-- Why do all clubs in Boston close at 2am?
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

yeah boston's not like new york. u can't try any pizza and expect it to be decent. most of it is total bready crap. a few places are good. keep ernesto's, the upper crust, or regina's (north end only) in mind if you want GOOD pizza.

The European in the North End had the best pizza I've ever had in Boston but it closed a few years ago

combination of no 5htp, faced from 2:30AM till 6AM, and not much sleep, plus not great pizza im guessing lead me to not liking it lol

then again i was just filling the need for nutrients at that point lol

LOL people in Boston just want a reason to get drunk & cause problems...

All because of the riots that were on Northeastern campus when the Pats first won the super bowl in 2002. Ever since that, every chance college kids had a chance they would go drunk into the streets trying to flip over cars. And almost everytime that happened someone got killed.

And no one really even cares what team won, as long as they can do that...


& rise is a prety crappy excuse for a club... Maybe they will realize if they had a decent afterhours place that it would attract more decent people & djs... But probably not.

Rise was runner up for best afterhours...Pretty crappy

I guess Chris Fortier, Luke Fair, Paolo Mojo, Seb Fontaine, Christopher Lawrence, Roger Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia, Sean Cusick, Max Graham, Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Steve Porter are pretty crappy for djs that have spun there

I wouldn't care if it was first...

The club is in the shape of an L

The lighting sucks
The sound absolutely sucks

The only good thing about rise is sitting on the couches in the lounge area.

porter is a resident, but how many of them were back after they played?

BTW. Sorry to interject, but... did you know that in LA (that's right, LA), all clubs and bars must also stop serving alcohol by 2? I just found this out.

Incredible. The US is really behind the times.

In some godforsaken village somewhere in Holland or Estonia or Bulgaria, clubs stay open and serve alcohol till 5-6 and there are no restrictions on alcohol to speak of.

Luke Fair has been back several times and is coming back June 23rd and Fortier is coming back in the summer.

Paolo Mojo has played there twice and is probably coming back soon for his balance tour. Chus and Ceballos are there Friday and frequent there. Low End Specialists are always there and DFuse is a quarterly resident. The other big names would be back more frequently but their booking fees are usually high and rise isn't that big.

Gabriel and Dresden are there next Friday...

Not to mention theres an om monthly party there....

Ie. Fred Everything,Kaskade, Dj Heather

That has nothing to do with how good rise is...

Yes it does. You said they dont attract good djs which is incorrect.

Rise attracts good djs...has a good vibe which matters most....The sound is decent for the room size and the lighting is pretty good. It's not for posers

It's not only the US. I believe UK bars had the same 2AM deal up until a few weeks ago. I do agree that it is ridiculous though...

well, the US, UK, Australia and Canada have pretty much the same culture (give or take a few minor points)

So these restrictive attitudes are indeed observed not only in the US but also in the other English-speaking countries.

My post referred to continental Europe.

Don't mind Lee, he's just pissed he can't see PVD every single week. Sorry Lee, you can't lick his balls in the DJ booth this time. RISE is not your typical club, the owners preach EDM music and they've had some big name DJs come spin. It's more of an intimate setting, not your typical big martket establishment.

Boston is a wonderful city. Great young college crowd and of course, the redsox. A lot of tradition here and the opportunity for post-grad work is excellent.

I dated a girl for a while who lived in New York, although it's a fun city to visit, I would never live there. I personally think NYC is mad grimmy but hey, to each there own.

It's a pretty lame generalization to think that ALL college kids from Boston are rich, or their families come from wealth. I worked my ass off to pay my way through college. Majority of kids take out loans, and that's just not in Boston. I'm sure not a lot of people can pay $30-$40k per year for 4 years or more.

They have 2am curfew here for a reason. Just look at all the tabloids surrounding nyc clubs, it all revolves around drugs. Don't get me wrong, i've had some of the best times clubbing in nyc all cracked-out but it's an obvious problem that the city is trying to address. Some of you may see it as a blessing that NYC clubs are open so late but whether you admit it or not, it's not always a good thing when the youth of NY are out till 7am getting fucked up.

i think the 2am law here in boston has more to do with the city's long existing "blue laws" carried over from england after the revolution that have been on the books for over a century - not so much the presence of the universities. also, rise is able to stay open past 2am because its a private club - no public club would be able to stay open past 2am, even if they wernt serving liquor. in alot of ways, boston is a very small city - which makes it both enjoyable and annoying in different ways. its useless to compare it to nyc in any way... its like comparing apples to oranges.

The UK definitely doesnt have the same 2AM deal. Well at least that's not the case in London. I have definitely stumbled out of a club at 5am in London with the bartenders still serving...and a lot longer ago than a few weeks.

That still has nothing to do with the fact that Its not that great of a place, its just the only place.

add NJ to the list. same bs 2am law, sometimes the bars close @ 1am
