Editorial Review for Sissy K's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Downstairs features a small stage with musicians playing cover tunes seven nights a week, while upstairs resides a small dance club with exposed brick and benches. The night starts with hip-hop and moves quickly into top-40. Expect Sissy's to be crowded enough to give you a good chance of making conversation with a stranger. Cheap drinks make this a favorite of large groups and bachelorette parties.

Sissy k's is a small club, both floors hold under 200 people combined, due to the horse and carriages being parked outside it can smell sometimes like livestock. and the "it's my 21st birthday" vomitting contest is inevitable. I've only been on the weekends so I can't attest to the 40 yr old karaoke singers.. But if you get there before 9pm you won't pay a cover, you have a good chance of getting a table, you'll get at least a couple hours of the $1.50 bud or bud lite, after 10pm cheaper appetizers. There's a guitarist on the first floor and dj on second. The bar is frequented with a mixture of bachelorette parties, birthday parties, tourist and college kids. The crowd gets younger as the nite progresses, and the upstairs crowd is different than downstairs, for lack of better description upstairs is a little cheesier downstairs is more chill. It gets very busy almost always at capacity after 9:30 (but isn't that why you go into Boston) The line gets long and the cover increases as the night goes on... if you like to go to an empty place, drink inexpensive mixed drinks, not wait in line, not be entertained by musicians or people watching, the place for you is your house. People sometimes go to bars to meet other people, Heavens forbid someone actually tries to pick you up in a bar.
Pros: valueif early, live entertainment and dj, location
Cons: because of younger crowd some test their alcohol limits,

Creepy dirty bathrooms, cramped, repulsive food, lousy smell, rodents!, and there isn't much going on. I have been trying to give Sissy K's the benefit of the doubt; I mean they have $1.50 drafts!! But I can't take it anymore. I'd rather spend $10 on a beer than go back to that place. It's even more disappointing that I cannot even have a conversation in there. The manager turns the music up so loud I can't hear myself think, let alone talk to someone. When I politely mentioned this, I was told to just not come back. It's a sad place overall.
Pros: I can't think of 1
Cons: Empty, dirty, rude service, hot, very small, and too loud of music for a bar.
