Bi-level gay nightclub
The Paradise
Why locals love it
Paradise is New England's only gay club featuring hot male dancers 6 nights a week. No matter the event, day, or time of year, gays of all ages can be found dancing, mingling, drinking, and gawking at local Chip n' Dale's. They also have weekly DJs, go-go dancers, videos, and drag shows.
Why you should visit it
From the outside, this dark corner of Mass Ave seems unassuming and off the beaten path. Upon entering, it's clear that the Paradise is part of the old order of gayness in the city. A kind of secret that only the gays are in on. Catered toward gay men, it feels like stepping back in time to the early 80s--at once seedy and thrilling.
Special tip
Head to the downstairs bathrooms for free, fancy condoms.
