BSMNT

BSMNT is the nightclub below the W Boston on Stuart Street, with a calendar built around DJs and dancing. Both emerging and established performers play the room, so the lineup is worth looking at before you settle on a night. Its 200-person capacity puts it on a different scale from Boston’s larger clubs, and the basement location keeps the action downstairs from the hotel.

Admission is for guests 21 and older. Regular opening nights are Thursday through Saturday, with Thursday starting at 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 9:30 p.m. Check the specific event for tickets and entry details before heading over. This is a place to plan around the music and a late start.
