Editorial Review for Saint – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Deep in the bowels of the Copley Square Hotel lies the city's first self-described "nitery" (though it's more of an upscale lounge than a "nighttime eatery"). Saint's designers obviously had fun filling this turn-of-the-20th-century space with various stylish and futuristic accoutrements: opaque-glass bathroom doors, plasma TVs and for a nightlife spot, the Back Bay's first bed (for lounging only). Black-clad servers and bouncers have been known to exude a bit of attitude.
The Draw
Three distinct areas feature chic environs and expensive food and drink menus to keep the under-25 crowds at bay. Upon entering, patrons encounter the calm, blindingly white "Threshold Room," flanked by the "Living Room" (cavernous and usually crowded) and the more relaxed "Bordello Room" (romantically draped in crimson). Regardless of the locale, most tables are reserved for high-rollers; you'll likely be forced to stand with your selections from Chef Rene Michelena's eclectic "mini-cuisine" menu.

We went past Saturday night & had a great time there. The doorstaff were polite, the bartenders were there anytime we wanted a drink. music was a little cliche, but not bad.& fun decor. (Whats with the tall guy? he handed somthing to my girl, which she promtly threw away) That got my attention! Overall though we had a great time.
Pros: polite service, interesting decor, music ok
Cons: it attacts all sorts of people, some sketchy .

Last time I went to Saint we were told the cover charge was $20. Finding that absolutely ridiculous we said no thanks, and made our way toward City Bar. Why pay a cover when there are plenty of bars without covers within walking distance. When we walked back outside the bouncer or manager (whoever he was) brought us back in and asked if we would pay $10, no, how about $5 still no. He let us in and the place was empty! I don't understand the hype of a $20 cover charge to be so disappointed! We had a drink and left for City Bar instead which was fun.
Pros: Location, interior design, space
Cons: cover charge
