Felt Boston

I have been to Felt a few times now... I keep thinking its going to get better. It still is awful. My first experience there was spent waiting in line for everything, drinks, bathroom, getting to the 4th floor ect.... My last experience ended with me getting ripped off from the down stairs bartenders. I left a cash tip on a charge and they wrote in their own. When I called to speak to the manager she was rude and mean about refunding it to me. (in which case she told me to drive there and she would give me the 12 they took, out of her own pocket and that it was silly I would call for such a small amount. Basically I ended up tipping 30 on a 52 dollar tab. (I tipped 18 in cash) It took forever to get drinks upstairs, and down. The bathrooms were disgusting all night. I must say the one nice thing about the whole place was the DJ on the 4th floor is top notch, as well as friendly and the door staff (and inside guys) were polite and helpful! We only found ONE nice bartender in the whole place all others were cold, bored and rude. There was no smile or thank you from any of them (except the one) We spent half the night being ignored. As a former bartender I found it appalling and just bad business! Do NOT waste your time or money here, and if you do DO NOT use a credit card. I will never go back to Felt again and I do not recommend anyone else goes either.

Pros: Dj and Door staff

Cons: Bartenders, atmosphere, attitude

A friend had told me about Felt. So absent of some of the reviews me and some of my freinds decided to go last saturday night. It was a awesome! The music was great the food was good too.. I guess there is new managment there so maybe thats the difference. We'll be back.

Pros: Staff, Drinks, Billards

What an awful place to be. Took forever to get a drink downstairs and when we got them they were all wrong. Waited in line to go upstairs for 30 minutes and when we finally got up their no one was even in the place. We got a table and the service sucked cause their was one cocktail waitress to the whole floor. When I went to talk to the manager about how terrible the night was going, he was really nice but the owner was so rude. Avoid this place at all cost. And I mean COST cause you spend a lot for a bad time.

Felt was a horrible choice to celebrate NYE. The door staff were incredibly rude and arrogant as they blasted people in line and didn't seem to care if anyone overheard their comments and insults. This is a poorly managed place which was evident to us from the start of the evening. Nothing special as they advertised, all promises with no delivery. Drinks tasted horrible and the place was pretty dirty. Next year it won't be Felt for us.

Pros: For superior service go next door to the Ritz.

Cons: Dirty rude staff and trashy crowd.

A group of us celebrate my birthday at Felt on Saturday night and it was awesome! We booked a VIP table on the fourth floor, the club floor, and it was totally worth it. We had a blast, the staff was excellent and the music was awesome. We are already planning another night out there.

Well, I'm a bit surprised at some of the comments on this because I went to Felt recently and had probably one of the best times in Boston I've had in a long time. I went there for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with 10 friends and had the night pre-arranged with one of the managers--(Todd I think?). We had reservations for dinner and then a nightclub package to go upstairs. Now...1) Most places in Boston don't even offer the options Felt offers; 2) dinner ambiance was great--they had an 80s band playing that night so it was kinda cool to have some extra entertainment; 3) going to the nightclub was smooth, no problems; 4) my waitress was excellent! It was a bit crowded but didn't have to wait for drinks at all. 5) one of the bouncers at the end of the night got me and my girlfriend a cab because we were a bit tipsy by the time we left. So overall people, I would stop the complaining...yeah the place is expensive, and of course like any club there will be issues that come up...but you are after all in a club, and you do live in Boston you know!!! I guess everyone's experience is different but it's only fair to attest that mine was AWESOME!

Pros: lots of options, great scene, nice interiors

Cons: stairs, lots of them

We went to Felt for a private party set up by our office with the events coordinator and everything from beginning to end was perfect. We booked the entire third floor which had pool tables, a private bar, and a buffet table set up just for us. The various appetizers were delicious, the waitresses and managers were friendly and accomodating which contributed to the trendy social atmosphere of the club. I had never been before this party, but I would definitely go back with a group of friends to check out the scene and enjoy all the ammenities it has to offer.

We went there for dinner on a Thursday night. Great atmosphere whether for a first date with wine and excellent food, a girl's night out with drinks and appetizers, or an after work drink with a co worker. It was a restaurant that catered to various occasions with a low lit bar, plasma tvs, and music at the right sound level for once. The service was efficient and friendly and the grilled shrimp cocktail and lobster ravioli were just two of our delicious choices from the sophisticated menu. Highly recommended.

After looking up online for a New Year's party we found Felt's online add .The ticket costed 60 dollars, however, the club offered 2 hours of sushi and champagne toast all inclusive . The advertisement looked quite promising - the music choice would be: electronic ,techno, trance ,dance,and everything else but hip hop or rap. Finally, after a long wait we got in and the first floor did not look so bad, however, after going to the second floor the place looked like a cheap pool table lounge. We came back down stairs and paid 50 dollars for four of the worst drinks that made myself look stupid for spending that much money for a lame drink that had taste of regular soda. I spoke to some waitresses and asked about the sushi and they said they would start serving it soon, however , until the end of the party I did not see even one plate going out.. On the second round of drinks (another 50 dollars), we have to change our drinks to vodka since the bartender could not find the whiskey bottle , and by the way, we had to purchase extra shots of vodka because the drinks did not have any in it .That night not only I was unsatisfied with the bar service but bunch of other people around me were constantly asking to have their drinks fixed making me realize how abd bad the drinks were . After a couple of hours of disappointment we decided to go and speak to the DJ to change the hip hop music to something more festive . Our attempts were ignored by the DJ-girl ( it seemed like she didn't know what is going on that night)until one of the doorman who felt probably really bad for the crowd's disappointment. He started up with a few nice " club" songs and wormed up the crowed, but than when he had to take off the previous girl messed up all the music setup again - very poor performance as a DJ. By midnight the countdown was followed by another rap song and no champagne toast. Thank you Felt for the worst New Year's Eve in my life experience!!!!!!

Pros: When is time to leave the place...

Cons: All of it!!!

Me and my wife come to Boston every New Years to visit family. The last 2 years we were talked into Felt. The first year was horrible. We bout some overpriced tickets, but only had access to the feeble 1st level. When I discussed this with the manager (Brian), he said, believe it or not, "what do you want for that price? This is new years eve. For and extra $100 bucks I'll personally walk you to the real party". We declined and was forced to pay for watered down, overpriced drinks all night. They didn't even do the midnight countdown or champagne toast that was promised. Now last year was twice as bad. A bouncer harassed my wife all night. He followed her to the bathroom, tried to get her #, etc. When I addressed the issue, 4 bouncers attacked me. Threw me down and held me there. We had to leave early. The manager refused a refund to us. We were stuck "on the streets" for new years. Save your money. This is an overpriced, corrupt, poorly managed, thug hang-out con job. DO NOT GO TO FELT!

Pros: We'll NEVER go back

Cons: Felt
