Dante Club

I’m torn when it comes to the Dante Club. Let me break it down for you
PROS
–It’s always a good time whenever I go there for birthday parties, fundraisers etc.
CONS
–No Heineken Light. Yeah I keep repeating myself but hey I want my beer available when I go out
–Those friggin stairs! I’m surprised someone doesn’t break their neck every time I go there. Upstairs to the hall, downstairs to the bar, back upstairs to the hall. No wonder so many people just hang out at the bar.
–Men only in the club below the function hall. Really?
Will I continue to go there? Sure because like I said it’s always a good time. But will I ever rent out that hall for a function. HELL NO!

The Dante Club is one of a bit of a dying breed. Private clubs. You just can’t walk into this place. And most likely would not want to.
But I’ve found myself here 2 – 3 times a year the last several years for private parties. (pink cancer parties, birthday parties etc). Given the company I was with I always have a good time. Good size room with a stage. Not handicap accessible (the room is on the 2^nd floor). One public bar on the first floor. They have a decent selection of booze & @ $ 4.50 for a top shelf mixed drinks the prices are not a complaint. Two TVs in the «bar», one doesn’t work the other is a 13″! behind the bar. You don’t go here for the atmosphere, buts its clean.
The private club is downstairs & I’ve never seen it.
Plenty of parking, easy to get to near Porter Sq. This is more of a public service announcement than a review. Not a bad place to have a private party, shower etc.
