Editorial Review for Jacques – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Jacques sports a bright red, tacky-yet-elegant ambience and a melting-pot quality that's rare in local gay clubs. Drag queens were the club's usual clientele for decades when the club was home to a truly underground scene--Jacques' owner once boasted that he was the first Boston promoter to book the notorious cross-dressing disco group the Village People. Live rock bands play Friday and Saturday nights, while most other nights feature colorful female impersonators.

This place if definitely not your Las Vegas type of drag show/lounge. It's been around for ages, it's a classic dive bar and sometimes just plain ole tacky night out. But, it's FUNNNN! The place gets all kinds of people from the usual gay boys and drag queens to weekend bachelorette parties. You'll also see the weekend "T" friendly types there too. It's such a fun mix of everything you really can't have a bad time here. Bring your cash even though there is an ATM, get some cheap but good drinks and watch the show on stage AND in the crowd!
Pros: Cheap Drinks, Fun Show, Fun Crowd
Cons: Lots of Wasted Bachelorettes on Weekends
