting yourself into. Of course if you are going to a place where everyone is slosh-a-potamus-ed you're bound to run into either a drunk undergrad who just managed to score his somewhat-questionably-scannable fake ID off Tremont St, or a sleazy mid to late 20 year old who can't hold his or her liquor even after all that practice in college. Â But no matter what age bracket you're in, you're guaranteed to be surrounded by drunks, so buck up and drink up.
I came here with 4 friends on a night out and after heavy pre-drinking, we were ready to hand over our $5 to make our way upstairs and see what awaited.
$3 coat check (and they seem to do a good job of keeping track of your shit as long as you keep track of your ticket) and 2 decently made drinks later, I was ready to cut loose on the dance floor (and by that I mean sway from side to side while belting out the lyrics like a fan-girling, tone-deaf teeny-bopper). Â For being a Saturday night and us getting there at about 10, it wasn't terribly packed, but didn't feel empty either.
DJ even is pretty good with requests, pending you're not that drunk girl (or guy) who keeps screeching "PLAY BIEBER AGAIN!!!" Made 3 drunk friends who I never expect to see again, and even if we do, hell. It's fine, we'll probably both be hiding our heads in shame anyways.
Go for the party, go for the atmosphere, just prepare yourself for what you're inevitably going to see and experience. I got my Sissy K's out of my system for 2013; so until 2014 Sissy K's! It's been real!
Who cares what shoes you wear as long they're you're dancing shoes!
We came here by pure accident - serendipity, if you will. One of our friends was wearing designer shoes, but because it had a white bottom - we were denied entry from our previous location. Sissy K don't care, because it might as well be Sloppy K, or Slizzard K, or Slippy K, heck maybe even Sleazy K. Doesn't matter what you call it, but one thing is true - you're here to really let loose with all the other crazy people and it kind of becomes a competition on who's wilder. Sissy K merely presents the opportunity to do so.
Line-wise, it's not too bad. There's even an ATM on the wall while you wait. When you get inside, you know there's no going back. Downstairs is a little quieter with a few chairs, but upstairs is where the mayhem's at. When you first get upstairs, you start to wonder how they managed to fit a DJ booth, a dance-floor, and a bar. Then you wonder how they managed to fit all these people in here.
The drinks are potent to say the least. Skip the beer, go for the hard stuff. It's actually very cheap for a Boston location. I remember getting a whole round of drinks with accommodating shots for about thirty bucks. Drink it fast though, there's no room to sit or put your drink down (not to mention it will get cleared away if you put it down).
Expect sleaziness and people practically making babies on the dance-floor. Even if you're not the type to engage in such adulterous actions, be prepared to be accidentally pulled into it by a random stranger. Surprisingly, given the inebriation by it's patrons - I didn't  see one fight break out at all. Thank God because they don't check you for weapons when you go in.
The floor's sticky, the tables are wet, the bathroom's got puke in every stall/urinal, you're constantly being touched/hit on - but hey it depends on how you look at it. It can be a crapfest or it can be a crazy time.
I came here on a Friday night. Paid $5 cover charge and the line was pretty much like nothing since we came in roughly around 12:30 or a little later.
I can't tell you how expensive the drinks are cause I didn't pay for them. But they're all in little plastic cups. I just recently turned 21 so I'm not too sure if most places just give out alcohol in plastic cups but I downed those cups like nothing.
DJ & music was great! There wasn't a song that I didn't like. It's 3 floors. Basement for bathrooms, 1st floor is where tables & bar is where you come in, and 3rd floor was where the DJ & dance floor was. It wasn't claustrophobic at all, definitely had room to dance freely without bumping into anyone, although some people were being obnoxious with their space. But all you do is dance obnoxiously and booty bump them out of the way!
Music consisted of hip hop, a little bit of raggaeton, and house music. It was great! I was tired from dancing by the end of the night. Very fun! I'd come here again on a weekend night!
I feel silly writing a review on Sissy K's but I think it's necessary.
Anyone who gave this bar a serious complaint is a fool. Â It's a dive bar in Faneuil Hall.. get Bud Lights for $1.50, cheap apps (sometimes free if you go right after work) and just listen to crappy music or watch a sports game on one of several TVs.
Don't bitch, bitches.
You could easily do better than Sissy K's in Faneuil Hall. If you are going to Sissy K's you aren't looking to have a classy evening, you are looking for a sloppy, drunk night with sloppy people (which is great every once in a while). Drinks are usually pretty inexpensive and the cover varies per the night (makes no sense to me). I will say that they have karaoke every once in a while which I am a huge fan of but you don't have to go all the way to Faneuil for that. Worth going to once in a while, not a destination bar whatsoever though. Grimy spot.
Review Source:How do you rate a bar like this? Chances are if you're going to Sissy K's you know what you're getting into. I wasn't expecting some kick ass venue with banging people and solid dancing; I was expecting sloppy, drunk mayhem. If that's what you're looking for then Sissy K's might be for you.
I went recently for a friend's birthday party (22nd, not 21st) and arrived at the venue at about 10:45. Unfortunately there was a cover ($7) and line to get in but the line moved quickly. I was pleasantly surprised- the outside smelled of piss! I hate when I read reviews and people say, "oh, this place smelled of shit and piss" when it doesn't really. Regardless, everything everyone had said in their reviews was true of Sissy K's.
I was hoping the score some $1.50 bud light drafts that everyone on yelp spoke of, but I was way too late as 1, everyone is probably just as cheap as I am and only ordered bud light and 2, considering we're in Boston everyone flocks to Bud like it's some kind of liquid gold... I don't really understand it, but I was the designated driver anyway so I got the Wachusett Blueberry Ale (and they really did add blueberries, too!) and was content.
The first floor was a bit loud with the live performer but I must say, he was pretty good. He was playing some well known songs from early to mid nineties as well as modern hits. The upstairs, however, was a hot mess. People were literally falling all over the place shitfaced but that's how I like my clubs. Ladies, I wouldn't wear your best shoes or even heals; I would suggest something closed toe as the floor was soaked with beer. "Attractive" women walk around giving out $2 shots from test tubes. Didn't try one but my friend thought they were decent. Drinks were overpriced at the bar but that doesn't surprise me anymore. The music choice was excellent and couldn't have asked for better material. I was upset that I wasn't aloud to dance on the stage because I was a man but to be honest, if you saw some of the bitches getting up there I bet three quarters of the men at the club would have preferred to watch me shake my ass instead. Whatever, I'll be back.
TLDR: Relaxed bar, get there early for cheap draft bud, solid atmosphere, dirty dance floor, good music.
Sissy K's getting no yelp love? I'll try to fix that with doing a walk through of my night.
5:30:
Arrive at Sissy's with a handful of coworkers for the promised 1.50 drafts and free appetizers. Â Wait, they serve bud light drafts in actual glasses? Take note An Tuna Nuna.
6:30
As soon as one appetizer tray is destroyed, another is brought out. Â Sure the appetizers were probably frozen in boxes, but they definitely were heated in an oven and not a microwave which practically makes the food gourmet when you're 4 beers deep. Another one please.
8:00
Guitar guy shows up to play some songs for us. Â Acoustic version of Metallica's One sounds incredible. Â Another draft please.
9:30
Awesome Celtics game. Â $1.50 drafts with the wave of my finger weeeoooo!
10:30
"Can I have another beer? Wait I want one with the blueberries in it this time."
11:00
Another co-worker shows up. Â I grab her boob during a nice coworker group picture. Not cool. Â
11:30
Sissy's rudely runs out of $1.50 drafts so we obviously want our bill. Â 78 bud lights for a group of 6? Normal. Â My drunk math equates this to me throwing $40 over but someone throws $10 back at me. Nice.
12:00
Our group goes upstairs to dance but I feel uncomfortable dressed as Andy from the 40 Year Old Virgin (work clothes) so fittingly I walk out without saying goodbye and ride a Hubway bike back to my apartment in Roxbury.
For anyone that didn't infer from my night that this place is a sh!t show, it is. Â Which is sometimes needed and a lot of fun. Â I'll go back.
$1.50 Bud Lite drafts even on Saturday night game nights! But when they run out of draft you're stuck with the $4.75 bottles.
Baked scallops were really good but they just sprinkled some bread crumbs on them which I think made it worse. They were cooked in a buttery white wine sauce which I loved.
Great bartenders... Friendly and quick!
Had live music going on, wish they would've turned up the sound for the game though.
Cool bar! Sports on the TV - nice! Â Karaoke was in effect. $1.50 bud lights... We had a blast. Â It was nice to see people in t-shirts and sports jerseys. Seems the other bars in the area require a collared shirt and stuffy attitudes--and golf is the sport on every tv... Â
The upstairs bartender was funny, has some suggestions on where NOT to do laundry...we were there for PAX. Â Â My brother rocked Godsmack on the Karaoke and people were blown away (or were they frightened?) Â Maybe not big metal fans on the East Coast. Â But yeah, from what I remember, it was a fun place. Â Did I mention $1.50 drafts? Â Oh, and I apologize to the cocktail waitress when I knocked over your drinks... you should let patrons know you are behind them when creepin' by with your ninja like cat-skills!
Cheers!
Scene 1: The Friday adjacent to St. Patrick's day. Boston is full of brohemium dudeoxides and other various variations of unbrofessional amateur drinkers from out of town. So much loling and omging. Time to 1-2 step. Bust out my cellietellie for directions to nearest dance joint. Scratch that. Just follow the puke on the sidewalk and you'll find where the party is currently located. Oh look, Sissy K's. Why not. Long line? Cover? Yup to the former and latter. Gameface time. Words were exchanged with doorman. Immediate access, no currency tendered.
Scene 2: Cover band turning lame songs that secretly aren't lame into songs that aren't lame and aren't lame to scream at the top of your lungs while receiving the full spectrum of looks of disapproval to ganders of fawning approval. Bartenders seem to work at Hooters by day. Tap list is as one would expect.
Scene 3: Upstairs is alive. Everybody in the club certainly gettin' tipsy. DJ spinning guilty pleasures. Females dancing on the raised floor to the right. Friend attempts to do likewise and is immediately thrown out. Don't worry, he somehow got back in 15 minutes later. Dance circle forms. I may or may not have participated. I don't think you're ready for this jelly.
Scene 4: My bed, pounding head, and memories of lols past.
End scene.
Honestly, I am not the type to venture into this type of bar. It's filled with trashy Boston girls who wear fleece North Face  jackets, diamond earrings, black leggings (in lieu of pants) and high heels. (Well...unless they are fat, then they wear Uggs.) The guys are even worse! Loud douche-y screaming, Papelbon Red Sox shirts, and lots and lots of obligatory beer.
That being said, I ventured in here once because a friend of mine was heading over after work and wanted me to join in. Downstairs was karaoke and pretty packed whilst upstairs was pretty much white people dancing around to hip hop. I danced, drank a couple of drinks (which I will say were not overpriced) and then left. No harm, no foul.
It was on my 2nd trip into this bar that my problem occurred. Again, being lead in by a group of friends I attempt to step up to the door. I produce my Valid Massachusetts I.D. showing I am the required age and get told "We're really full in here man." So my friend comes out to the door & is like "He's with us. We're gonna be leaving in an hour". Then another guy says "You can't let him in. He doesn't have a driver's license. We're not allowing anyone in with just an I.D.. Do you have anything else to show?" I produce a bank ATM card (VISA) with my picture on it. This isn't good enough. My work I.D.? No.
Someone else tries to con me into PAYING them to let me in. Huh??? I am a 32 year old man. Two girls come up looking like Snooki from the MTV show "Jersey Shore" and get admitted. Because I have a bald head and a goatee, I am told no. Maybe if I foist my breasts out and put a barrette at the top of my head, they'd say yes? I just stand around outside until my friends finish their beers and bolt. Not only was this a bar I'd never want to go to in the first place, now it will be a bar I never TRY to go to again!
Get that urinal cake ready.
I ventured in here the night before Christmas Eve - a buddy is in from California and he has orgasms when it comes to crappy "Fannel Hall" bars. Â I ordered a Guinness and was told they didn't carry Guinness. Â Aint this an Irish bar? Â I attempted to order a Bass or a Newcastle - still unheard of. Â I settled for a RunnyNose or SmuttyNose something or other and it sucked balls.
Again, why?!?!
Since I love Dive-y bars, I have to give this little dirty place 4 stars.
I had one of my best times in this little hole in the wall where your shoes will stick to the ground. Â Despite being packed- easy to get a drink. Â Karaoke was a blast and people did not take themselves too seriously here like they do at a lot of other karaoke nights. Â
If I am back in Bean town, I will go back.
Going to Sissy K's is like stick-poking roadkill as a kid. You don't know why you do it but, somehow, it happens; it smells and the longer you stick around, the more often you find yourself looking over your shoulders to see if anybody is watching you, and finally you expect some magical reaction, ending up sorely disappointed. Disappointed and itchy.
...
Just me? Liar. Every little kid has jabbed a dead thing with a stick. Fact.
If you decide to cut shapes upstairs, expect to be hit on by a mother/daughter tag team. I only wish I were kidding. On the bright side, KJ Dan is a thoroughly entertaining karaoke host and you'll almost find American light lager promo gals cleaving it up while passing out bottles of weak brew.
Parties and bullshit and parties and bullshit and parties and bullshit and parties...
Okay so I don't get the root of all evil review and the one star review where the person says service was "ok" and the Jalapeno Poppers were actually "very good", then the same person tries to come into a bar with a state issued ID not a Driver's license and then is upset that they were given some static... give me a freaking break. Â I worked the door and the "State ID" was an invitation to the Fake ID analysis.
That all being said. Â I went. Â Beer was $1.50 a draw. Â The price rocks. Â Then I was offered a bowl of chips and salsa. Â I thought wow this is nice considering I am only drinking $1.50 draws. Â The chips and salsa were not bad. Â So I order my second $1.50 draw and the young lady tending bar tells me to help myself to the free pizza buffet. Â I was like are you kidding I have spent three dollars have eaten a bowl of chips and salsa and now am getting free pizza. Â So I get some pizza. Â It is not the best pizza on Earth, but it is free! Â So where is the room to complain. Â If it were totally inedible then I'd say they deserve a hit, but it was not. Â It was a chicken pizza and average.
So the last nice part is the tax was included in the $1.50 price! Â Very nice!
I understand they have live music, karaoke and dance music from time to time. Â The bar spans three levels and is in the heart of Faneuil Hall.
Oh Sissy K's, if I do a rain dance will you golden shower me with your $1.50 drafts all over my chest?
Reading the other reviews you get the gist of this place.
1) $1.50 drafts of light beer until 'the kegs run out' with a $5 cover after the night is later.
2) Karaoke 5 days a week, ALWAYS a good crowd every night of the week, which makes this place a golden spot if you have a random weekday off from work or need a drink.
3) Sticky floors, gross bathrooms, bad smells, friendly bartenders, not a place to go on a first date.
4) Food is actually pretty good being made in a place that has all of #3 up above. (free nacho chips at the tables)
5) Karaoke downstairs, DJ bumping beats upstairs. Bar upstairs and downstairs.
Places like this need to exist, sometimes you're in the mood to get sloppy drunk with friends, or a girl after you've both had drinks elsewhere, and you want to go have fun, sing karaoke, and impregnate someone on the dance floor upstairs.
Thank you K's !
If I could give this place zero stars I would.
I was denied entry when I showed my MILITARY I.D. Â The bouncer then proceeded to tell me THE MILITARY HAS BEEN BANNED FROM SISSY K'S FOR LIFE.
Can you say discrimination lawsuit? Â Do you not allow Jews either? Arabs? Â Blacks? Â Are you going to stone me to death in the street?
I'm a blonde, ditzy 25 year-old girl, but Sissy K's somehow found me threatening once they knew that I'm serving my country.
Now the easy solution is: Â Use your driver's license instead. Â But I have too much pride.
F*ck you and your disloyal and unpatriotic establishment.  I hope this moronic "no military" rule  bites you in the ass.
A "Support our Troops, Don't Drink at Sissy K's!" bumper sticker will be on-sale for $1.00.
Oh Sissy's. The beer is cheap, $1.50 drafts are back. That sounds fantastic to me. Â I've got at all different times of the day/night and although at night the floors get sticky and you might lose a flip-flop en route to the bathroom (GROSS); Sissy K's is an all around good time. Â Music, yeah I don't really remember that. Â Good stuff I'm guessing.
The staff is wicked friendly. Â That's a plus; at least the times I've been/gone. Â My friend S and I frequent on Saturday afternoons for lunch in the summer, good stuff. Â This is in general our second stop for the day and not our last.
The TV's with whatever you want (because I've obnoxiously asked about switching channels) are great, especially on a quite Saturday afternoon or weekday when there are plenty of TV's to spare. Â But I also love sports and beer so that's cool any other time.
Nachos are great and they give you chips and salsa to pick on while you're sitting. Â This is during the day time, from what I know/remember at being there later on in the night (eek). Â
I don't love the fact about the cover, so that is why if we go; we tend to stop by on the earlier side. Â Do our thing and hang out. Â Good times. Â They also have karaoke all week! Yay! Â I've never done it/gone solely for that but I know people who do and they enjoy it.
The Cons:
- 45 minute line while the place was half empty
- $7 cover...umm, what?
- Sleazy guys with no apparent control of their hands
- Extremely crowded/smallish dance floor
- Only bathrooms are in the basement
- The bouncers made a girl who wanted a smoke break re-wait on the line to get back inside. This resulted in her chain smoking and blowing the smoke in my face as she waited on line in front of us.
The Pros:
- Pretty good music mix
- The downstairs had a cute little live band playing
- $2 shots
- Friendly bartenders
I may still want to check out kareoke nights but we shall seeee.
There was a time when you could get Bud Light and Bud for $1 to $1.25 a cup. Our shit economy has changed this, and now the draft beers are all the way up to $2.00.
Here are some tips to make this place more enjoyable:
1. Stick to beer. You don't like beer? Well, don't go to Sissy K's
2. I hope you don't have to go to the bathroom! I am just glad I am a dude and can stand like 2 ft. from the toilet, point my junk at it, and pee, and not ever have to touch anything. I feel bad for women that need to use the bathroom here....
3. Get here early. If you don't, you pay a cover charge. And this place is NOT worth a cover charge.
4. You like your stereotypical "guy on acoustic guitar playin those songs we all like"? Then stay downstairs. You want to get your "ghetto thug on" and dance the night away, go upstairs.
5. Keep an eye on your tab and what you order.
6. Do not leave the bar and expect to get back in later without paying the cover charge. Once you are in, stay in or leave for good.
Following these simple rules will have you leaving there happy because you will realize you had an awesome time for like 12 bucks.
I dock this place points because the draft prices went up, it's too small, it's full of d-bags, the bathrooms are horrendous, the bouncers are assholes, and the service sucks. It's only really good for the cheap beer.
This place is a run of the mill jib-bar, but honestly it was fine with me for the time I was there. Â I was there between roughly 4:30 and 5:45 pm on a Saturday, which seems to be before they really "hit their stride" in Faneuil Hall terms. Â When we first entered there was ample "let's-drop-in-for-a-drink!" tourism going on with many of those types mildly smiling along with the sounds of that-guy-with-an-acoustic-guitar-who-plays-those-Âsongs with the kind of bright strings that when cranked up can slice up a block of Cracker Barrel cheese. Â
So, we drank upstairs which was vacant and strange. Â The floor consisted of the dried remains of 245+ spilled gin and tonics, bicardi ices, and other casualties of grinding from the night(s) before. Â And the fan was on full blast making it cold and staaaank. Â The bartender chick upstairs was nice though, she turned it off when I asked. Â One odd and pretty much annoying thing was that the DJ was, I guess, "warming up" for the night by absolutely cranking BS over their system, while we're all standing around trying to shout at each other. Â There was really no need for that BS. Â
The dollar shit-beers are a good touch though. Â All in all, crap, but a crap that I can deal with at a that low price. Â Like lawn mowing, I doubt I'd fuck with it past dark.
First thought upon entering Sissy K's: Did I just pay a cover charge to see how many barely 21 year olds can fit into a 20'x20' dirty closet?
Walking into this bar is reminiscent of exiting the airport in Florida. You are instantly hit with a heavy, wet, hot smack in the face. That paired with the fact capacity laws obviously do not apply to this location, and the completely different sets of stereotypes from floor 1 to 2, makes me think this place is a hot spot for frat boy fights.
I will say this in favor of Sissy K's, for the area it's in, the drinks weren't super overpriced.
You're standard Faneuil Hall Boston stomping ground. Popular, not too upscale, over crowded most Thursday - Saturday nights. Typically a $5 cover, karaoke night when this place is definitely not designed to host karaoke. Not a fan of all that.
General meat market warning for the ladies.
Sissy's has an upstairs too that is equally over crowded and a tiny bathroom for everyone located in the basement, one level down from the ground level floor.
Bartenders are quick to ignore people who have been standing there for awhile and don't give a hoot.
I do like this place for lunch and a quick beer. Standard bar food. Nothing spectacular but good. I usually hit it up before the annual Hockey East semi-finals and finals at the TD Banknorth Boston Garden.
The worst bar ever. Â
The girls may be scantilly clad... in fact, they look like sluts... and they are the rudist bartenders i've ever encountered. Â Although I definately appreciate a $1.50 bud light on a saturday afternoon during a pub crawl... you can at least smile at me. Â Just a friggin smile, that's all I ask.
Tight space, lousy service... it would be one star if it wasn't for the cheap beer.
LOUSY... go to another bar close by... there are tons.
I used to go here a lot until I discovered a bar right around the corner who's $1.50 drafts don't end at 11pm conveniently every single night when the keg is "kicked". Also, the cover is cheaper.
As far as Sissy tho. Fun place if you enjoy being crammed into a a tiny room with blaring pop music and flashing lights, guys who love to invade your personal space while you're innocently walking through the crowds to get back to your friends, or a bathroom you have to fight your way down 2 floors to access.
Also, what bar makes you get back in line if you go outside to smoke? C'mon. I paid the cover, I waited in line, what the hell.
If you can get here earlier in the night and hangout downstairs with the live acoustic acts, it's a great place to relax after work and get the night started, but I wouldn't recommend coming here later.
Staggering in at #3 on my list of "Ten Place To Burn and Loot in Boston When the Revolution Comes", Sissy K's is just disgusting. How, you ask, is Sissy K's any more distinguishable from any of the other terrible places to go drink and dance in the Faneuil Hall area? There's something in the raucous, trashy attitude of the patrons that makes it worse. Maybe the cheap beer attracts more lowlifes. Plus, Sissy K's is just dirty and smelly. Â
Gross. Avoid.
Oh, Sissy's. Â Our relationship is love/hate, but it's like 1% love and 99% hate.
I love karaoke and Sissy's has that going for it. Â I used to work in cigarette promos, giving out free lighters to frat boys in exchange for pictures of their driver's licenses and lots of KOOL coupons they will never use in the mail. Â Well, one day I tried to do my bidness at Sissy's and the manager had me physically thrown out. Â Very nice.
The karaoke guy is really, really nice and still remembers my name and introduces me a legend when I come in there, which is hilarious to anyone who has heard me sing. Â but I am an entertainer! Â Anyway, I would sometimes come in before work and sing a song sober and haul ass outta there. Â One night I sang "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League, forgetting the 4 minutes of repetition at the end. Â It was horrific. Â You really need to have some fans in the audience at this place. Â
Some other highlights? Â Some asshole pulling my dress up and exposing me on my 22nd birthday. Â The drunk people who slur and insist on trying to sing with you. Â Frat boys trying to rap.
This place is gross and dirty and hideous and the crowd is a mix of bro dude and just plain trashy people.
But a major reason for just two stars is that for quite a while I was BANNED from Sissy's. Â My friend had too many drinks and got crazy and started a fight with a bartender -- there's about to be a whuh girlfight. Â Ok, so I don't hang with crazy alcoholic 6 foot ladies that pick fights anymore. Â But that wasn't my fault!!! Â And yeah, I was drunk but the manager, the one who had forcefully ejected me a while back, kept buying my ass drinks long after the slurring point!!
So, i'll be back for some Karaoke, but I hate you Sissy's. Â You suck.
This for me was the place I went to before I was smart enough to know where to go out.
All I wanted to do when I was 21 was drink cheap beer and dance. And Sissy K's was just the place to do it! I haven't been in a while but I'm pretty sure they still have $1 drafts until 11 (which really just means until they run out which is usually much earlier). So I would roll up with my posse around 9:30 run past the man singing with his guitar downstairs up into the "club" with the yah doods and drink as fast as I possibly could. After I was sufficiently drunk I would climb up onto the closest speaker, box, table, guy, etc and dance until it was 2:15 and the bouncers insisted that it was time for me to leave.
Yeah I was THAT girl.
And kill myself.
I stopped in on my 22nd birthday to meet some friends and hung out in the downstairs area with guitar man which I had never done before. It was bearable I guess.
It's always pretty busy so they must be doing something right.
But I'm happy that phase of my life is over.
Live and learn.
Sissy K's represents all that is evil and soulless with Faneuil Hall bars. Â I went here a little while back with my brother who is younger. Â This is the kind of place you need to pay a cover charge to get into, for nothing. Â
Though the night I went there was a guy playing covers on a guitar. Â The place was packed with guys with no necks, and girls who couldn't tell you where they go to school without looking at their sweatshirt. Â I actually heard guys talking about how "bangin" their friend's fiancee was. Â
Seriously. Â I mean "bangin?"
Favorite part of the night was when some drunk North Shore douche loudly called the guy playing guitar a "faggot." Â Then the guy took off his guitar and walked over....they got separated. Â It was awesome. Â Where does the guitar guy get in a fight? Â
Only at Sissy K's my friend. Â If you like it here, and not in a cliche way, you must have eaten paste as a child.
I find this place excellent for a good night of booty shaking. The dance floor upstairs is a lot more fun than the bar downstairs, although they do have darts downstairs, which seems a little dangerous given the crowd and the drunkenness...
It's not a particularly impressive place, the drinks can get kind of steep, and trying to fight your way to the bar can be a serious pain in the ass. My advice? Come drunk enough so that you only need one or two more drinks, and you'll have a good time, especially in a big group. It's also a good place to stop off as you hop your way through the area bars.
