Nightlife in Boston
 
Can anyone give me some suggestions on nightlife in Boston for 2 single girls (late 20's-early 30's). Any good place to dance? Hang out? Meet some fun people.
We will be visiting in late October (coming for the Eddie Izzard show!) I've been to Boston once before, but we didn't really know where to go after 10:00 p.m. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Check out bostonphoenix.com. Its the website of the alternative newspaper in town. Should be a source of info.

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want clubs, the "alley" off of Boylston Street (across from the common) has clubs and many are found on Landsdowne Street near Fenway Park. If you want more casual - then you might want to try Central Square in Cambridge (the MiddleEast) or Harper's Ferry in Allston.

Thanks for the suggestions jellybelly and others. Hleesa - we both like different clubs, anything from great dance music (hip-hop/house/techno), to afterwork happy hour scene. Prefer post-college crowd as we are both over 25. I noticed on my last visit, Boston is very much a "bar" town. Is there a good music scene?
