Despite growing up in Cambridge, I went to the Havana Club for the first time last weekend. I…read morearrived a bit late for the lesson, but was able to slip in and unfortunately ended up at the intermediate lesson when I should have been at advanced beginner or something less complicated. There are dancers of all ages, which is very cool, and the leaders who were forced to dance with me seemed to be understanding, even though I am an awful dancer. I guess everyone is a beginner at some point! I hope to go back and improve my skills!

Very nice community club for social dancing (don't come here if you have a partner who is jealous…read moreand won't allow you to dance with others). Music is upbeat, lots of free water at the bar and free coat check. They also have salsa and bachata classes before social dancing time starts luz.

Rarely have I ever had to stop a server to ask for refills, had to every time. Pizza was decent but nothing to write home about. Burgers came out a solid 10 minutes after the pizza and cold like someone forgot about them. Burger was kind of flavorless, the Phoenix. Burger "fried onion" was an onion ring.

Live music upstairs and a poetry slam downstairs. Visit if you're new to the area or revisit if you haven't been in a while. It will not disappoint. Except maybe the old school bar bathrooms!

The name is so because it's actually built in a tunnel that you can see when you walk downstairs. The drinks were fine but the DJ was a little boring after an hour.

The most racist experience I've had in Boston. My friends and I attended emo night, and the…read morebouncers were extremely rude and singled my friends and I out (a group of mostly POC) and excluded us from coming in. There was no written notice of a mandatory dress code and we were turned away and rudely dismissed when we questioned why we couldn't get in. All because we weren't dressed "emo enough" according to them, which is completely arbitrary and goes against the anti-establishment spirit of being emo.

For 5 bucks, I received a huge ego boost and a greater understanding of why Boston loves to dance! A word to dates: if you come here with a special someone, expect that you and your partner will dance with other people. Don't worry: it's nothing personal! After the lesson, the studio turned into an open dance featuring live music from Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five, an amazing swing band from Philadelphia! The floor was jumping and everyone was having a blast cutting a rug. I personally asked to dance with several people and was surprised to find how gracious and encouraging they were in accepting and subsequently dancing with my square self. The dancers here are very courteous and interested in the improvement of everyone in the club. The snacks and water were provided in copious amounts. The community is strong in this one. I'll be back, Blues Union, and I'll be bringing more people who are interested!

DJs, instructors, people who can bake, and dancers of all skill levels come together to have fun in each others' company for an evening. If you don't know how to dance, or come from out of town and don't know anyone, people will go out their way to dance with you and get to know you. If you're already an experienced dancer, people will recognize that and be happy to explore a shared passion with you.

I came in here and the place was not too busy, music at a nice level and was very clean. My server came over immediately and I gave him my drink and food order: Guinness and Corned Beef & Cabbage. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my Guinness and then about another 25 minutes to get my corn beef and cabbage. Yes, I was happy with the Guinness and have to do it now that's the corned beef and cabbage tasted excellent. My only complaint about the food is that I only got three strips of corned beef and was charged $24. WTF! Three strips! Yes, the flavor was good, but that portion was insulting. So like I said initially, it's what you're coming here for.

I went here for my birthday and it was great! The food was delicious and we loved the live music…read more We went to another section of the place later in the night to dance and had so much fun. I'd recommend it and definitely make sure to get a reservation; especially if you plan on staying for the evening as a huge line was outside by the middle of our meal.
