by Robt Mikesell on This place sucks. Don't waste your time getting on the guest list cause they will say your not on it anyways. We had 11 people out for a 30th Birthday party with a Navi limo this past Friday night. We called a few days in advance to get on the guest list based on reading reviews here. I was little nervous based on some of the poor feedback, but the place seemed like it was pretty cool. Well showed up about 10:45 with no line, give our name, and say we are on the guest list. The guy goes inside and comes out like 2 seconds later and is like nope. I doubt he even checked. So at this point I am like yep, the negative rateclubs reviews are right. So after going back and forth a little bit with the doormen we say fine we will pay the full admission and they are like nope. Now there is still no line to get in. So we say screw you and go to the Liqour Store. Now one of their doormen goes to the liqour store and tells them not to let us in. In general right from the get go the doormen were smug and rude like their poop don't stink. I get it, it is Boston and you have to act like your club in the best and you want people to want to get in like it's some big thing. However, I am not going to kiss your ass to get in the door. I am not in high school anymore and would prefer to not be treated like I am not cool enough to hang out with you.

by Santiago Loeb on Gather round all ye mateys! First and foremost, I need to find the proprietors of this place and give them a well deserved pat on the back. The concept is definitely different and makes for an interesting night out with co-workers or friends. Gathering a group of small old-assed boats and filling them with alcohol and drunken patrons doesn't always seem like a great idea at first. But hot-damn is it smart as Bobby Fisher! Novelty at best, in that the experience would probably wear off after the second or third time frequenting this place. But at first glance it's mesmerzing and entrancing almost. The scenery is what makes this place pop, seeing the Hudson River in all its glory as the sunsets, swaying with the waves as the boat settles in off the dock and consuming enough alcohol to make David Hasselhoff look like a boy scout, makes this place stand out. I've yet to try the food, but rumor has it it's delicious. The clientele is a an interesting mix, in that the slickest of Wall Street cronies and Marketing gurus converge on this place. Regardless, it's fun and interesting. Go for the view, stay for the drinks, leave before the frat boys get rowdy! Definitely a great place.
