Howl at the Moon Boston

A nice place to have fun on a Saturday night. My friend won a party here and we got to go for discounted drinks and free entry. I had a really fun night and the discounted drinks are a good deal but other than the drinks on discount the others were quite pricy.

The free buffet advertised was also mostly just finger food and dry carbs. Songs were good and there was a dance scene too but to request a song you have to venmo the band.

99% sure someone spiked my drink here. Not that that's necessarily the venue's fault, but not the type of place I ever want to go back again. I'm a very big dude and can handle my drinks. I came here a bit buzzed already and had two drinks and suddenly was falling all over myself, puking my brains out, huge gaps in my memory that night. Didn't drink any more that night and still felt drunk and had issues with remembering things that happened hours later. Thankfully my friends took care of me, but I have never experienced that before unless I've had many, many more drinks than I did.

This has been on my Boston Bucket list since it opened and I'm glad I went. This place is so cool, it's live. The only thing i didn't like is if you make request gotta put your money on it. I get they work on tips but I kept tipping and my songs weren't being played.

Other than that it's super cool here, it's huge and everyone is lit and in good spirits.

My server was amazing I forget her name but tattood girl, with black hair. She was like beyond amazing. She had to serve tables thru crowds of ppl and did not miss a beat. She added to the experience

A classic going out spot to experience Boston's nightlife! I usually go out here during the wee hours of the night but always have a great time (especially at the downstairs area). The music is popping and the air from the ceiling gives it a club vibe. They also have discounted drinks if a friend is celebrating their bday at howl.

fantastic place if you're looking to sing, dance and party

Came here this past Friday night through a complimentary party I received for Howl and Down via a giveaway.

There were $4 drink specials (drinks you could choose from were Dirty Shirley, House Margarita, Devils Lemonade, New Amsterdam Vodka Drinks, Myers' Rum Drinks, and White Claws). I had the Dirty Shirley and the House Margarita which were our favorites of the night. The lemonade wasn't so great, but for $4, I couldn't complain. They also weren't super light which was nice, but it's important to note that the drink specials are only available from 6pm-10pm at Howl. Also, another thing to note, these drink specials were apart of the party. Otherwise, I didn't know how much the drinks on the menu were as there were no prices.

We enjoyed the appetizer buffet that was available from 6-8pm. Originally we thought this was only for people that were a part of the complimentary party, but it appeared as if it was open to the public. There wasn't too much available, but it was all decently tasty considering it was free.

Live music was great and the ambiance of the place was nicely decorated.

We wanted to check out the nightclub around 10pm and this was super confusing. We thought the entrance to enter was downstairs (as this would make sense because the nightclub is literally called Down). The bouncer downstairs was on the aggressive end and was screaming at people to get out of the hallway, but I think lots of people were also confused as to how to enter the nightclub. We found out that you actually had to go outside, next door, in order to enter. The line outside to enter Down was incredibly long, but since we were a part of the Howl party, we at least didn't have to pay a cover. Otherwise, there would've been a $10 cover. The music at the nightclub was good, but it gets very packed. Don't be surprised if you get some drinks spilled on you.

I appreciated that Howl at the Moon and Down have a partnership/are under the same management (it appears) but they could've done a better job with advertising how and when you could've entered the nightclub. This made it seem like Down was a completely separate entity/business even though the two businesses were physically connected. Overall, service was solid and our waitress was friendly. I would come here again for drink specials!

Can't believe how rude people at the front door. Ally gave me an attitude when I asked her a simple question about the music. Tyler at bar seemed bothered because I asked for a ginger ale. I wanted to inquire about a job and Mike the manager said I was too old. I guess you have to be under 21 like the rest of them. Unimpressed

Scammed. Got charged for hella drinks that weren't even what I ordered. I get the confusion and that people can make mistakes but I was kicked out as soon as I brought it up to the bartender. Terrible customer service and there's most definitely better places to be at.

First and foremost, I am not one to write these sorts of posts. I don't think I ever have before. DON'T GO HERE. I REPEAT. DON'T GO HERE.

I went to Howl at the Moon Boston for a friends birthday in which he won a "free" party which enabled everyone to get in without a cover. To sum it up:

-- our assigned server was rude in the way she talked to us
-- she rarely tended to our table
-- she took drinks before people were done with them
-- was unclear and opened tabs without communicating with card-owners that a tab was being opened
-- thought it was smart to confront and dispute the tip she received, cuss out a customer, and have them removed by security. All of this was simply over a tab of $7.50
-- AVOID SERVER ANGIE... She was terrible and ruined what should have been a fun night out celebrating a friends birthday

The staff here are almost always super nice and accommodating, helpful and willing to answer any and all questions patrons may have. The band is iconic and the line to get in downstairs actually moves and doesn't just sit idle for an hour to make people walking past think it's busy. The dirty Shirley special is always a joy and one of the bartenders working was one of the most fun and awesome bartenders I have gotten drinks from while out. She made the night great, and when nights are good at Howl, they are really good.

I honestly usually love this place and have no problems, but Friday night my waitress didn't like the tip I gave her and then proceeded to write her self a $7 tip. I won't list her name but she has completely changed my mind about going back there.
