Surprisingly awesome for a tacky good time - which happened to be exactly what we were looking for one recent evening.
We arrived here around 10pm. There was a $10 cover. The place was empty. We sat at one of the booths right against the wall towards the middle of the dance floor. In about an hour, the space filled up quite nicely. The crowd was an eclectic mix of college students, bachelorette partyers and not-as-cool-as-they-think-they-are people.
The drinks were quite standard. The music was a good mix of recent hits and oldies (Michael Jackson) etc.
I had a great time primarily because we had that booth seating, which gave us plenty of time to sit and laugh at other people or to dance when we were drunk enough ourselves.
When we were ready to leave, we were able to head to the pool place next door (Jillian's maybe? not sure) just by taking the stairs at the back of the club. Awesome!
Horrible bar. I don't have some huge nightmare story to relate to you yelpers, but the overall experience is just bad. Drinks in Boston are expensive in general, here it is especially. It's sort of baffling how they charge $9-$10 for a mixed drink with a single shot in it (rum and coke, or just coke? This place will make you doubt they even have rum in those bottles back there).
The place itself is pretty dirty. Not an enjoyable experience, just head somewhere else. There are plenty of places around.
Yep. One f*cking star. That is one too many.
I believe most reviews have already covered everything that makes this place the vile, filthy, strangely-carpeted?, bar/club that it is.
I always think it's kind of funny/sad when a "club" decides they're going to enforce some kind of dress code, yet, when you get inside after waiting IN A LINE, the place is disgusting and cheesy to the max.
Yes, there is carpeting on the floors.
Yes, they serve most drinks in plastic cups.
Yes, most people in this place have herpes and refuse to pronounce their "R"s.
Yes, I had fun here once....at a Toucher & Rich Halloween party.
No, I will not be back. Ever. I promise.
C'mon, this place is hilarious. You can dance like nobody's watching because nobody is, because nobody can due to the seizure-inducing strobe lights and sea of sweaty bodies. The DJ must switch off nights doing high school dances the rest of the week. I was half expecting a breathalyzer on the way in.
I wore a sweater and a bun, walked in and somebody yelled, "What are you, a librarian?" I wish!
But then a guy who looked suspiciously like Jay-Z told me he was following my rhythm. Sorry, Beyonce.
I can't believe people have eaten here!
No. I like a tacky good time, too, but this place did not deliver.
Attitude from the staff, overpriced drinks, general lack of awesomeness (even the tacky-fabulous kind). Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
Oh, Tequila Rain, you are an experience. I went here more times than I should probably admit throughout college, and yet, I'm sure I'll be back. This is a good place to go with a big group, mostly so you can work in teams to ward off the creeps who may or may not live in the shadows. There's a five dollar cover, and the line can get pretty long at times, but it moves quickly enough. In the winter, there's a coat check that's basically all the way through the club (I still don't understand the concept of this...).
The feel of this place is pretty variable, depending on the time of the year. During the school year, it's pretty klassy with all a huge variety of Boston-area kids (note: frat parties are free...). During the summer it's a bit less packed but just as (if not more) sketchy with a much higher amount of guys dressed in excessively tight jeans and American Apparel shirts that show off an awkward amount of chest hair. Regardless of when you go, the people watching makes it worthwhile. Especially around 1:15. If you're a group of girls, you will begin to see the sketchballs start to close in around you. That's your cue to run awayyyy.
The dancefloor is pretty big, and separate from the main bar area. The dancefloor has a bar all along one side of it as well though. The drinks are somewhat expensive, so I'd recommend having a few before getting there if you don't want to have a heart attack when you check your bank account the next day.
The music is mostly top 40 stuff, with some classic stuff mixed in (ie Journey), but it's neither the best nor worst stuff I've heard in clubs. Beggars can't really be choosers, and since they got rid of the whole Axis/Avalon complex (sadness!), this is it unless you want to go downtown and probably pay a much higher cover. But after one or two times here, it'd be worth it to check other places out...
UGH. GROSS. DISGUSTING.
This place is FULL of sketchy, creepy, desperate men looking to get lucky, AND women OVER 50 YRS. OLD hitting on young college guys...! (They should just get with each other! ...err... maybe not. *shudders*). Did I mention I was with a big group (girls & guys alike) and they still attacked?
Not even its yummy, cheap, Captain & Punch slush drink can redeem itself. At least I didn't have to pay cover b/c I was on guestlist for a friend's 22nd. The place is not even worth $5.
Tequila Pain!!
How do you play Ludacris then "Brown Eyed Girl?" That's like eating a fried fish icecream paninni?!
Apparently I have a little self-abusive streak, because I went to a top 40 club on Landsdowne during a game. This place claims in a Wall Street type neon news sign: "Spring Break every day" What was I drinking?! In hindsight I'd like to say it was for social experiment but I was, also duped because I thought my Roxbury friends were taking me to a hip-hop or reggae joint!
No, we are going to "Tequila Rain, the best club on Landsdowne Street." $5 admission, Lots of ugly orange guys, sparkly Red Sox cleavage, free-porn site-type-cell-phone-camera exhibitionism, people looking to bone the best chance they have, $6 beers.
Nooo... apparently my gansterrr friends get down to "Sweet Caroline," "Resepect," "Dirty Water," "Brown Eyed Girl," and "I'm Blue and I'm in Need of a Guide," and "The Venga Bus is Coming" in between sparse, and truely danceable songs from the likes of MIA, JZ, salsa mix, etc.
Now, I know there are all kinds of musical taste and that's fine. I happen to like hip-hop when I go dancing, and good indie electro, soul; funky stuff.
But after tonight I am more accepting of me being more selective with both people and music. People who get hyped to songs that have been played 4 trillion times on the radio, movies, and commericials are dumb. People that get hyped to rhythm-less, lite-dance, soul-less drivel are dumb. And that's ok.
But wait....there is a lot of great music out there people!! You don't have to go out and get dressed up to dance to commercials and canned corporate music industry bubble gum!!
Sure, it can be argued that Van Morrison, and Aretha and whoever the hell sings "Sweet Caroline," are great artists. I guess some people also get hyped to Xtina. And I happen to enjoy some of this music sometimes.
But a good song can be absolutely played to death. You hear it so many times it's not even a song anymore. I don't get hyped when I hear a song that is basically the white noise of mainstream America.
DJ WAIT A MINUTE
How the hell do you play MIA and then "Brown Eyed Girl"?
Why don't you follow up T-Pain with Billy Joel for cry eye!?
Oh, the humanity!
Tequila Rain--"Stupid, aggressive Top 40 purgatory."
Best club on Landsdowne
Are you F-ing serious? A place that has tequila in the name that serves Margaritas in plastic Tixie cups? My father and I recently took my nephews to their first Red Sox game. They were a little tired after the trip up from Rhode Island, followed by a loosing effort by the Sox. So we didn't want to drag them all over for dinner. Enter Tequila Rain. I had the barbecue beef sandwich. (Since the Margarita came in a plastic Dixie cup, I didn't have too much faith that the Mexican food would be authentic.) I actually had to eat the meat with a fork, because it was so stuck together that when I bit into the sandwich, all of the meat pulled out in one glob. I also tried the steak tip sandwich that one of my nephews ordered. It had a good tast, but was a pretty bad cut of meat.
Worst club in the Boston Area. The drinks are average, the service is just terrible. Bouncers are a**holes and the worst power trips I have ever seen. They assaulted 3 people in front of me and sent two to the hospital. Dont know who is in charge of hiring here but the owner better take note, never ever going here again!!
my hatred for you will never die. NEVER!!!!!

There should NEVER be a 30 minute wait in a coat check line at 1am - the bar is STILL open for another hour!
Useful tip: Grab a beer before heading to the coat check - it's gonna be a long wait.
2 stars remain.
You'd think you were at a Faneuil Hall bar.
Those were the days when I considered dropping over $100…

This place is hilarious! It reminds me of those over 16 teenage clubs in the suburbs where they don't serve booze, except here, everyone is roughly 3-5 years older and retarded.
The crowd here is a who's who of unintentional comedy....college-aged kids using a fake ID, meatheads wearing shirts with a minimum 4 open buttons requirement, groups of 21 year old fat chicks trying to lose their virginity, people driving in from 30 minutes outside of town for their "big night out on the town", black people who want to see where crazy white people hang out, and skanky sluts showing off their day-glo tans hoping to score free drinks and a dude who drives an H3. Watching the social interaction between these groups, all set to the endless KISS 108-looped soundtrack, is priceless. Why not laugh at Stifler clones trying to find their next slumpbuster?
The mixed drinks suck (pricey and waterdown, 8 oz pieces of crap) so stick with beer. And I went there wearing sneakers, jeans, and a sweater, so there dress code seems pretty slack.
People who rip this place and give it 1 star are missing the greater meaning...yea, everyone wants to be cool and wear their vintage store clothing, listen to TV on the Radio, act ironic or disinterested, and look down on everyone else but every town needs a place like this. OK, if you go here every weekend, hell, maybe even just once a month, you're either one of the people I mentioned above or you have some other issues. But getting a large group of people together and heading here once in a blue moon to dance like a bunch of TRL-rejects, and then pretending like you were never here, is an option everyone needs.
Tequila Rain: Date rape, 52 weeks a year!
(And yet, I give it two stars anyways...I'm fickle.)
So to start this let me say that I think I may still be drunk. And it's noon. B double O. :'(
Sadly, this drunkenness was not brought to me by the bartenders at Tequila Rain no no. Not a one of them could get over to us. The bartenders upstairs at the super boring Jillian's/Lucky Strike bar took care of us all night (ha ha bitch who cut in line only to wait longer).
Let's see...what's good?
Umm, well it's a large venue.
It's clean in a cursory sort of way.
Large dance floor.
And bad?
$5 cover? Come on now.
Throw a fucking fan in here or something. Jesus. It was HOT. I mean I was sweating like it was July in Park Street Station there. Yes, I'm a sexy bitch.
Sweat dripping from the ceiling? GROSS. Also, the ceiling drips were black. That's not good either.
The bathroom was trashed and the poor valet couldn't keep up. Bust out a mop or something.
The sound system is whack. The dance floor is gimongous and the system weak. No bueno.
Maybe it was the lack of ventilation in there but my voice was squeaky upon leaving and today I feel like I smoked a pack of cigarettes. I don't smoke. Hot. If I get emphysema or some shit I'm coming back for you Tequila Rain. Mark my words.
If Fenway bars are your thing you may like it. Otherwise don't bother.
THIS REVIEW: TEQUILA RAIN ONLY. Jillians will be left for another time.
It is what it is. A club/bar for people who just hit 21 years old or having a bachorlette party.
I arrived pretty early and had adrink while watching the game. When Fenway emptied out and after it began to get crowded. At it's peak this place is like a concentration camp. 200+ people on the dance floor, no a/c or fans. It was fun but if I go again I'm definately wearing lighter clothing due to the heat.
Pro's:
-Friendly staff. (Only one bitchy bartender, she got nada from me for tip. The girl who serves Coors Light/Bud Lights by the men's room entrance is very curtious/friendly.)
-Decent people. The majority of people I met were friendly. Only a few drunk girls that were creepy. Women complain about creepy guys, but the creepy women are just as bad. I'm with a girl I'm seeing and I had the same three/four girls staring at me all night. One of them kept bumping into me on "accident." I didn't know if she was trying to pickpocket me or catch a feel.
-Average priced beers.
-Before 10pm no cover charge. (Saturday night I got in free, so I didn't mind.)
Con's:
-No A/C or fans. It got so hot the ceiling was dripping and everyone was covered in non-sexy sweat.
-Overcrowded. It felt like a death camp at times because they kept shoving people into the club. It's alright when you have a cute girl bumping into you but when you got some fat greasy guy.....it's not as pleasant.
-Music was good but kept playing the same songs every hour. Whomever the DJ was, was just playing Top 40 music.
-Mixed drinks were watered down.
-Mixed drinks were expensive.
-Anything not beer = not worth it.
Would I go again? Yea. Would I dress up to go into this place? No way.
I find it ironic that a place that is "spring break 52 weeks a year" has a dress code. Especially across the street from Fenway.
A 28 person limit on a ground-level concrete patio.
Seriously.
This was the first time in my life that I had witnessed an actual line inside to patronize the patio and smoke a cig.
Seriously.
Drinks = MAD RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!
Other than that... spacious inside... biggest dance floor EVER.
We went for the Guerilla Gay Bar thing, and hillarity ensued as my friend and I overreacted to all the streaming college football scores above the big screens.
And by overreacted, i mean freaked the frack out.
It was awesome, and I wish I had it on video... i'm 100% certain it'd go viral.
OK, went here as part of Guerilla Queer Bar. I had a great time but it was due to the company. The place just failed on so many different levels, so let's get started...
First of all, why would you have a bar across from Fenway Park and not allow patrons to wear baseball hats? Yeah, that sounds like a prime marketing plan... "We can serve daiquiris out of brightly lit, swirling machines into those circusy, carnival(ly), festival(ly) plastic yards that glow under black light. We will put the place next to Fenway park, but we want to keep this place high class, so we gotta get a bouncer to walk around and make only selected people take their hats off." What the hell do they do when a Red Sox game lets out?!?! In case you hadn't noticed, you should not make a gay man take off his hat in the bar without warning him so that there could be product involved!
The drinks seriously had issues. There is nothing wrong with charging $9 for a Long Island, but you really should know how to make it. Two different bartenders up front made them with Rose's lime juice, WTF?!?! Seriously, have you heard of "sour mix?" I realized the taste was off and specifically watched them pour. Jeffrey H. also commented on the taste, and let's face it, we should know when a Long Island is made right. These just had a weird "hwang" to them. The problem was solved when I found the cutest little blond pixie of a bartender at the very far end of the dance floor. She made them right, remembered my drink, and didn't make me wait forever like the others.
The DJ, I am guessing, realized what was going on and totally catered to the clientele. He really camped up the music, so that was amusing.
What is up with the line to smoke on the patio when it is less than a quarter full and there is still enough room to ball-room dance out there? I still think that one doorman was trying to compensate for something. Just sayin.
One of my biggest complaints was the lack of air-conditioning. Seriously, as a gay man, I like getting sweaty and bouncing around with other men, but not this hot and with clothes on. I was seriously GLISTENING! (as a gay man, I don't sweat or perspire, I glisten) To top it off, the ceiling was leaking so many mysterious substances, I felt like I was under an adult movie theatre showing kinky films I'd care NOT to see.
Would I go back? Not by choice.
Plus one star for the cutie patootie bartender.
Plus one star for hearing a clueless straight guy in the bathroom say, "I may just be a country boy Republican from Idaho, but it seems to me there are a lot of fags and dykes in here..."
Plus one star for the company of GQB and all the yelpers.
Minus 3 1/2 for the other crap, so I will let you keep 2 stars.
Tequila rain, when GQN takes over.... *LOVE* .... oh makes me miss my besties from back home!!! Only downside... men not taking off their shirts and dancing around half naked. Come on straight bars, the gay bars have it all figured out, I want my eye candy... and I want my eye candy 1/2 naked... damnit! hahaha
All other nights....... original review still applies.
If I went with just one or two other people, this place would get 1-2 stars, however, I arranged a… Read more »
Its a good place to go if your under age and under the age of 22..thats the clientele. Also it seems that people who never go out, are from the boonies somewhere, or our goin out for a "night on the town" end up here.
The music is not bad...goes from all genres and music era's.
service is ok. Not that bad.
Drinks are blah...Ive known bartenders there and have gotten hook'd up but if you don't know anyone good luck gettin booze in your drink. The mixed drinks are weak, and the ones in the Slurpee machine have no booze..those are a gimmic/joke!
The atmosphere is def. a party atmosphere which is good, but at times you'll get sick. I've been during hot body, wet t-shirt contests and that can be a good time...then you get the people who shouldn't enter and it becomes a freak show!
if your dude be prepared to get into some sort of skirmish of some sorts. I've just been standing there and have had people just push me and try to start things....Really!? Soo Friggin stupid. On that note you can tell that dudes that go there are of D-Bag variety. Either some north or south shore meat head, or some hard ass College Junior who's tryin to impress people.
It was good at one time, and can be good if your 22yrs old and under...was my scene like 6yrs ago, but not anymore
This place is alright. I was there tonight, with Jen H. (GQN takes over). It was great. I had a lovely pineapple margarita. My other drink was way too strong and almost undrinkable.
Would I go back there again? Maybe. Tonight was fun, but this place wouldn't be fun unless you came with a group.
Pre-gamed for game 5 of the ALCS here. We ended up here by default because it was one of the least crowded places. We started with the Jalapeno poppers which were surprisingly good. They were not the previously frozen variety they, looked and tasted fresh made. We also split 3 taco plates between two people. The tacos were not very authentic but they were also not terrible. The spicy beef tacos were not that spicy but they were the best we tried. Our mission was to get some food in our bellies and get our drink on before the game. We achieved that.
* Our bartender looked like Emilie Ullerup (Sanctuary) she even had the bangs going.
* Margaritas were on the smallish side but they packed a punch.
* We sat at the bar but the outside tables looked pretty chill.
* A tad expensive but I've spent more inside the park and been left hungry and sober. I was neither when I exited here.
* 2nd biggest comeback in MLB playoff history, woooo!
If you like Escalades, lots of cologne, expensive bud lights, orange people and MTV's Real World, this place is for you.
My suggestion: Go there looking real sharp (popped collars, spiked hair, $200 pair of jeans), then shit your pants and pretend as if nothing happened. Hit on chicks. Dance. High-five people. If somebody asks about the smell just tell them you shit your pants because you were so into the music that you didn't want to leave the dancefloor to use the bathroom.
I've been here several times. All visits, but once, were for drinks only. The one time I came for food, I got a burger and it was better then what I expected. Juicy and cooked just right. The service was ok; not bad or great. I asked for a beer from the tap and got a bottle, but I didn't care too much at the time. It's good if you're looking for a quick bite, but a quick drink before a sox game, you'd be better off somewhere else.
I had no idea people go here FOR REALS. Whenever I've been, it's in an ironic kind of way - halloween, bachelorette parties, etc. But no, the bridge and tunnel crowd come out to play here with college bitties. My roommate's boyfriend's friends (stay with me) like to come here though, don't ASK me why when there's a $5 cover and a line . I can't handle it.
Im so glad to see other 1 star reviews. This place is an embarrasment to the fenway area. How can a place like this even exist next to the single greatest building in the country??? I only go in blacked out to puke on the floor and leave. Its worth the cover
Three facts:
Poor decor
Mediocre drinks
Decent music
Go somewhere else for clubbing if you can.
if you like creepy sketchy guys who don't speak good english and who's idea of flirting is to grab you on the dance floor and try to grind their private parts all over your lower half, then this is the place for you!
I've been here a couple times and it just seems to get progressively worse. I do however enjoy their frozen drinks, which is why i give them 2 stars instead of 1. maybe they don't have much alcohol but they are pretty tasty. but even so.. as tasty as they are, thats not enough to make me want to come back here anytime soon. in fact, if i am going to go anywhere near this place its to go to Jillians upstairs! Much more of a relaxed and chill crowd and not annoying 21 year olds and bachelorette parties that seem to saturate this place! For a dance place, the music isnt especially impressive. They will go from Justin Timberlake to Journey in 2 seconds. WTF is that hahaha!!
I am breaking my month-long yelping hiatus to say:
This is the place you go to make mistakes you wish you could laugh about in the morning, but know it's just sad.
A more in-depth analysis: crap expensive alcohol, crap music, crap clientele. In conclusion: crappy.
I am not uptight, and the first time I went here I had a pretty good time (but was well and hammered with my boys after a Sox game, so I basically brought my own party). However, just went here this past weekend. Completely missed how skeezy this place was the last time. And I'm not talking fun, hey we're in college and we're AWESOME so who CARES?!?!, WHOO HOO skeezy. More like, I need to shower in Lysol skeezy. Thank HEAVENS I sobered up before the night was through. If you're prone to beer goggles, like myself, be very wary if you are actually numb enough to go here. Bring along at least one sober friend to keep you from making boozy eyes because in the dark, disco light of Tequila Rain, just about every 3 looks like a 9.
So I have to admit, I was pretty happy when I came here at the time. I mean, it was the night the Red Sox clinched the AL East, and EVERYONE was PAAAAAAAHTING. I've never seen so many Red Sox fans in a club at one time. They were already shit faced, so the pandemonium had already begun.
So, at first glance, the drinks look awesome. Frozen margaritas, what's not to like?? Well, let's see, it's $8.00 for a long tube that has, hmmmmm probably less than ONE shot of tequila. Good thing I had that butterball shot beforehand. They definitely know how to rape their patrons when it comes to the prices. The music is alright. In a drunken stupor, every kind of music sounds amazing.
The patrons, a little good, a little bad. We were all amped up because of the Red Sox, but there were still some creeps around. I'd be afraid to come back on a non-Red Sox game night though...
So, in conclusion, the only way I'm coming back here is if I was already sloshed to hell....
I once tried to send a text message to my friend about Tequila Rain and the predictive text thought I meant Tequila Pain. Which really is so fitting.
I find it funny that people consider this a nightclub. Hahahahaha....not if you are 22 or older. I would never in a million years come here for the nightclub but I have met large groups of people there before Sox games because its big and easy to find. At that point its just a bar. I used to have a friend that waitressed here so I've also been for lunch, at which point its just a bar that serves food.
But you go at night and suddenly its just one giant, cheesy, sweaty, fraternity party. Remember what it felt like when you first turned 21 and could go out? You didn't know what was good or bad you just knew you could legally drink. That is the crowd at Tequila Pain. The fact that its so close to both Northeastern and BU adds to the mess. Really, any bar that has slushy machines of premixed drinks should give you pause. ... (Fat Tuesday in Philly, I'm looking at you....)...the pre-mixed slushy drinks, while tasty, have practically 0 alcohol. You get brain freeze quicker and more often than you get drunk. The crowd is young, obnoxious, and fashionably challenged. Tequila Rain definitely has something up its ass...when you go in before the Sox game, decked out in your Sox gear, blow $50 on drinks, then try to get back in after the Sox game to find out there is now a dress code.
I would say that the only reason to ever go there is pre-Sox game if you want to avoid the huge crowds and you don't mind paying a lot for drinks. Or to watch the game or any other sporting event because they have huge screens. Otherwise, there's no reason to go.
I was here as part of a bachelorette party. Yes I know, it's obnoxious, sorry.
It was past 11 on a Saturday night and the place was still very empty. The crowd was mostly skanky looking men and other bachelorettes. Not my idea of a good time, but I was not the bachelorette.
The drinks were expensive and small, but at least the bar wasn't over crowded. The bartenders were nice enough and served quickly.
The music is exactly what you'd expect. Mostly late 90s hip-hop, some of the top 40s from now. All clubbed up versions, of course.
Thankfully we were only here for an hour before we moved on. If it had been longer it probably would have moved down to one star.
I confused this place with La Verdad on a previous review. My apologies to La Verdad...Tequila Rain is flashy, somewhat stylish and has a lot of space. I really want to give this place 2 1/2 stars but had to round it down. It does not look like an authenticly "mexican" place in spite of its name. It is extremly americanized. However it looks like the perfect place to hang out before and after a sox game. I was here duuuuring a sox game so as you can imagine is was quite empty. I dug the maragrita slurpy machines (did i mention extermely amercianized?) but found the tall glasses they serve them in to be a bit akward (picture Matt Damon with "the nose" in Ocean's 13 trying to sip champagne out of the tall glass). Also,as a dude, i felt rather emasculated sitting there with this very tall color-of-the-rainbow drink talking about the sox and hoping my date would take me seriously at the same time.
We ended up sitting in one of their comfortable booths, which are shaped in a half-circle. These are perfect for groups. These types of booths seem to be in all my favorite chinese places and I think more restaurants and bars should install them. The food was decent. I had salmon with rice and it wasn't bad but lacking an authentic mexican flavor and feel. I also felt my mixed drinks were lacking in authentic alcohol!
Don't go here with a date for an authentic mexican experience. Go here with a group of freinds to enjoy apps and get blasted before (or after) a sox game. Remember though, here, the nose doesn't play....
This bar totally sucks. Overpriced drinks for starters. Then the people who go there suck even worse. Bunch of cocky-for-no-reason average looking females trying to manipulate guys into buying them drinks so they can go home with their right hand, gold diggers, and lilly metrosexuals spending 10 mins in the mirror in the bathroom fixing their hair who feed into their game. And I was just trying to celebrate my friends birthday...
I'm sitting there, see some poor guy getting asked buying drinks for a group of 3 girls which he complies (which left him 5 mins after he did so). I felt bad thought it was funny though cause he just got scammed up. Until 10 mins later a girl that looked like grimace (McD's) just approaches me out of the blue "Hi, its my birthday" I go and congradulate her give her a hug etc then she hits me immediately with "you should buy me and all my friends drinks", when i said "umm no i dont even know you" to which caused her and her 3 friends jaws to drop. Then i asked why they had marti gras beads on which they said "oh we were at a bachelorette party" hmmmm yes a birthday/bachlorette party riiight. As they went away got called a "F'n bastard" cause i wouldn't play into their scam.
I went downstairs to the dance area about an hour later to check it out, said hi to this girl and the same damn thing happens! Something is with this place it can't be a coincidence. Reminded me of those bums that beg for money walking up to you car off exit 18 without you asking. But at least some of them do work with squeegies for what they earn.
Someone i was with who knows the area and the bars, she told us that in this bar a lot of girls come in with 10 bucks and come out with 10 if ya catch the drift. I suggest you watch out here guys and if you are a girl reading this you probably dont want the kind of guy that a place like this would attract.
ahem~
So like, totally, amazin' and, like, freakin' awesome! Let's go get our hair bleached and get our tips painted bright pink 'cuz that's, like, freakin' awesome! Then let's put on our lowest cut shirts to air out "the girls" and hike up our denim mini skirts 'cuz that's, like, freakin' awesome! And then we can pay $7 for weak drinks and sweat so much it's like competing in a wet t-shirt contest 'cuz that's, like, freakin' awesome! We can get hit on by suspicious guys who don't really speak English and throw up in the bathroom 'cuz that's, like, totally freakin' awesome!
::end scene::
This place is funny when you're out with friends and just want to dance, but after an hour of bad drinks and watching girls dance on tables, I started to get a headache that just wouldn't quit. Lame.
$9 for a premade, barely alcoholic frozen drink in a tacky souvenir-type plastic cup.
there are no words.
hahahahahahaa i can't believe i am giving tequila rain 4 stars....but let me justify my starring actions. the prerequisite for going to TQ: you need to be in the correct mindset...
1 - this is a place that you go to when you don't give a fuck...you just wana dance!
2- this is a club that you can let it all hang out
3- this is a club that is super cheesy, and its fun to be cheesy sometimes
4- this is a club that is like spring break in boston - lots of shots
5- this is a club that is super sloppy fun!
amazing people watching. the guys here are soooo lame (lots of fresh off the boats) with very interesting dance moves. i wouldn't come here to meet a date...maybe a fun 3 seconds of grinding with someone you would never touch in the daylight, but hey, its tequila rain!
the place is huge and if you get a booth by the dance floor, you don't have to carry around your jacket/pay for coat check.
the DJ was actually really good - i was expecting bad pop music and was bracing for it, but lots of good throwback beats were played in addition to "do you love me?" from the 50s. good shit!
only thing -$5 for a coors light? are you serious???
i danced with a blow up doll and it was awesome.
Went here for a bachelorette party this past weekend. It was a lot better than I was expecting. The music was good, although they played a few songs twice, which I found strange.
We were able to find free parking only a couple blocks away, which was awesome.
Like everyone else said, the drinks are TINY and expensive. I might go again if the occasion called for it. The bachelorette/bride enjoyed herself and that is all that matters. :p
I have been to Tequila Rain a few times, and I think it's a great place if you know what you're getting into. The slogan of the place is "Spring Break 52 weeks a year". It's not supposed to be an upscale bar, it is supposed to be college-aged kids, drinking, dancing, Spring-Breakifying. Not for the faint of heart or the uptight.
If you go for dinner, the Nachos Supreme come with everything (cheese, chili, lettuce, salsa, guacomole, sour cream, jalapenos) and the caramel cheesecake was delicious. I had this meal pre-Sox game one day plus a beer and it was overall a great day.
Overpriced drinks, frat boys grinding against you at any given time, and contests that degrade women? SIGN ME UP!
Oh, wait, no, sorry, I just remembered: I have a shred of dignity.
