Whisky Saigon

South End & Chinatown


Whisky Saigon is among the hottest dance spots in Boston at the time of writing, and with good reason. Who can resist bubbles and laser lights on the dance floor? It's classy, with upscale decor, good-looking patrons and a top-notch sound system playing mostly electronic dance music. The bottled-water-only policy is a bone of contention, but coat check is free.
