Great place, fabulous drinks, good music & fun times :)!

Felt Boston is a great place to go whether it is at the Restaurant & Lounge or if you're looking to dance the night away at the Nightclub. They also off Billiards as well on the 2nd and 3rd Levels. Overall my experience here has been fine and I always have a great time when I visit. The staff and managers are very welcoming and nice also. I would highly recommend this as a party spot or if you were looking to also kick back and relax, too many. Either way Felt is a great place that offers something for everyone!

• Pros: 4 Levels, Good Music, Fun, Moderate Pricing
• Cons: Did not really have any problems...

A friend had told me about Felt. So absent of some of the reviews me and some of my freinds decided to go last saturday night. It was a awesome! The music was great the food was good too.. I guess there is new managment there so maybe thats the difference. We'll be back.

• Pros: Staff, Drinks, Billards

great night club

by carlong at Citysearch

A group of us celebrate my birthday at Felt on Saturday night and it was awesome! We booked a VIP table on the fourth floor, the club floor, and it was totally worth it. We had a blast, the staff was excellent and the music was awesome. We are already planning another night out there.

Great party place

by maryannesienne at Citysearch

Well, I'm a bit surprised at some of the comments on this because I went to Felt recently and had probably one of the best times in Boston I've had in a long time.

I went there for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with 10 friends and had the night pre-arranged with one of the managers--(Todd I think?). We had reservations for dinner and then a nightclub package to go upstairs. Now...1) Most places in Boston don't even offer the options Felt offers; 2) dinner ambiance was great--they had an 80s band playing that night so it was kinda cool to have some extra entertainment; 3) going to the nightclub was smooth, no problems; 4) my waitress was excellent! It was a bit crowded but didn't have to wait for drinks at all. 5) one of the bouncers at the end of the night got me and my girlfriend a cab because we were a bit tipsy by the time we left.

So overall people, I would stop the complaining...yeah the place is expensive, and of course like any club there will be issues that come up...but you are after all in a club, and you do live in Boston you know!!! I guess everyone's experience is different but it's only fair to attest that mine was AWESOME!

• Pros: lots of options, great scene, nice interiors
• Cons: stairs, lots of them

fun and trendy

by sancarr at Citysearch

We went to Felt for a private party set up by our office with the events coordinator and everything from beginning to end was perfect. We booked the entire third floor which had pool tables, a private bar, and a buffet table set up just for us. The various appetizers were delicious, the waitresses and managers were friendly and accomodating which contributed to the trendy social atmosphere of the club. I had never been before this party, but I would definitely go back with a group of friends to check out the scene and enjoy all the ammenities it has to offer.

We went there for dinner on a Thursday night. Great atmosphere whether for a first date with wine and excellent food, a girl's night out with drinks and appetizers, or an after work drink with a co worker. It was a restaurant that catered to various occasions with a low lit bar, plasma tvs, and music at the right sound level for once. The service was efficient and friendly and the grilled shrimp cocktail and lobster ravioli were just two of our delicious choices from the sophisticated menu. Highly recommended.

worst new year's party!!!

by almeida508 at Citysearch

After looking up online for a New Year's party we found Felt's online add .The ticket costed 60 dollars, however, the club offered 2 hours of sushi and champagne toast all inclusive . The advertisement looked quite promising - the music choice would be: electronic ,techno, trance ,dance,and everything else but hip hop or rap. Finally, after a long wait we got in and the first floor did not look so bad, however, after going to the second floor the place looked like a cheap pool table lounge. We came back down stairs and paid 50 dollars for four of the worst drinks that made myself look stupid for spending that much money for a lame drink that had taste of regular soda. I spoke to some waitresses and asked about the sushi and they said they would start serving it soon, however , until the end of the party I did not see even one plate going out.. On the second round of drinks (another 50 dollars), we have to change our drinks to vodka since the bartender could not find the whiskey bottle , and by the way, we had to purchase extra shots of vodka because the drinks did not have any in it .That night not only I was unsatisfied with the bar service but bunch of other people around me were constantly asking to have their drinks fixed making me realize how abd bad the drinks were .

After a couple of hours of disappointment we decided to go and speak to the DJ to change the hip hop music to something more festive . Our attempts were ignored by the DJ-girl ( it seemed like she didn't know what is going on that night)until one of the doorman who felt probably really bad for the crowd's disappointment. He started up with a few nice " club" songs and wormed up the crowed, but than when he had to take off the previous girl messed up all the music setup again - very poor performance as a DJ. By midnight the countdown was followed by another rap song and no champagne toast.

Thank you Felt for the worst New Year's Eve in my life experience!!!!!!

• Pros: When is time to leave the place...
• Cons: All of it!!!

The Leather District's fashionable pool hall and lounge draws mix-and-mingle scenesters.

by Eric Grossman at Citysearch

The Scene
Felt's 14 colorful pool tables and New York-style lounge bring out hustlers of all stripes. Located just around the corner from the Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common, just as many people come here to take in the scene as they do to shoot pool. The bar's plush decor and playful lighting fixtures create a unique feel. Slinky cocktail waitresses do their best to not interfere with anyone's shot.

The Draw
The pricey, stylish pool tables are spread over the second and third floors, make this the hippest place to play in the downtown area. Several bars are set up among Felt's four floors, and some patrons enjoy dinner service or appetizers. The house menu has a nouveau riche feel, with designer salads and pizzas available. The third-floor balcony gives those waiting to shoot a chance to spy on the games (and people) below.

Hot waitresses/bartenders... and... thats it.

by joebuck25 at Citysearch

I have been to Felt a handful of times and each of those times have greatly admired the bartenders. I should have taken the time to look around and notice the crowd (or lack thereof). In the 5 times I went there, the last being 2 weeks ago, there was no consistency. A month ago I walked in and they had satellite radio playing (which can have cool music) but the signal kept going in and out!! It was so annoying! Another time there was a DJ playing a terrible inconsistent mix of music (I actually preferred the patchy satellite radio). We changed floors and paid a cover charge to go into their club which was barely 1/3 full and was FREEZING.

The first time I was there in the spring of '07 I thought it was as advertised, upscale and trendy, and it was some kind of social event that or professional group but my friends and I haven't had a good time there since. We gave it several chances, but we won't be back. It's expensive, they serve weak drinks, and it's more likely a to be a bad than good night as far as good looking people. It's out of the way, and tough to go elsewhere by the time you realize it's a bad night.

• Pros: good looking bartenders that can't bartend
• Cons: bad area, not consistent atmosphere/music/vibe, expensive parking, isolated
