Boston Rocks

Went here for my friend’s bachelorette party a number of years ago, and it was okay — nothing too good nor bad to say about it.

This place is a joke, and I almost want to feel bad for them.
The location is absolutely horrible. It’s up on the second floor of Quincy Market almost hidden away from the wonderful foot traffic right below. They’ve tried everything to drum up business. You can get a good deal to rent the place out. The big kicker is — the comedy show right next door, when they let you out, empties right into this place. It’s like leaving a nice restaurant and then hassled by homeless people asking for money. This place has no style or character and there are 50 other ground-​level bars around waiting for your business. Go there instead.

I’m going to echo Kirsten N’s sentiments – «Boston Rocks! This club does not.»
Granted, I went here my senior year of college, post-​ballet (yep, I like to mix high and low culture) and proceeded to get wasted, but even in that state I could see that I would never, ever enjoy a place like this sober. The crowd was full of the Boston equivalent of «bridge and tunnel» people and men who are way too old to be in clubs trying to pick up 19 year olds.
This was also the first time I experienced the hell on earth that is trying to get a cab in Faneuil Hall at 2 AM. Never again.

If I remember correctly, I came here for an alumni thing. It was nice to see alumni, but this place is, well, exactly as everyone else described. Top 40 music, kind of boring, tough to get to the bar, all of the things one should expect, nay, DEMAND, from their Boston dance bars.
On top of all of this (usually the standard for bars like this) the dance floor wasn’t hopping (it was more, people standing around, which I was fine with). It’s a kind of small place too, which doesn’t help in terms of dancing. And there isn’t much in the way of seats/​sitting down areas.
It was interesting, but not enjoyable.

This place is horrible. They won’t keep tabs open, so everything has to be cash unless you are buying $ 35 or more in drinks each time. This place is very sketchy an no fun. Do not go to this place… There are a lot better places to go in Boston.

Boston Rocks! This club does not. Sketchy, Sketchy, Scary!
First sketchy was for the funny smell that was reminiscent of vomit near the bar. Worst part is this smell was there before the club got packed.
Second sketchy is for the forty year old men who kept looking me and my friend up and down and then trying to brush past us to cop a cheap feel!
Scary is a tie between the woman who looked eerily like Hatchet Face from John Water’s Crybaby who was dancing near us & the 300+ lb woman wearing a skintight red lace and velour baby phat (not kidding you) jumpsuit grinding with some 100 lb guy.
The only reason we ended up here is … it was after game six of the Bruins playoff and we met up with some friends after the game and they were wearing bruins attire not nightclub wear. But needless to say we were all in a celebratory mood and wanted to do some dancing. Two stars is because there was no line to get in. I hate lines. Still it is not worth going back too.
By the way by the end of the night red jumpsuit woman was making out with 100LB man. At least she had a good night!!!

This place is so sketch. The only reasons anyone ever goes in here are: a. because there is a line everywhere else and it is too effing cold outside to wait or find another place or b. you have no idea wtf you are doing, you just fanieul hall was «the» place to go out, and this is smack dab in the middle of the action, the music is blaring, the name is Boston Rocks, this must be the place to be right? WRONG.
The weirdest group of people ever can be found in here. Old women and drunk frat guys grinding on eachother, people who may or may not be gang members crowded in a corner just waiting to kick some ass, and about 70 greaseball jabronis with their chesthair sticking out while they get down to some 50 cent and try to air hump anything that walks by. No thanks.
JAGER BOMBS JAGER BOMBS JAGER BOMBS— is all i have to say.

$ 5 cover for a non-​dress to impress crowd. Rocks has a decently sized dance floor, although I don’t really utilize it since I’m not much of a dancer. I usually go on Saturday nights, and it’ll be packed by 11ish. Music on Sat will consists of top 40, and that’ll get the crowd going. My only major complaint is what appears to be an understaffed or very inattentive bar. Unless you’re good at being a jerk and can squeeze between people and reach halfway into the bar to get the bartender’s attention, you won’t be getting what you want in a timely manner. Beers are average prices, shots seemed like a little higher than average, but then again, I was already a bit tipsy.
I’ve yet to check out Ned Divine’s (The bar/​club down the other side of Quincy Market), but I’ve heard good things. They usually have a line whereas Rocks doesn’t.

The name says it all. Located on the top floor of the Quincy Market Place, Boston Rocks had a great variety of Hip Hop and R&B on a Friday night. This place really kept me dancing all night long! Drinks were decently priced, around $ 7 and were made correctly!
The only downside of Boston Rocks is that it is small! There aren’t many leather booths to take a break and once the club was packed it was so cramped that you can’t really help it if you’re elbowing your neighbor. Get here early because I left around 1:15 am and there was still a line of 100 people waiting to get in — give it up and go home.
Restrooms: On the second floor part of the Quincy Market Place, these RR make you wish that you brought some antibacterial with you. With little gnats flying around all over the place, how’s a girl suppose to go?
