"Brian Piccini’s Dbar has been a gay favorite for years (along with its siblings Boston Chops in the South End and Deuxave in Back Bay). When the dinner plates are cleared, the atmosphere becomes a bit more decadent. Dbar After Dark throws some of the most bacchanalian events on the Boston gay nightlife calendar, attracting hordes of pleasure-seekers for its glow party and raucous Sunday outdoor tea dance. Show Tunes Tuesdays and Karaoke Fridays are neighborhood staples as well. This year’s Stoplight party, always a favorite, will take place on Friday, June 7." - Alex Reimer, Erika Adams
