Best of Boston

2009 Best Gay Club

Dbar

By far the least pretentious of the Hub’s gay hot spots, this nightclub-restaurant hybrid presents a compelling case for venturing beyond the Back Bay/South End circuit. The price is right (no cover, and no cocktails over $9), the crowd is attractive and always changing, and the dance-floor fun kicked up a notch this spring with the debut of Show Tune Tuesdays and you-be-the-DJ iPod Thursdays.
