Scorpion Bar Boston

Scorpion Bar sits on Seaport Boulevard, a five-minute walk from Fan Pier Marina. The room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a nightlife aesthetic that prioritizes high-energy sets of house, dance, and hip-hop.

Most venues along the waterfront aim for a subdued pace, but this room commits entirely to the party. It is a more aggressive alternative to the nearby Institute of Contemporary Art, representing a shift away from the predictable rhythm of the rest of the district. If you want a quiet drink, go elsewhere; the floor here stays moving long after the nearby Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum has closed its gates for the night.
