    Third floor near windows. First person goes home with Rondo autographed basketball. Everyone else stick around for some Red Bull and other cool giveaways.

    They have a Foursquare sticker out front and they say no cover on Saturday for the first three check-ins. BULL. SHIT. Guy just acted like I was fresh out of the loony bin and charged me $10.

    One of the worst place I have ever been in Boston. Nachos was awful. And there was no beef in it even if we ordered with beef.

    Horrible club scene. I went once and it was awful but tried again, even worse. Attracts a shady crowd and women bouncers are bitchy/annoying
