Bijou Nightclub

the waiter withheld my card until she was satisfied with my tip. Charged me 18 dollars per shot and was extremely rude. Would never come again.

Had a really great time here until the bouncers asked a friend of mine to get some air for a few minutes outside because he was seemingly drunk, I walked out with my friend and realized we should probably leave so I asked the bouncers to go back inside to close my tab and grab my roommates and they wouldn’t allow me inside. Kept telling me to call my friends as if they’d hear a phone call in a club. I was the only female, being completely disregarded by 4 bouncers all at once. Finally the eldest bouncer, with freckles, used his walkie talkie to reach my friends and close my tab after I begged them for 20 minutes to just let me close out. It was clear I was well intended, just helping out a friend and I was completely disregarded and ignored. Bouncer was also physical with my friend, pushed him. These dudes were completely misogynistic, unhelpful, disrespectful, and had no empathy.

Definitely an experience. It’s great to say you’ve been, especially if you’re doing bottle service! The waitresses are super dedicated to making sure you have the time of your life with full service! It is a vibe and the dj does an exceptional job of catering to everyone with his diverse selection of music! Worth the experience if you’re visiting Boston☺️☺️

after experiencing multiple club experiences in the boston area, bijou is honestly the only one that consistently satisfies. sure drinks can be pricey but so are the drinks anywhere in boston these days so for me, it might as well be somewhere i know i’ll have a good time. had rebecca as our bottle girl the last couple of times my friends and i have gone and she’s always pleasant and always adds to the experience, having fun but remaining professional. 10/10 would recommend a night out at bijou if you’re looking to dance and have some fun! :)

Absolutely awful experience. Came to boston for my bday and wanted to go dancing - Bijou was the easiest option. $40 cover charge for an empty club at 10:30pm on a SATURDAY. My husband and I paid $80 total before even getting to the bar and refused to even get drinks based on the cover fee. Everyone who works there seems super uncomfy and awkward for whatever reason. Do NOT recommend!

I love that the venue is small, somewhat casual (not posh or upscale) and more of a rock venue vibe in appearance, and audience can connect better to the DJs. Bijou hosts many international DJs that are lesser known, but good. At the shows I have been to, there has been a balanced and diverse crowd, people, fashion, and ages. I have gone alone many times and have never been harassed. There aren’t many seating areas other than a small VIP area and it can get really crowded.

Cons:
My biggest complaint is the drinks are terrible!!! The beer choices are also ridiculously bad. Is there even a choice? I think it was Bud and Corona. It doesn’t make sense to me.

There are too many vapers. I am shocked how many there are and that weird smell really get into your clothes and probably your own lungs. Bijou needs to ban vaping in the main area and enforce it. I saw a group of 5 or 6 young women in a ring all vaping in unison like it was “cool”…. Nothing classy about that.

My other slight annoyance is it is difficult to see the DJs if you are close to the front—there is a big wall. I realize it is probably for safety and to be visible from back of room, but some effort could be made by the venue to make it look a bit less rustic.

That said… I still like to go there. I definitely go for the DJs I am familiar with and love, hence, the 4 stars. I think it is a reliable place if you are fine with lower expectations, lesser known DJs and just want to dance.

Got there early and bought tix at the door, service and security were very friendly and felt safe and comfortable. Music was fun. The djs I went for came out pretty late, at 12.30am, I expected the set to be a bit longer
