T T The Bear's Place Inc - (617) 492-0082

I went here on the 2nd friday of the month for gothic dance night and I was really impressed. This was a nice bar with a mixed friendly crowd (all ages and nationalities). The staff were friendly and the djs played a nice variety of dance music. This is a place for everyone, with a dance floor, pool tables, and a space away from everything for talking.

This is a great place. There is so few "dive" rock clubs left. Back in the 80's & 90's the city was full of little rock clubs where bands could play original music and people could just drop in and see something new or different for an affordable price. This is a great area to go - you can also visit The Middle East for much of the same music. By the way BostonBeer you must have been a real pain in the @#$ to get thrown out . Maybe you should just stick to the Lansdowne street bars and their $ 20 $ cover and six buck a beer. Keep on rockin ...

I go there because I want to watch a band that plays there. It is 18 and over, and I'm 32. Show ID and such, but decline to be stamped. Then I have this weirdest and nastiest conversation with the barman, that since I'm over 21, I MUST drink alcohol, and since I am not stamped I CANNOT. So they call security on me! I could not believe it, since the place was empty and had not atmosphere, and they could hardly afford to lose any customer. The guy spent 3 mn lecturing me, when in 3 s he could have checked my ID. Totally ridiculous. I got a refund of my cover, so I came out on top: saw the lousy hole it was for free. Do yourself a favor: just avoid the place.
