Best Gay Bar Cambridge Near Me

Kevin Hess: Horrible experience. My friend and I ordered a drink each. After enjoying our drinks for a while, a plate of food arrived in front of us that we had not ordered. Not even 10 seconds later, a gentleman arrived behind us and started chatting with us. He was clearly interested in us, be we politely made it clear we were not interested. After receiving our bill, we realized the food we had not ordered was listed on our tab. We questioned the bartender and he immediately insisted food was ordered by my friend. This was a straight lie and he knew it because he refused to make eye contact for the remainder of our stay. Funny enough, the gentleman whom had originally been interested in us came back over and started flirting with us again. I asked him if he had ordered the food for us, and he admitted he had. I called him out on the fact that the bartender said we had ordered the food, and he started acting really weird saying he owned the bar. He went back to his seat, and I called the bartender back over. I explained the guy had admitted to ordering the food on our behalf, and the bartender was immediately angered and said he would pull the video footage of us ordering the food. At this point we were uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. We closed our tab (with the cost of the food included) and left. As we were leaving the guy whom sent the food was watching us leave. The bartender continued to make no further eye contact.The whole experience was uncomfortable, and deceptive at best. The bartender was the younger of the two, and I regret not bringing the issue up with the older bartender or security. This whole ordeal happened on 4/12/23 around 9:00pm. I hope the younger bartender can be made accountable, the bar was otherwise okay.

gio gio: The best!

Sylvia De Jesus: Horrible

BLUF 4273: I went on Valentine's night this year, thinking I'd find a lively atmosphere. What I found was grim. The two bartenders were in faded T-shirts, stretched neck elastic, dirty jeans, and unkempt beards. They looked unappealing for the look a business in a city center should have.The music from the jukebox was depressing. I expressed my disappointment to the person beside me; his response was more disappointing. He told me to play my music, that Valentine's Day was a straight day, and that he was running away from the atmosphere that night. In other words, it was like telling me: "if you want to party, bring your music to the bar." Excuse me!Shouldn't business owners strive to create the best atmosphere on special days to attract clientele? Not even a red underwear party. I finished my drink, asked for the bill, and left. I preferred to go home because I said, "If that's the atmosphere at Alley, I better not waste time with others." The $10 I spent on a single drink, I’d have spent on a bottle of wine.The Alley Bar survived the pandemic duller and less dynamic, and they take their clientele for granted.

Omar Chavez Yanez: Really is my first time in Boston and I hear good thing about thos bar but the black guy to taking care of the stairs was so rude man that is insane

Christian Butterworth: A really friendly, welcoming bar that my Husband and I stumbled upon. Staff were very attentive, and the other customers were friendly and chatty. Good selection of beers on tap, and the prices were reasonable too! A great bar for LGBTQ+ travellers to Boston!

Ture Richard Turnbull: Fun place, stiff drinks

Jason Stankiewicz: The Alley Bar Boston is a warm and inviting place for members of the LGBTQ+ community. It is a bar that celebrates diversity and inclusion, creating a safe and friendly atmosphere for all. The staff is welcoming and accommodating, making sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Whether you're looking for a place to hang out with friends, dance, or just have a good time, The Alley Bar Boston is the perfect spot.

Jordan Upchurch: Very local oriented gay bar. Solid group of customers and workers. I received great service and good food and beverage. Highly suggest Karoke on Sunday nights!

Jay Dupont: This is a fun place, definitely one of my favorite bars in Boston. Great for a drink after work and meet new people. New year's eve is typically a lot of fun and dancing. Also it should be noted, their bathrooms are some of the cleanest in Boston.

Will Rhodes: So great. If you're cool don't miss it. If you're lame, get lost.

mycol mateo: 👎👎👎👎

Rob Murley: Ignorant old man at the door accusing me and my bf of being under 21 (both over 25 with scannable id’s) barely any seating and an overall terrible atmosphere

Andrew D: What a great place to visit. We were here last Saturday and we had a very welcoming reception. The staff was fantastic, they offered us a place to sit at the bar, everything was perfect. While sitting at the bar we met some local guys, and a guy from Ireland, everyone was very welcoming, and easy to talk to. We laughed and had great conversations. It was our first time at The Ally Bar, can’t wait to go back.

Skip Matthew: Friendly men !

Ben Geravesh: Nice bar, but very grouchy and unwelcoming old bartenders! Don’t waste time. Will not come back :)

Greg B: Pleasant. Beary. Friendly stuff. Strong cocktails. Worth a visit. Entrance hidden during daytime, but easy to find when opened.

Taylor Shay: Black unfriendly bar. A bunch of conservative white men with transphobic attitudes. Micro aggressions and discriminatory language amongst patrons. Myself and another Black American patron who descend from the people who built this country clearly were not welcomed.

Jason Bailey-Amos: We were made to feel very welcome by all the star on our trip.Great food and friendly service, we loved it and would recommend a visitThanks to Jerry and Patrick for looking after us

Jay Bee: Nice space , clean, and friendly environment. Lovely bartender, really cold beer - I loved ❤️ it! - and a great chicken wings full of taste! Thank God I didn’t meet any of those grumpy people mentioned here. I was wondering, are they for real of it was just one or two fellas who were not having a good day ? Who knows ?! PS. I’ve met Edd, Peter and Jake - three very polite fellas and very receptive! I cannot picture those guys treating anyone bad !

Katelyn Bodwell: Went for karaoke night on a Tuesday and had so much fun! The bartenders were great! The place is pretty big, has lots of tables, a patio, and a pool table.

C: HORRIBLE food service. The wait staff couldn’t have been any more disrespectful!Will avoid in the future.

Lauren Simpson: This place ran my friend’s credit card for another party’s tab after she had closed out and gone home. The bill was over $1100 and when contacted, the owner refused to admit any fault. This is despicable behavior. Shame on them. How did they still have access to her credit card information??

Olivia Breen: If I could rate 0 stars I would. As a member of Boston’s queer community it makes me sad to do this but I would never patronize this place again. My wife went there after a work event and had drink with a coworker. A couple days later she noticed there was a charge of OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS on her card in addition to her actual very small bill. Somehow they charged someone else’s massive order to her card and refuse to make it right. The signature for the 1000 dollar charge is for when she was already home in bed (with the Lyft receipt to prove it) but they still refuse to correct their error. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Management was nice about it and wanted to remedy it but owner would not. Take your business elsewhere.

Carlos: The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing! The atmosphere is great and the staff are top notch fun!

Lee Etsitty: Great gay friendly bar and restaurant. We had fish tacos and the fish & chips, both were delicious. Good selection of beers on tap.

Krissy Govertsen: Very limited vegetarian options. Good luck if you are vegan.

Steven Page: We always stop in for a drink. The bartenders are awesome! Tonight we thought we would get a table and have something to eat. What a difference experience. It was not busy at all. 20 min before the server noticed we where even there after being seated by the hostess. Ok we gave him a pass but then after it felt like we were a bother. No eye contact no interaction. The food came out fast from the runner. We will not eat in the dining area again. But will certainly go back to the bar!

Oneil Carter: My first night back from traveling across Africa and Europe. Rob made my night by actually interacting with me. If you want a bar with a homey feeling, definitely check this place out. I highly recommend it, especially if you're new to Boston.

Kimberly Nicolette Whatley: Very fun and chill vive. Yazul and Sean were very friendly and made our time there greatWill definitely come back

Cy Chan: Fun spot I started to go to a few months ago due to friends for Tuesday karaoke.

André Ribeiro (Andreams): Beautiful place for who want to get out of the traffic in the city and relax have a drink and play pool.The management and staff is very friendly and I am glad I come by to check that out.First was okay ops just kidding hahaha, very good turkey melt you need to try for sure.Really the quesadilla need be good too, I thought my fajitas was better… but not the quesadilla is delicious.The joe the bartender is amazing, I will be back.

Shannon White: The servers consistently are HORRIBLE; slow and inattentive and some type of attitude m. The food is nothing more than something from a toaster oven. Pizza is Tombstone brand at best along with everything else is frozen and warmed up. The bartenders snd drinks are amazing, personality, experience and all. Cut the food & wait staff.

Josué Calderón: Terrible service. Skip it. There’s better options in town.

Ture Richard Turnbull: Fun place!

BILL CRUZ: Pésimo estoy aquí ahora mismo , el garcon me a traído la cuenta sin yo lo pedir

Meredith Anderson: I had the slowest service in my life at this place. I don't know what they are doing in the kitchen but it's certainly not preparing people's food promptly.Maybe they are watching TV and cooking during the ads? Either way, don't come to this place if you are hungry or thirsty, or if you want waiters to come to your table.

Matthew J Shochat: Great spot 👏🔥💯👍

Mauro Segabinazzi: This place was nice! The drinks and food came super fast.Love it

angela troska: Rob is an amazing human! I just met him and can tell his heart is so big... The word is a better, gayer, awesomer place because of him!
