Venue Details

About

The Alley is a bar located down Pi Alley near State and Downtown Crossing. This bar tends to be the go-to spot for the bear, cub, otter, and daddy crowds.

Recently renovated, it has 2 floors and regularly screens sporting events (including RuPaul's Drag Race) on their TVs and projectors. Dance parties on the upper level feature a DJ, though some might find the pool table up there to be in the way.

Dyke Night

  Starts in 12 hours

Wednesday,  to 

DYKE NIGHT - January 22, and every 4th Wednesday after that at the Alley Bar: 14 Pi Alley, Boston. 8pm-late! Suggested donation is $10~ if you can’t do that, it’s pay-what-you-can sliding scale. With local DJs and demo performers every month (see their official page for more info).

Get out that harness. You know what’s going on. Same time, same place, new dykes, this time with an emphasis on mutual aid!

Dyke Night at the Alley because is more than a cruising event. It’s a place to congregate as a community, a place to find your people, a safe place to express yourself.

We believe queer joy is the loudest form of resistance.

Your Dyke Night staff has discussed how we can use our platform to support our community:

Every cent we make after covering costs and paying talent will be going to orgs and efforts around the country focused on aiding the survival of LGBTQ+ people, no matter what comes next.

Dyke Night will always operate on a suggested donation model. Money should never be a limiting factor to ones ability to access to community spaces. That being said, we will be making our suggested donation $10 moving forward for those who have the means. The more we make, the more we have to redistribute back to our comrades.

DRESS CODE: pervert-casual. Show us what you want, from liberation to leather. Flagging encouraged! We will have *some* colors for sale at the event.

TRANSPORTATION: Parking is available at the Pl Alley Garage at 275 Washington Street. There is validated parking available after 5PM and we get a discount of $3 off the posted rate in the garage, just make sure to have a door-person validate your ticket. There is also plenty of on-street parking at night midweek. The venue is also one block from the Blue, Orange and Green lines at State and Government Center and a quarter mile walk from the Orange and Red lines at Park Street.

ACCESSIBILITY: The bar entrance is accessible via the sidewalk. The event itself will mostly take place up 1.5 flights of stairs. The venue has a wheelchair elevator and wheelchair accessible bathrooms on the first floor.
