Bijou Nightclub 51 Stuart Street, Boston, MA 02116

"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."

"This place was a total disaster for me and my friends. I was in Boston for the weekend so my friends said let's try out this place. It was sold out. But they said they will give us a standing section, so we agreed. But when we bought the bottle. They told us we won't have a server to our standing section, that we are to come to the bar to be served anytime we wanted to refill. It wasn't what I expected. So we had to leave. But for other sections that had servers, they were having a good time. And it was packed with too many Teens( or maybe in their early 20's), my observations."

"Club were great!! Im here right now! Music is nice but dude! Indian people smell bad!! Come on! The smell is too stronger guys. Woow, pls don’t do this. Wear some cologne for God sake. My night is gone and I had a horrible hearache There is nothing to do with race; it is a fact! Perfume exists for a reason: to cover up bad smells. Why do you have 'clean scents in your restroom'? To cover up human urine smells? Should I feel disrespected because of this? While in a venue shared with more people, I expected to have my 'personal space' respected as well. Unfortunately, Indian people do smell bad—a stronger smell that, for sensitive people like me, gives me a headache and makes me nauseous. I'm not in India, so the best common sense is good hygiene"

"This place is the biggest SCAM in Boston. We were recommended to come and there was a $40 cover charge and the place was EMPTY at midnight. What a joke. The staff here is extremely rude. Watch out for the door guy in the video. He tried pushing us around and we weren’t making any scene & were sober. That’s why I started recording"
