Howl at the Moon Boston Review

Music a drinks always great. Food is good for bar food.

Upstairs was interesting with dialing pianos but not music suitable to dance to. Downstairs was very good for dancing and they dont charge extra to use the downstairs.

Solid place with really good happy hour prices. The crowd is a good spread of all ages, so there's something for everyone

I woke up in some town I hadn't heard of since I was in 3rd grade without my wallet or phone charger. But, the gods surprised me with twin blondes there with me. They were celebrating their 21st birthdays at your place. It was probably very fun and I will be telling all my friends, and someday probably my grandchildren. Thanks HATM!

During the 2018 Harry Potter Pub Crawl, we stopped at Howl. At Howl, we had the opportunity to enter our names to win a Happy Hour Party. This past Friday I arranged for some friends and coworkers to attend. Everyone had a lot of fun! They all loved the discounted drinks, complimentary buffet, and not having to pay a cover charge. My friend also won a party so we will definitely be back soon! Thanks Howl for a fun night!

If I could rate 0 star, I would. My very first time there and I was enjoying the music while talking to a friend. Then all of the sudden, one of the waitresses pushed me very badly. She was extremely aggressive and rude. When I asked her why did you push me so badly, she said I was in her way. This is absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. When I brought up the issue to the manager, she went to talk to the aggressive waitress. Then the aggressive waitress jumped to find the bouncers. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a club in my life. The experience was very bad and a complete waste of my time and money.

fun vibe - get there early if you want to enjoy before it gets too crazy.

So fun! They had a great live band the night I went and then the club on the bottom floor was even more fun! Cheap cover too!

Live piano bar. Great spot for casual night out with a group of friends.

This place was dead! Other HATM locations run specials on slower nights to get a good turnout, but there was nothing special going on. The music being played was pretty low volume. Low enough to where you can hear the stick taps on the rubber pads over the simulated drum noises.

Nothing special. Sticky floors. Loud music and drunk people and $10 cover

Good price for Boston and always has great live music. Can get crowded, but what can you expect from a place that delivers such an awesome experience.

If you're a freshman in college looking to get wasted for way too much money and sing along to crappy country music, this is your place. If you are anyone, really anyone else at all, give this place a wide berth.

Went for the first time last night with my boyfriend and his friend. Pretty cool place, average pricing I imagine (the boys paid for everything). There is a $10 cover just to get in, but the atmosphere and the music is worth it. The musicians that perform the "karaoke" are very talented and I noticed them rotating between instruments frequently and seamlessly. You can request songs from them, and the variety is pretty good. They did everything from Elton John to Britney Spears to Cardi B and even Metallica. It does get very loud in there; if you dont mind talking at concert volume then you'll be fine. Make sure you get there EARLY. Like, 6 PM. It fills up very fast and people tend to hang out so finding a table takes a bit. And if you get there after 8 you may get stuck waiting in line out front.

Kathleen the server who has been there 3 months should be given manager training!!

A bought a bud light just to used the bathroom. The End...

Went with a group of friends had a great time definitely recommend it

The live music is so much fun, and the singers know all different types of music. Great place if your looking to dance and have a good time. The bucket drinks are good too.

The bands were phenomenal. Had to look several times to see if it was the radio. Great crowd, very diverse in all categories. Perfect for anyone.

Young crowd with great live music. I won a happy hour raffle here and it most drinks were between $2-$4! Even with a $10 cover on weekend nights it is worth it for the price.

Fun time! Good music. Pretty big college/post-college crowd. Lots of bachelorette and birthday parties. Was hard to see the musicians since there were so many people standing on the stage, but that added to the festive atmosphere.

Such a fun hang out spot- make sure to enter the drawing for a free happy hour party!

I'll give it 5 stars. Would love to hear more Nickelback on my next visit!

Came here with a bachelorette party a few weeks ago and we had fun. The live music was good, they had a band that played a lot of 90s/early 2000s music. However the drinks were expensive and they didn't have any drink specials available. We requested a shout out for our bachelorette with the band and in the 2.5 hours we were there they never did it. However, they did let the bride in free for her special night so that made it good for her.

Good atmosphere. Temp inside was little cold. Drinks were alright but good value

Amazing! The amount of knowledge the dueling piano players had was amazing! They did great on every song that was requested! Great Boston experience.

A fun but expensive night out. Talented musicians and early in the night it is the opposite of a sausage fest with all the bachelorette parties.

Last night, I was dancing downstairs with my girlfriend just like usual, we've been to this spot a few times and have always had good experiences. However, a random guy got in between us and then got in my face, trying to pick a fight with me. I stood there looking at him, asking what he was doing, and a bouncer (one who had long hair in a ponytail) suddenly shoved me out. He kept claiming that I was "about to punch him" when I wasn't doing anything. And he was shoving me violently out of there, and of course I'm not one to pick a fight a bouncer, I know better than that. So the guy who got in my face proceeds to shove my girlfriend, and it is only then that the other bouncers pay attention and try to find him and kick him out. This is also after the manager came down and said he wouldn't do anything, claiming it was a problem of "he said, she said" even though my girlfriend was shoved, and our two other friends witnessed this. I was wrongly tossed out, my girlfriend was shoved, and the staff was overall not very helpful and we did not feel very welcome. It was really not a good experience and I'm extremely disappointed in the establishment, staff and management.

Came here for a friend's birthday outing and had an absolute blast - the drink menu isn't huge, but they have fun options and light choices as well (for those watching their calorie count!). The live music was a blast and the performers talented. A hilarious added bonus is the little blackboards where you can throw a few dollars down to write something on - my friends decided to announce that I was single and posted my partial phone number up there. Was a total blast.

I love the idea of this place. Its a lot of fun and the atmosphere is great.

However, the dink are bad. Just some syrup with alcohol and the food is not good as well.
It's very expensive to reserve a table and almost impossible to find one on a weekend

This place has some nice live music and a fun crowd.

These tots are amazing! Stopped by here for a little pregameing before the lil cruise. I ordered the buffalo chic tots from the appetizers.... so so so good! They are not tots like you see everywhere. These are like real potato made tots deepfried into yumminess! I'm craving them now as I write this!
Goes good with a beer!

Great place nice staff great drinks & great food!!!

It would be crazy if the piano bar actually played piano music....seriously, it s a millennial dance club...

A solid place for live music and drinks but if that's not your taste, you can always go downstairs for a nightclub feel. But just an fyi, if you go later at night go to the nightclub entrance first that way you'll have access to both upstairs and downstairs with out any problems.

Classy and the food was delicious! Awesome live music!

Love the atmosphere here. Live band, can make personal requests. Food and drinks are delish! Yes!!

Nice place to hangout in live music section but not good in club downstairs

I booked a table in advance. When we arrived the night of, they let us pick from several reserved tables which was nice. The entertainment, drinks, food and service were all amazing. The prices for food and beverages were very reasonable considering the location. Definitely can't wait to visit Howl at the Moon Boston next we're in town!

Great space, great vibes, great food and drinks. If you have the option to attend a party/host one, you won't regret it.

I love coming here! The food, service, music and drinks are always excellent! It's a fun place to have a drink, listen to some music or dance the night away!

Oh damn can't explain how much fun we had at this place. The Jell-O shots were crazy and the dance floor(which is opens around 11pm) opens up all new wonders. Best time to be at this place is after 10 in the night.

Dropped in on a Saturday night for some drinks and live music. The cover was $10, which I think is pricey considering the quality of the music and the fact that the drinks/food themselves are expensive, but that could just be me and that's fine. Service is nice enough, not that they can be super engaging and quick when the bar is slammed. We managed to grab the last two chairs at the bar itself while a lot of other people stood or were on the dance floor. The cover band had a full repertoire of oldies and new songs, so there's variety. We only stayed for about an hour, which was enough time to drink a Hurricane out of a bucket (highly recommend, and you get to keep the bucket). Overall, for Boston, this place is fun and lively but not necessarily the place to be when you're looking for cheap drinks and good music.

Such a fun piano bar. The song selection depends on the crowd, but the players can pretty much play anything. We went on a Sunday night and there was no cover. Even though it was empty, the players still had so much energy. Drinks are reasonably priced. They have typical bar beers on tap. Will definitely come back again!

Amazing party, so funky and live music always there... Great selection of beers and drinks... Must try the Cocktails!!!

It was quiet but fun with the pianos/band putting on a lively show with covers and requests

Fun spot with live music. Not a great place to have a conversation, as it is loud, but lively!

Went here on a Thursday night to just enjoy a solo night out. Loved the service at the bar and the service when I later sat at a table. Both the bartender and server were super friendly and accommodating despite how busy they happened to be from a larger party that had part of the space reserved. The musicians were a lot of fun engaging with the crowd and taking song request! Was a fun time. Only didn t put 4 stars because I thought the drinks were kind of overpriced for the quality. But then again, haven t found many places downtown that aren t overpriced.

Great staff very attentive however the food lacks flavor. The atmosphere is pretty cool and relax. It's a good place to hang out after a long day and grab a drink.

I have always had fun every time I have gone here, I would highly recommend going and I would recommend getting a bucket or two... Maybe even three.

Great music. Staff seemed a little overwhelmed and understaffed but friendly and helpful.

Decent bouncers , average Boston collage crowd . Just enjoy the aroma of warm puke

Howl at the mon is definitely the place to be for a night of fun! There's a live band, great music and you can make song requests! It was my first time there and I had such a great time!

This place is lit!! I met friends here on a Thursday night and it was a blast. Didn't like the cover charge but the atmosphere was very festive.

Hands down one of the best clubs I ve been to. The drinks and food were amazing. The performers were very talented and involved with the crowd. The place had literally two floors the top floor a live band and the basement had a talented DJ. I will continue to return here. If you re in Boston I highly recommend stopping here!

A must visit if you're in Boston! The atmosphere there is something else. Especially when there is a live Band!

It gets very packed but the two pianos is a ton of fun!

This place is a great alternative to a traditional club. The band is really great, and the crowd is very energetic. Even early in the evening! Unlike other places that don't get busy until 11pm. Great bar, free food between 6-8pm some nights. Make sure you sign up to win a party!

Great atmosphere!! Nice you could dance on the stage with the singers and players.

Fun bar to go to for live music. Have a club downstairs too but you have to go around the other side

Drinks are a bit weak but the music is on point! Bring friends for a great time!

Fun piano bar that's a nice place to grab a drink downtown. Drink selection has quite a bit to be desired and the prices could be lower. Overall a not a bad place but there is better out there.

I liked this place. We stopped in for a quick drink. Before things were really starting to happen. The staff was really nice. I'm not sure if it's a comedy bar or a all venue bar but it was an interesting place.

This was my first time at Howl at the Moon so I didn't know what to expect. Its like a DJ & piano performer mixed all in one. The ladies on stage were awesome as a cover band. The bartender could've been a little more attentive when my drink was empty but the drinks were good.

Awesome music and atmosphere, bartenders were very attentive and friendly!

I will never be going to this place again. I have never met more twisted sick bouncers in my life. Paid $60 for NYE ticket. Every other time I have been here you can go up and down to the main floor and dance floor downstairs. Apparently the only time this doesn't apply is on NYE when you pay $60 and it's not written clearly whatsoever on their website. Don't even think about complaining to the trash staff if you want to stay inside. I got kicked out for calmly stating how unfair it was and the uneducated "manager" asked me how much cocaine I did (none) ........ very professional. I have never been so disrespected by staff at a establishment in my entire life. To top it off they "lost" my coat and my friends had to argue with incompetent bouncers for a hour to try and get it while I stood outside in the 20 degree weather in a dress. I will be contacting corporate for a full refund and will not stop until I get it. Do not waste your time at this place.

Horrible customar service. Their body guard Michael discriminates against people and doesn t let them in based on nothing. Spent over a hundred dollars in this establishment as a group for them to now allow a friend to come back in when she as perfectly sober.
