  Go to have fun with friends, not to find the love of your life, Pretty shady dudes here. Bouncers act like they are working an NYC club and are a joke.  Good music.

  Thursday is the night to go.  Pleasant doorman who is up to date of proper Identiication.  The free buffet is usually good but has off nights.  The first thursday of the month brings out some ballroom dancers.  The dj is great and takes requests all evening. The first 90 minutes is old disco and after that is mostly top 40.
  
  Saturday gets busy and the doorman on this night is a clown who does not have a clue on up to date ID's.  He has an attitude and can be confrontational.
  
  The drinks are expensive, $7.50 for a beer and the mixed drinks can be watered down.  The waitresses can be aggressive on collecting drinks, so finish them before dancing.

  I've been to Vincent's on a Thursday and Saturday and I can't say it's a club I would plan to go to, it's merely a place my friends and I would decide to go to after a function in the area or after a dinner party etc.
  
  The music is ok, good to just dance the night away to BUT the public is rather old. And by old I mean anything from 50-90, seriously! I would say in order to somewhat enjoy yourself here, you would need to go with a bunch of friends, people who's company you can enjoy. The public on the weekend is quite low-class, old men trying to pick up chicks of any age, old people getting hammered, really not a place for the young faint hearted.

  Disappointed.  We called to ask about dress code, specifically jeans.  We were told, "Yea, sure, as long as they are dark and no sneakers."  Following the instructions and parameters we showed up to the entrance and our party was turned away.  We pleaded with an understanding bouncer about the information we received, but he was adamant.  We returned home very upset.  Very disappointed.

  As a veteran of the club scene, I actually have not been to this place since July 4th 2000!!!   It was built around the same time, the Palace and the place in Framingham that turned into a furniture store across from Walmart.  I think they were all part of a chain of clubs called Chauteu de Ville.  I have actually met people who frequented these places in their hey day!!!
  
  Anyways, I go there Last Thursday with an old friend that was passing through the area.  We get there a little before 10 and this dude with totally white hair drove by... causing my friend to chortle and giggle a little.  Not that my friend is exactly a spring chicken.  
  
  Anyways, we get in and it was my turn to chuckle when I paid the admission...The cover is 7 after 9 PM!!!  I have'nt paid so little for a big club experience in this area since the early 90's!!!  
  
  The place has'nt changed much, the crowd was light and very well dressed even though this night was a casual night because of the holiday.   The older men looked kind of wealthy and pretty worldly, but I  did'nt see any of the recently sighted Cougars that the other reviewers love to talk about...  
  
  The drinks prices were very reasonable and the D.J. played every song we asked for!
  
  Whats not to like?  I will be coming back to check out the other nights for sure!!!

  If there were a zero star rating, they would've barely got that from me. I went there for Halloween saturday night. I am female and was alone because I was meeting girls inside. In the rain & snow when I approached the door, I was ordered to " go around" the velvet rope and then I was put in line, but there was no line! Apparently the scumbag bouncer ( an over 40 loser in a  hoodie) decided that he was going to use me as the start of his non existent line. I called my girls to say I was outside and mentioned that the bouncer was giving me attitude. I was then told by an even bigger douche bag in a suit to leave! He ordered me to leave and wouldn't even let me wait for my friends. In this economy, I demand to be treated with respect if I am going to spend one dollar on your establishment. While I was standing in the non existent line, I noticed a number of older Asian women in bad clothes and even older men who weren't in costume ( unless wearing a Cosby sweater is a costume ) If you are female, under 50, and attractive, I would stay far far away from this place!

  Vincent's is not your typical Boston dance club.  My experiences are from Fridays and Saturdays and so I will limit my comments to those nights.  
  
  Let me start by saying what you won't find at Vincent's - drunken college students, people on E,  or playlists centered around techno.  You won't see fights break out, people vomiting outside the door, or drama.  If you are willing to put up with any of this, you will not like Vincent's. Everyone else read on.
  
  While it is generally true that you will not find a lot of beautiful people in their 20s to watch, there is a lot to be said for it if you are in the target demographic.
  
  The facilities are quite nice, think disco, with four bars around a large dance floor and one on the balcony.  The staff is polite.  The bathrooms are clean.  Valet parking is $5 - a real bargain; although parking is plentiful, the valet is a real nice-to-have if it is raining and your date/spouse is worried about getting her hair/shoes wet.  It's non smoking inside, but they have a smoking area near, but separated, from the entrance.  Drinks are affordable as is the cover - try finding that in Boston.
  
  Fridays are Latin Night and you will find people in their 30s/40s with a mix of couples and singles.  You will hear salsa, chacha and meringue and it is not unusual to see people mixing it up on the dance floor and not stick with a single dance partner.  Skill levels range from non dancers to advanced and you will not feel uncomfortable if you have no dance training the way you will at a some of the more intense Latin Dance clubs.  It doesn't begin hopping until around 11.
  
  Saturdays the vibe is altogether different.  It's more of a pickup joint for singles in their 40s, but you will also find married couples getting away from the kids for a night.  You won't see the mixing on the dance floor that you do on Fridays.  As for the music, it's all current pop dance tunes - Lady Gaga, P!ink, Katy Perry, Enrique Iglesias, Pit Bull, etc. as well as the occasional classic from Michael Jackson and Madonna.  The night starts hopping earlier, around 10, and it is absolutely packed by 11.
  
  My wife and I love to dance, but we generally no longer enjoy the hassle, lines and drama of the downtown Boston club scene.  Vincent's is a nice getaway for people over 35 who like to dance, or just people watch.  
  
  PS - Men, no jeans no matter how fancy or expensive they might be.
  
  PPS - I was recently asked why not five stars?  I could easily talk myself into giving them five stars.  They do what they do really well.  I suppose if it were in a trendier location, but then again if it were it would be a lot costlier and less accessible - right off the 93 is pretty convenient and if you have a bit too much to drink there is a hotel nearby.  Hmmm, I need to give this some more thought. Regardless of 4 or 5 stars, if you like to dance and have outgrown the Boston club scene check Vincent's out.

  Staff is great and place is always clean... Never any issues due to the very stacked police detail out front.. Friday's is latin night and seems to only be latin people... Sat nights is the fun night... Don't bother on a thur night, place is dead....

  Let's just say do not go here if you're white! I have never experienced anything more horrible!
  Went a a group after a function at Lantana's last Friday. We waited about 20 minutes at the bar for a drink (after many Hispanic people who showed up after a were served).
  Then when we went to leave we were standing out front waiting for a cab, talking and joking with the cop on duty, when the bouncer came out of no where called my boyfriend and I assholes and to leave. I calmly said excuse me, what for and that it wa inappropriate to call is that especially with no reason. Then the cop, (who we were just laughing with)... Told us we were now tresspassing and would be arrested if we didn't leave! Arrested!!!! For doing nothing but wait for a cab!
  So then we had to wait for our cab on the STREET!!!!
  
  So in the end, horrible place. Very low rent people! And wouldn't advice anyone with class to occupy this venue!

  I've been there a few times. On latin nights and regular nights. Latin nights are lots of fun. It's always packed and a good atmosphere. Thursday night, ladies night, is ok it gets pack slow. On satrudays, It's most likely older crowd where the average age is 35  or so. I felt like a prey walking into an ambush. If you bring friends with you then you might have a good time.

  Vincent's Nightclub in Randolph has to be the worst nightclub ever!
  
  Bad music, bad crowd, bad help, bad management and bad drinks.
  
  Don't bother!!!
  
  Why isn't there a ZERO STAR rating?
  
  (BTW, a friend told me it was great a few years ago, packed, good music too, but all down hill lately.)
  
  Vincent's Nightclub on a Saturday night is a total waste of time and money. AWFUL!!!

  Look. I'm a white girl. Sure, I've taken dance classes since I was three but I'm still a white girl.
  Latin Night is on Fridays and I would never attend without a number of my Latin boy friends around me. However, every time I go it's a blast. Drinks are a bit expensive, but honestly if I really want to dance well I absolutely cannot drink at all. The dance floor gets a bit crowded but I love people watching. I always find myself watching these Latina girls in their tiny tiny dresses, ridiculously high heels and amazing rears move like they do. I am very jealous.
  
  If you go before 10:30 and you're a girl it's free. And if you bring boys with you so are the drinks ;)
  
  Good times here.

  It's been years since I've hung out at Vincent's and I had some fun there at that time. If you are a older male looking to kill a few hours talking (yelling in some cases) to some women then this is the place for you.
  Don't dance?..that's ok. There are plenty of places there to just hangout
  and greet the ladies.

  Vincent's at one time about 2 to 3  years ago or so was a great club to go to.  The music WAS great and the dance floor is large.  Since then it has gone down the toliet on Saturday nights.  They now have a DJ that has NO BUSINESS being there because he SUCKS.  The average age there is 35 plus.  Apparently, the DJ doesn't understand the club's market.  They always offered a DISCO saturday night which always drew a great crowd.  Now, they play all of the GARBAGE that is played on some of the radio stations and as a result the crowd has also changed.  His sidekick also has NO CLUE as to what great music is all about.  The only guy that gets it, is a cute guy named Miguel who unfortunately is only there once in a while.  It's really unfortunate that Vincent's now sucks.   The DJ is sooooooo bad that we left there on Saturday 5/29 at 11:30pm.  We only stayed for one hour.  I should have asked for my money back. Mind you my girlfriends and I use to go there on a regular basis because of the music. Since then everyone that I have spoken to that at one time loved going there has not been back because of the AWFUL music.  I approached the DJ about his awful music selections and he told me that the owners (the Lombardos) decided to change its format and no longer offer "DISCO SATURDAY NIGHTS" - Big mistake!!   So for all of you that are looking for great disco music on either a Friday OR Saturday night check out ZsaZsa which is located on Route 1 North in Saugus.  They have 2 unbelievably great young DJs that play disco ALL NIGHT LONG.  Unfortunately the dance floor at ZsaZsa is on the small side but the music more than makes up for it. They also offer food at ZsaZsa but I have yet to eat there.   Vincent's can kiss my business good-bye unless they get rid of their Saturday night DJ and his stupid younger sidekick who by the way is soooooo rude.  They should bring back the bald guy that was the DJ before this current Saturday DJ.  Maybe I should open up my own DISCO somewhere and draw the kind of crowd that appreciates great dancing music!!!  I'm not a cougar....I'm a panther!!!!
  
  7/28/10 - I wanted to add to this review.  Since writing the review, ZsaZsa went under new management and construction.  ZsaZsa is now LAVO and they have expanded the dance floor.  The music continues to be AWESOME!!  It's disco on both Friday and Saturday night with the BEST DJs this side of town.  These guys really know how to smoothly spin and integrate the music.  It's non-stop dancing all night long.  Sorry Vincents.....you blew it and lost a bunch of my friends as customers.  We won't be back unless you decide to change your music format.  Stop playing all that junk music that you play.  Remember, the older crowd has money to spend.  The 20 somethings are just getting started in their lives and don't have the money that we 35+ do!!  So smarten up!

  Vincent's is a great place to go with a bunch of friends and just have fun, especially if you are 35+ since not many places cater to this age group.  The dance floor and music are great, and they even have a free buffett every Thursday night that is really pretty good!  BUT, if you go here thinking you are going to meet a future mate you just aren't going to have a good time.  Alot of the crowd is scary in a "what rock did they just crawl out from under" kinda way, but there are enough normal people to make it bearable.

  Oh Vincent's
  
  It's really exactly what I expected. I was told it was a cougar bar, was invited by a self-proclaimed cougar, and when I got there, it was filled with cougars / pumas. Check the website and the pic section if you don't believe me.
  
  Before 10 it is free for ladies I believe check the website if you want to be sure. After 10 it is $5 for ladies, guys it is $10. I am 24 and I have a lot of aunts that go here aged 35-55. The outfits chicks wear are outrageous here, but fun! It's a very fun environment. I went on Saturday which is just ...Dance Saturdays. They play basically music you would hear in a club in Boston.
  
  Bartenders are very cute and young, and it's such a crazy mix here. If I hadn't shown up with a posse of cougars I think I would of been held down in the middle of the recessed dance floor and sexually molested/assaulted. You can only fight off those women-charged hormone cougars in their sexual peak for so long!
  
  With that being said I had a lot of fun, LOTS of wallflowers here, but the place is so big that there are still a lot of people dancing all night long. Not to mention 40 year old guys are more likely to just give a chick the elevator eyes creepily instead of like something worse like grabbing their ass. SO maturity does work eventually.
  
  This place has 2nd floor with classy seats and tables where you can watch the bottom floor and the dance floor. I kind of like the recessed dance floor style, it also has I believe 4 decks that kind of protrude onto the floor where you can dance if you're feeling sexy and frisky, and love attention.
  
  No dude bro's here and no jeans allowed, only on women, and only if they're designer jeans. So it's a pretty sweet classy place. I live down the street, never knew this was here, and this was my first time there, it's like a little piece of Boston right down the street from your house. All the music, drinks and people but no shitty commute.
  
  Best cougar huntin grounds around too. Rawwrrrr.

  It is a beautiful club, with a sunken dance floor, dramatic lighting, multiple bars, attractive bartenders, staff in suits and ties.  
  
  Friday is Latin night.  Not many great dancers, but a small cadre of excellent regulars.  Mostly Merengue, Bachata, and some Salsa, mixing in Reggaeton at the end of the evening (midnight).
  
  The problem with Vincents is that you must bring your own posse if you want to be sure to get a dance.  I have been shut out once, but I have had several remarkable evenings.  
  
  Most of the crowd doesn't dance.  A lot of posing and swaying.  Mostly Latinos/Latinas, mostly well dressed, and some with attitudes (especially if you are white).  
  
  It's a shame that this club doesn't attract better dancers and play ChaCha, and it's a shame that these Latinas can't and won't dance.

  I have a disclaimer:
  
  This was not my idea.  I have a friend who lives out there and likes the place.
  
  You can almost smell the desperation in this place, but like a train wreck, you just can't look away
  
  Truly an eye opening experience.
