Delicious food, excellent cocktails, and lively atmosphere! What more can you ask for? I highly recommend the Lamb Dibi!

Bijou is always a wonderful time! Tickets are always available for shows online as well as tables. Been coming here for many years now and they have the best music and soundsystem combined.

I consider this to be the best nightclub in Boston as of early 2020. The venue staff is very polite and well coordinated. That said, prices are high. $30 for entry cover, $14 not including tip for a rum and coke, and $7 for straight soda. $4 per item at coat check. Bartenders are there to be flashy and are not that well trained. The first floor is hip hop and there is a second floor for edm. Management calls them separate venues so if you want to go between floors you have to pay entry again. Make sure to know which line you are in.

The staff and security are generally unpleasant, probably because they have to enforce stupid policies and feel bad about it. Drinks are preposterously expensive. Still, of youre into House, this is reputed to be among the best venues in Boston.

Always have such a fun time, definitely one of the best clubs in Boston. Very friendly environment and great music. The bouncer Joey at the door is so kind & helpful. Must go to if you’re in Boston

Saw Meduza at Bijou on a Friday night and it was a great experience. We got in quick, the energy was high, and everyone had a good time. Drinks are definitely too expensive, but if you drink enough beforehand (definitely did) than it helps. I would recommend going and not judging it based on the reviews from people who are mad about having to pay for covers. Judge it for yourself.

Worst bartenders. They steal your money. The drink was $14, I gave them 4-$5s. No change.. just a smile and moved on. Would have left a $2 tip but instead stole $6. Only got water after that. I work service industry and would never do that. Found out later that was the bar manager...her name is megan..I like to think we are good people but she is not.

I love house and techno more than most and Bijou is able to draw the biggest and best names in Boston so therefore I have tried my best to enjoy myself there, but I just can’t get past the poor layout and quite frankly atrocious sound system. It’s the best club Boston has but that is by no means a compliment. Save your money

DONT DO IT. coat checked my wallet in my coat pocket and at the end of the night it was magically not there. multiple friends witnessed me shoving my wallet into my coat, and after encounters with many unfriendly, rude and overly confident employees (the manager being the worst one), the wallet was found on the floor by the dj. the manager got in my face at the end of the night asking me why i thought i was soooo sure about my wallet and other rude remarks. the situation was handled so disgusting, and they tried to force me to believe that i was just too drunk to remember where i put it (i was sober...). condescending and manipulating. there have been reviews of theft and i did not want to believe them because when does it ever really happen to you but its just funny to me how it was the employees, not even the people there. i will never be returning.

Don’t go there! The coat check staff STOLE my AirPods! If you don’t wanna lose your wallet, AirPods or anything valuable, DONT check your coat there!

Well organized establishment. Great sound, comfortable dance zone, well trained and polite staff. Enjoyed there with friends the Bedouin performance from 10 PM to 2 AM, had pure fun

Good place to drink and dance off the week. Can be sketchy at times

Was charged $35 dollars to get in when others after my group were charged nothing. The drinks are 1% alcohol. Do not waste your money. Thank god for having good friends because this place ruined my birthday experience.

The place is tricky. I went on a house night. The venue is small, security was way too invasive of space they would kill the vibes... drinks are very expensive, and the crowd seemed very confused and lost, they seem to be absolute newbies and don’t know how to party. Now the sound system was pretty good, visuals weren’t too bad. They have seats here and there. Bathrooms were clean and easily available. There weren’t any cute girls (for those of you wondering). And like most places in Boston they close at 2am.There seems to be a quite flexible dress code and a pretty mixed crowd.I’d say I’d only go here if there’s a dj I like that much. Otherwise I know a night at this place sucks.

Thieves. Showed up, no one in the spot. They said it’d be no problem if I took a walk. “Gm” said otherwise when I got back. Save some money and spend with someone who cares about their clients.

GM and head security has a (black) capacity after a certain amount. We sat in line while he let in all the pretty little white women. Mino0rities go elsewhere basically . I was told to try venu

TERRIBLE! Went to the A Boogie wit da Hoodie special night and he didn’t even show up. $25 went to waste

Been going here for over a year upstairs for electronic shows and have always enjoyed it.Security does a good job of keeping out and removing anyone that causes trouble.Drinks and door tickets arent cheap but thats how it is with downtown clubs. Got to pay for everything somehow. If you dont have the money just buy tickets ahead of time and go easy on drinks.I dont know what everyone else leaving the negative reviews is doing wrong... Maybe they are just going to the wrong shows with the wrong crowds? Maybe they arent mature? Who knows.

Small, way overpriced. Get locked in if you show up when doors open at 10. No smoking till 1230. Only 1 beer brand served. Sound not the greatest either. Not impressed at all

Went there early with a group of girl friends to pay $35 to be the only ones standing around in the club lol. Just to find out others paid less to get in. I hope the doormen got yummy snacks with the money they pocketed from us lol.

They made us pay $35 to get in while they didn’t charge others the same price or any price at all. The blonde female manager was rude when we tried to discuss it with her. Goodbye

Incredible night club with beautiful people, great music, and a guaranteed good night. Everyones there to dance and have a good time. Would definitely recommend

Awesome vibe - good crowd. Fun DJs and wild light shows. Will be back, for sure.

Made a 3 hour drive after work to attend Bijou Fridays with Amelie Lens headlining. Totally blown away by the experience, one of the best nights out Ive had in ages. Sound system was awesome. Light show was killer. The vibe, most importantly, was completely off the charts - whole place was packed. Everyone dancing and having a great time. Staff, including the bouncers, were super friendly and professional. This has to be one of the best clubs Ive ever been to - high class with a true underground atmosphere you could feel the love for Techno just emanating from the whole place. Wish you guys all the success in the world, Ill certainly be returning.

HORRABLE. I feel bad for the staff. The poor girls stand around the table and the immigrant staff workers hand out paper towels in the bathroom. There’s NO HOOKAH. Security took my weed even though it’s legal now.(-)4 stars. There are better places to go. This place needs new licensing, management, and owner cause clearly he has no clue how to run a club lmao.

Great djs, pricey tho!

Bijou nightclub is the best nightclub in Boston and in the entire U.S.A. It has the best music. It has the best performers. It has the bartenders. It has the best waitresses. It has the best security. It has the best bussers. It has the best booze. It has the best customers. To 75% of the keyboard warriors out there: when writing dishonest negative reviews about a businesses out of your twisted sense of justice, remember that you live in your mother’s basement. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. If your parents did not raise you correctly, it’s never too late to take personal responsibility for how you have turned out. Look at the way you are living your life. Go outside and get some fresh air, and most importantly, read a book once in a while.

Organized but not overly obtrusive. Classy but not overly snobbish. Hosts performances of good house music. Tends to be focused on quasi-mainstream electronic music rather than more experimental or underground sounds, but it brings in a decent variety and good talent. Good sound system, but not top of the line for a venue of this scale. Stage and room layout are good functionally and acoustically. CO2 cannons are a blast. It can be challenging to weave your way around when its packed, especially with the two rows of VIP tables, but its doable, particularly because security does a decent job of clearing a walking area around the perimeter. Staff are professional but overwhelmingly focused on being efficient over being friendly. Decent selection of liquor, served efficiently, but priced high. For beer, there is only Corona. More choices of beer would be very welcome. It has its drawbacks and areas for improvement, but Ive always enjoyed myself here.

One of the best international nightclub in Boston. They organize a lot of special nights with famous DJ from all over the world. The nightclub is not huge but its guaranteed to spend an awesome night. The coverage is 20 $ and they do serve burger and fries at the end of the night ( not free ).

Bouncers didnt let me in because I had asian flush from a drink from dinner. Felt pretty racist, but I guess I dodged a bullet after looking at the reviews here.

Passed good time

Worst experience I’ve ever had at a club. Bouncer at the front door checking ID tonight 1/12/19 was practically a crackhead. Asbestos on the ceiling so I left after buying my $20 drink DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Definitely a younger crowd

Good sound system, good ambiance, and pulls in great talent on Friday nights. Drinks are on the expensive side, but thats to be expected. The layout is the biggest drawback here, as theres a massive VIP section right in the middle of everything that makes it difficult to move around. You can certainly have a good time here, but you can also tell its one of those clubs designed more to maximize revenues more than provide a great experience for those attending.

Not bad but the staff was a bit rude.

Everytime I go out and come here I am lit, the dj is lit and my night is lit.

Every time I visit Bijou it’s a fantastic night. They consistently bring in outstanding talent, the atmosphere is awesome and their bottle service is great

Bouncer was rude and made up Massachusetts laws! Made us head back to our hotel for passports only to deny us entry for some other made up reason after we came back. Finally decided to let us in and then jacked up the cover to $80 USD. Terrible experience! Highly recommend NOT going to this place. Highly pretentious.

Other than some good djs playing there the bouncers make the place extremely uncomfortable. Not only are they flashing their bright flashlights during the middle of the performances for absolutely no reason but they bump into you and randomly just walk into the crowd. If they were going to approach someone than thats fine, but not once was that their intention. They just walk through the crowd, WITH THEIR FLASHLIGHTS ON, to make their presence felt, which gets really annoying since theyre absolutely everywhere.

If you are looking for a family oriented place, people who take care of you, and want to feel welcomed.....This is the place for you. One of the top, high end clubs Boston has to offer, you feel nothing but safe while partying inside Bijou and dont have to worry about leaving smelling like cigarettes due to the designated smoking area at 12:30 outside the club. If you dont feel like spending the extra cash for the exceptional service, music, Djs and specialty mixed drinks by the bar tenders, then this isnt the place for yu.

Really nice club with great acts on Friday, proper dance music, a quality sound system, and a great night out in Boston!

This is a place not worth the time and money. The music is ordinary the staff especially the bouncers are no good they set there own rules. I have seen rules here that are unique only to this place.Once you get in you cant go out of the club till 12.30 even after paying a cover charge of $30. After 12.30 you can only access a small area outside and cant go beyond that and god forbid if you forgot and left something inside, you have to wait till the club closes down(Unique rules by bouncers).The drinks are overpriced the crowd is what you can get in any other clubs nearby. Bad experience

Extremely unprofessional staff. Door bouncers are ambitiously rude and it seems that they love to racially profile people. A huge NO NO!!!! Way better places to have fun and enjoy a friendly good time in Boston. Stay away and bring your business somewhere else where you will be appreciated as a customer.

This is the worse place to go to if you have any ounce of class left in you. Manager Jay is a complete useless person, everyone at the front desk care nothing about anyone’s experience except their pockets. They make you pay $30 on the worse days and offer absolutely no refunds because they’re junk, complete junk.Their hip-hop is one of the worst. No dress code, most people you’ll find are mostly white looking college kids or dressed like one.

Lit night club with too much emphasis on security

Worst experience of my life. They dont like female presence here, and if you want to pay a high price to get disrespected this is the place for you. Me and the group I was with paid for a table then when we finally did get inside, they said we have to buy an additional $60 ticket. The lights were on almost the entire time and a fight broke out. I went outside to film the main attraction that they had (he was leaving because a fight broke out) and they wouldnt allow me back into the establishment after purchasing a $60 ticket and the table. Never again in my life. I would highly recommend going to a nightclub where your money is valued and also your presence is valued

This club is absolutely unprofessional. It’s one club but two entrances and we were never told of that disparity. When I and 20+ people entered, they never told us and so we paid our 25$ and within 2 minutes of going upstairs and realizing it’s the wrong place they told us we had to go back to the other entrance and pay AGAIN no refunds.The bouncer was basically taunting us saying no refunds after we just walked in and spent absolutely no time at all. After a friend pour a lot of time into speaking with the manager he finally gave us back a refund. Extremely bad first impression of this place. Felt dishonest and unprofessional

Great place if you want to listen to hip-hop on a Saturday night decent size club very square shaped if you are into dancing to reggae this may not be the place for you

Despite all the negative comments on here, still a decent place to go in Boston for some nightlife. No its not Miami, but still reasonable. Only complaints are with bouncers who constantly are wandering through the dance floor, and the $14 drinks. Security isnt that bad, so just sneak in some liquor.

After reading these comments I agree with most people on here. Bouncers set their own rules... we were staying at the W across the street... waited in line for 45 mins watching people get pushed through the line, and even got right to the rope line, yet still watched people get the Vip treatment and walk right past us. Yes, Im a guy...but with two young good looking girls, not like we didnt look the part. Also they informed us cover was 40 bucks...couldnt tell you if it was worth it... seemed like mostly Spanish people. So if youre not Spanish and feel like getting treated like an absolute p.o.s by the funky- dressed unprofessional bouncer, I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely awful. Didnt know what to expect going into this small, gross sad excuse for a nightclub but it truly was a poor experience. Extremely rude staff, completely unorganized (coats were simply thrown on the floor, money fell out of my pockets) overall had no idea how to run a club.

Claptone was out of this world!! We are grateful for the experience!!

Great set way too many people. Still love you black man with the mohawk

Absolutely horrible. Went to go see La Fleur + Sith tonight and was denied because of my casual attire. I wore a black polo shirt, black kilt, and boots; apparently this is not proper casual attire. Nothing was stated on the website about what was approved or not approved as proper casual attire; just listed as casual under their dress code. Very negative and disrespectful bouncers, wouldnt even look at me when i asked them a question. Would never go back, apparently its the bouncers choice if you look good enough to be let in, doesnt matter if you already bought a ticket or not.

Horrible experience. Feel extremely ripped off about the money I spent to go to an event. The website said 18+ three months ago when I bough my tickets, but when I arrived on the date of the show they wouldnt let me in because I am 1 month short of 21. The concert also said it was starting at 7:30, but when we arrived it was actually starting at 10. When I tried to explain to the bouncer the miscommunication he was extremely not understanding. Never have I been treated like such a child and never will this venue receive my business ever again. Extremely disappointed by the rude and apathetic customer service.

The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because they bring some of my favorite artists. Sometimes, I even feel bad for them even coming here to play. Learn to run a club...

Staff was rude and unhelpful. The website is also misleading. Oh and the cover was $100. I wouldnt recommend this place to any one.

Came in on a Saturday night, it was a hip-hop themed night and seems to be so every Saturday here. Aggressive pat down upon entering the club. Apparently vaporizer pens are such a problem at this club that there is a big sign saying how they are not allowed.Someone asked me what the word ratchet meant and it was easy to describe... Look over there I would say, Hes ratchet, shes ratchet, oh and so is that girl with her ass hanging outThis bar played good hip hop but the crowd was mixed and drinks were pricey. The $30 cover charge seemed a little crazy, I would recommend getting on the guest list, its much cheaper. Plan early my friends.

Fun times. Drinks a bit pricy but thats what you get in posh night clubs

The lighting was solid, but everything else was not great. 25 minutes to get in as a ticket holder, ridiculous waits due to people trying to leave for a smoke break, long coat check waits for short lines, and the drink prices are oppressive ($58 for two premium [Stoli] vodka tonics).The entry hallway is far too narrow as an emergency exit. We had an issue entering the main hall as some people were trying to leave and that was enough to prevent anyone from moving.I cant recommend this place. Its not worth the drink money, the sound was oppressively loud and skewed to muddy bass, and if there were any situation that needed people to quickly leave, it couldnt happen.

By far, best sound system in the Boston club scene. The atmosphere is very cool and a great place to see a DJ.

Nice club but dont plan on going out to get some air once you go in. They have very little space to let people out to smoke

Bad experience at this establishment. The staff was very rude and this is a low end nightclub (dont listen to anyone who thinks its not). The drinks were not terribly bad but for the price of $15 per drink you expect more. Avoid this nightclub if you can.

Came here for drinks to celebrate a birthday and everything is just extremely overpriced. The cover is not worth it and the drinks are on par with all the other clubs in the area. Overall there is nothing special here, but I am rating it low because the bartenders are extremely rude.

Starting to get some really good Friday night bookings. Staff is still pretty rude, but less often.

Place was awful. When me and a group of 10 people purchased our tickets for NYE is stated we would get champagne at midnight included. When it became close to midnight, which we only knew because we checked our phones as there were no tvs or anything said about it being close, the staff knew nothing about this. She then began to pour glasses for my friends and I, so I thought they would be complementary, because that is what I was told when I bought the ticket in the first place. That was not the case as I got hit with a $110.00 bill because of this. I do not understand how you could promote something and then not follow it. Id never go back to this place.

Awful Doormen, For Halloween they would not let my friend in with a costume even though it said costumes encouraged. Asked if we had a drink before doors opened at 10:30 pm (who hadnt) and my over honest wife said yes and we both got booted. Terrible place, out $60 and didnt get in the door. If youre going there just lie in general about everything. Wont be going back unless theres an artist I would sell my soul to see.

Worst experience ever. Have been to multiple clubs in Boston and have never been refused service because I had a drawstring bag. But all the females with purses get let in. Mind you purses have multiple places to hid stuff and I only have one spot in the drawstring bag. I get the bag checked and proceed to get pat down than a random guard comes out of nowhere and says bags arent allowed. Sounds like a complete contradiction to me.

I am against writing negative reviews online because as a business owner myself I believe every business makes mistakes and shouldnt be held accountable for every little thing but this place is just dispicabble. My friends and I spent $90 on a ticket for new years and when we arrived around 10:45 there was a line 100 people long. We waited there until 12:30 after the ball had dropped and the line still had not moved. That is like going to a Celtics game and them saying oh you have to wait in line the entire game because we decided to sell too many tickets.I will be going to the BBB and attorney general to try and get my money back. If this helps even one person never go to this horrific establishment I will have done my job. Do yourself a favor and do not give these criminals your money.

Come here for proper electronic music not bullshit top 40 remixes. One of the only decent clubs in Boston

A classy upscale place filled with fun people

The place is a Joke. They tried to revive an old run down club from the nineties and it still looks like that . Extremely rude and unprofessional staff at the door . They tend to forget that people who come there should be treated well. It is very obvious that the people who run it have absolutely no clue how to run a nightclub. One of the bartenders kept giving her friends drinks at my expense ( had a tab open) and when i disputed it the manager ( Dimitri one of the rudest people i have ever met ) said that the drinks are on your bill you obviously ordered them , didnt matter what i said and they wouldt give my card back unless i signed it. So I did but later disputed it with my credit card company . This is no way to do business . You want a nice place where you are treated well go to CURE. Staff are nice and bouncers speak professionally. Forget bijou.

Nice place and friendly workers but overpriced and the music is sub par.

Extremely overpriced. Business built on taking advantage of the lack of clubs in Boston to be sleazy and earn money with sexist principles.

They hold the line to make it appear like the place is packed. The DJ was awesome, pricey drinks. Restrooms were clean.

The new bouncers at Bijou are extremely disrespectful. Yesterday my friend was getting into Bijou with another friend who had a table. She goes frequently as do I. There was a lot of people at the entrance, as per usual, and one of the bouncers pushed my friend to the floor of the sidewalk. His flashlight fell on her face and left her with a swollen lip. She had about 5 witnesses who told her she should tell the police. We decided not to pursue any legal matters but it isnt okay to be treated this way. She wasnt disrupting the peace and women shouldnt be pushed to the ground, let along be bruised by staff. As someone who has been going to Bijou for almost 4 years, Im extremely dissapointed. Guess Ill have to start going to Icon.

We made a previous attempt to go to bijou back in August and had a very similar experience again. We had already purchased tickets online, were forced to wait in line for over an hour in the pouring rain, and we were never let in. More tickets were sold than they were capable of letting in. Also, bijou is the most sexist place I have come across in Boston. One of our other female friends attempted to talk to the bouncer to let us in. He said he would but ONLY us girls, the guys were not allowed. Overall, awful service, unfair, unprofessional, and sexist.

This is my home away from home on the weekend (and sometimes during the week). For house and techno aficionados, Bijou reigns supreme in Boston as a curator of top talent. In just the last year, Ive been to countless shows hosted by the likes of Damian Lazarus, Lane 8, Claptone, Boys Noize, Destructo, REZZ, Sonny Fodera, Hannah Wants, Lee Burridge...among many others.It attracts a diverse crowd including everyone from your fist-pumping Jersey bro, to the aspiring fashionistas and wooked-out club kids.What can you expect for a night out at Bijou, heres a quick and dirty list of my personal pros and cons:PRO:- Talent - this is THE spot in Boston for the best in underground house and techno- Small, intimate club environment compared to Boston music venues like House of Blues, Middle East, Royale and Ascend Nightclub.- Sound - while Im no audio expert, Ive found that the fidelity of sound in Bijou is better than any other venue Boston. They do tend to be louder than other venues so I often bring ear plugs.- Staff - everyone Ive interacted with has been helpful and reasonable. Sure the security staff can come off as stern and imposing but compared to other clubs (*cough* Ascend *cough*) they dont hassle you unnecessarily and are more effective at diffusing potentially contentious situations rather than adding fuel to the flames.CONS:- Drinks - the selection is VERY limited. The only have one beer option (Corona) and the liquor options are a bit to be desired. As a whiskey/bourbon guy, the closest option that matches my preferences is Crown Royal. Also, if youre looking for a cheap night out, this isnt the place for you. Expect to pay $15 for cocktails.- Layout - there are couches and tables in the center of the club for those who reserved bottle service. There are no ropes, stanchions or any other barrier used to segregate those groups from the general audience so it makes for cramped quarters and frustration in the battle for personal space. I understand that these tables are money makers for the club but it is such a drag on the experience for everyone else.

Worst place in BostonLine awfullDrinks expensiveStaff meanTo avaoid!!

Waste of a star; most difficult and exclusive club to get into and its not even that great. Terrible service. Not recommended unless you wish treated like trash.

Awful experience. Honestly, dont waste your time. Bouncers are rude and clearly unhappy with their personal lives. Its dirty, overpriced, and scummy. Go elsewhere.

Great music and great service

Good atmosphere, international music.

Tried giving it a second chance after a terrible first experience since friends wanted to go there for New Years last night, couldve guessed the entire night from my first visit. A group of 15 of us buy tickets and get there around 10:50 to wait in line. The girls that were with us single got in right away, the rest of us are in the same exact spot of the line an hour later so decided to leave as to see the ball at least drop. During our time in line the staff continuously changed their mind on yelling for us to move forward or to back up. Our girlfriends went up to see what the wait was about to the bouncers and they said they could let them in but no guys. Again your staff is sexist and your company is immoral to sell more tickets than the amount of people you can fit inside. There was a good 50 people waiting in line for nearly an hour in the rain to start the new year. No none of us are ever giving you money again.

Worst bar ever. Racist. They didnt even let us im bc one of my friends couldnt speak English

Good club and best DJs

Worst club in New England.

WORST NIGHT EVER!!! Had to stand in line outside, stand in line to get up the stairs, then stand in line to get into the main club area. The staff and security are RUDE!!! I work too hard for my money to give it to anyone or any business who dont respect it or me. You will never get my money, I dont care if Jesus is hosting.

Fantastic music, good clientele, nice venue, very happy!

Very cozy....

Good night club

Agreed With Jake, Do not check your coat very unorganized and very rude. Put a damper on the whole night.

I honeslty didnt like this place. I have been a couple of times thinking it was just a bad night but its just not great in general.

Worst club I ever been to the bouncers are bums, a bunch of disgruntled under paid workers I guess thats what I should expect from a group of uneducated bums. Save your money and time go somewhere else.

Biggest rip off club in the United States of America

The place is not worth it. Very rude people at the entrance and expensive tickets to get in. Music is awful.

I lost a black little purse yesterday, did anyone find it by any chance? 06/25

Nice music venue. Overpriced drinks.

One of the best

Nice place, good environment
