The Alley Bar
This veteran gay bear leather cruise bar is hidden away in downtown, providing cheap drinks, dancing, and an unpretentious atmosphere. Recurring parties like “Fuzz†and “Casual Fridays†draw a very manly and cruisy crowd, and popular local DJs play an eclectic soundtrack from Top 40 to artsy indie pop. Craft beer, lively music, karaoke, pool, and most importantly lots of men make The Alley Bar a hidden gem.
Boston Eagle
The Eagle is one of Boston's oldest gay bars and remains pretty much unchanged. It has a gritty and rough around the edges yet charming vibe that has kept people coming back for decades, and a perfectly eclectic interior. The bar attracts a largely male and leather crowd but there's no dress code and everyone is welcome to visit this institution for a reliably unpretentious and classic pub experience.
