One of My Favoritesss
by krocodiletearz
The Decor is amazing. It has so much detail and thought put into it... there is absolutely nothing else like it in Boston.. it's classy and funky... i can't even give an accurate description that would do it justice.
The crowd is different each night... like with every other place in the world. There are always beautiful people... and you will most likely run into a celebrity or 12... but everyone can enjoy themselves at District.. you just need to check out the particular night that is best suited for you.
- Pros: decor, layout, food, crowd
- Cons: sometimes the crowd
Do not go there!
by court130
Went there on a Wednesday for my friends birthday. The place was empty until about 1am and then the crowd started to get a little rough. The only reason I stayed was because my friends were all there. Then this drunk guy came over to put the moves on me and my friend and literally sat on my drink, spilling it all over me. One of the guys I was with confronted him about it and he was the one to get kicked out?? Then I went to say something to the guy about it and my friend and I got kicked out!!?? I had had only two drinks that night including the one the guy knocked over. This manager who had not even talked to me previously is trying to tell me I'm drunk. How would he even know anyway, this being the first time we had talked?? I just left because I was not going to cause a scene but I have never been so angry. I work as a manager in hospitality and whoever this manager is he clearly does not know how to do his job. Ladies, if you want to be accosted on by thuggish, unattractive, drunk men, get your drink spilled all over you and then get kicked out, by all means enjoy. Guys, if you want to hang out with a crowd of mostly guys, few attractive women have a blast. I will defiantly take my business elsewhere.
- Pros: none
- Cons: terrible staff/management, bad crowd
Never again!
by Lauraandover
Went here on a Friday night (apparently not a good night..unless all nights are as empty) for a friend's birthday. Paid too much for a table and bottles with few mixing options and horribly flat tonic water! The music was bad and though I approached the DJ many times he only played the song I asked when the lights went on at the end of the night. He said something about not being allowed to switch up the playlists but wouldn't you want to make the customers happy?? Won't be going here again!
- Cons: bad music, not so good service
extremely rude staff
by bostoniagirl
I've been to District a couple of times, and all I can say is OVERRATED. The music isn't very good (I'm no even sure that the have a DJ.) But most of all, the staff is incredibly rude. The bouncers are complete a-hole's to say the least. It's surprising to see who they let in and who they kick out. This is not worth the wait in line. Not to mention its a terrible location.
- Pros: decor at the bar
- Cons: staff, music, clientel
DO NOT HERE!
by louxie
Awful place, filled with thugs, fights going on constantly, bad food, bad drinks, CHEESY decor. They have a fake velvet rope to make you think the spot is so desirable, but it's not. Avoid like the plague! I would have chosen Zero stars if I could.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: ALL
Awful - do not go here
by Boston1980
Awful food, horrrrrrrrible service, nasty crowd. Too bad too because the atmosphere is pretty cool. Also, is it neccessary to have a matron in a 2-stall bathroom?!? Do not order food here!!! We were brought the wrong food and it was so disgusting..flat bread pizza consisted of a bunch of slopped onions on a cracker. The spring rolls were so gross too, tasted like leaves. Weak drinks too! I would NEVER go back.
- Pros: ambience
- Cons: service, crowd, food
Worst club in Boston- DO NOT waste your time!!!!!!
by esb525
I went to District Saturday night with 4 other girls. I was immediately turned off the second I walked in the door. The people were trashy the service was awful. The kicker was this, I went to the bathroom, maybe 15 minutes after getting there. After I was finished some girl who worked there grabed me by the arm, and told me I had to leave. NO REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked why and what the issue was she just said I had to go. She pushed me outside to the sidewalk. I was irate. I was not able to tell my friends - who were worried and wondering where I was- besides the fact I was outside in the cold in a shady shady neighborhood. I have never been treated like this before. I am still dumbfounded today as to why this happened. It is my mission to make sure people do not go to this awful awful club. I did end up talking to the manager at the end of the night - he didn't even care. DO NOT GO TO DISTRICT - Its disgusting, rude, and trashy!!!!
- Pros: there is nothing good....
- Cons: too many t
Worst club in boston
by abigamow
Extremely over rated. I have lived in Boston for a few years and had heard District to be an elite, celebrity club. However upon arrival I noticed they admitted everyone and anyone. So girls or guys, if your worried you might not make the cut, believe me have no fears! There truely are no standards as the previous reviews seemed to lead on. The service was awful and as far as an elite crowd, I believe the college crowd at Aun Tua Nua has more celebrities then this place. The girls pacing at the entrance when I arrived were dressed more like prostitutes then sophisticated sensual women with there bras and underwear showing. Not worth the taxi drive and certainly not worth your time. There are far better clubs in Boston then to waste your time with this place.
- Pros: honestly none
- Cons: bad service, over priced, old music
Horrible experience at District!!
by bostonrahul
A few of my friends were meeting at District last night, so I went there with a couple of my buddies. All three of us are South Asian and we were relatively well dressed.
We reached early and found parking right next to the door. There was no line outside.
As we reached the door, the bouncer folded his arms and said "Sorry, there's a private party tonight."
We were surprised since two of our friends - both white guys - were already inside. We tried to call them out, but they couldn't hear their phones over the music.
We landed up going to Beehive instead, finally got through to our friends inside District and they came to Beehive to join us. They confirmed that District had been practically empty and that there was no 'private party' going on.
This is disgusting behavior in this day and age. I hope that the attitude of District's bouncers does not reflect the attitude of its management.
Holy blowouts
by hattyK
this place is a nightmare. From the fake line out front of 6 people (with no one inside) to the terrible drinks and service. I felt ripped off. And every 18 year old guy in there had the same blowout hair. not what I wanted.
- Pros: none
- Cons: everything
