Splash Ultra Lounge & Burger Bar

Not sure why this place has such bad reviews. I booked a table for my birthday last year at a fairly reasonable price compared to other venues in Boston. It is close to the South Station T stop and has no cover. Though the dance floor is small, you can hang out on the rooftop by the "pool" (more like a pond) or behind the bar in the loung-ey area. This is not your typical too-loud-I-can't-hear-you type of club and attracts a classy, international crowd.

This is the second time in five years I've been to Splash and I was really hoping that things have changed a bit since the last time I was here, but not by much, the same setup, music was good  maybe a bit too loud for a lounge, but overall a small place where bouncers couldn't control a small group of idiots that thought it is appropriate to dance on the sofas waiving the glasses around. Bouncers were nowhere to be found  and to take control of the situation. Bartenders would move fast for a Saturday night. It was a great night but we didn't last long, it will be another five years before we go there again.

This place is a club?   Its like an appartment with a projector on the wall.  It was obvioulsy built without the intention of this being a club.  And the smoking area is a SMOKE_BOX, I could barely breath so if you dont smoke forget about being able to be near your friends while they do.  

Plus when we arrived there was no line out front, but they made us wait in it since we arent locals(who they just let in)

On top of that they made the ladies and guys pay 20$.  No wonder there where so many guys in this place.  

I could go on and on about this place but it was not inviting at all.

Would I return?  No way, id rather walk the streets of Boston and look at the buildings.

I was dissapointed, i really do wish it was more fun.
