Mini Recap: Friday Night at Saint


So another one bites the dust...one of my party friends Abra is setting her sites on New York after passing The Bar. Yaaaaaay Abra you will be missed!!!

She decided to have her soiree at Saint (90 Exeter Street, Near Prudential) a weekly party with no cover before 10 and after that it's $10 (if you call them to get on the list) or $20 if you don't.

Fab! Friend Abra, BostonFab! Correspondent Chanelle, BostonFab!

Gladly we showed up at 10:30 there wasn't a line and the place wasn't packed. I like the fact that there are 3 different settings. There's the white bar, the red bar, and the black/blue bar. We first started out in the red room where there was a relaxed vibe, with a female DJ spinning smooth R&B hits while we sat on comfy black couches amidst the velvet colored walls. A Grey Goose and cranberry set Fab! Correspondent Chanelle, back only $9 and it was well made.

For a more upbeat vibe we headed to the black/blue room where the international crowd (almost every nation was represented) and although amicable some people needed to keep their hands to themselves - uh- yeah but mostly people stuck with their own group. The DJ was pretty good and kept us groovin' to the latest in top 40, kept it simple, didn't do anything fancy by playing mostly top 40 w/ a few dips back to the old skool - he played the songs long enough for you to get into it then moved on to the next using transitions that didn't interrupt the flow.

The international crowd

We only stayed 'til around 12 by then the party was in full swing although not overcrowded and as we left they were already holding a very long line.

I would recommend Saint if you like to lounge and get your groove on with typical beats, but not so typical people, but suggest you arrive before the price goes up 'cuz I think a $20 cover is ridiculous for a weekly party.

I give it a B.
