Machine is an old-school style dance club with a state of the art sound system and light show with one of the biggest dance floors in Boston. An essential player in Boston nightlife since 1998, Machine continues to feature top notch entertainment in the form of DJ driven dance nights, theater shows, drag shows, themed parties, private events, benefits, karaoke, and game nights. Along with the poolroom, now known as “The Ballroom”, there is something to do almost every night at Machine. The weekend begins with “Machine Friday”; Boston's longest running gay dance night with DJ Jay Ine in Machine and DJ Ian Diver in The Ballroom. Always packed with a great looking crowd, Friday’s is all ages with weekly themes, cd releases, bands, and drag shows. Saturday night has four rotating parties: First Saturday is “Blend”; an adventure into underground techno. Second Saturdays, Kristen Porter brings “Dyke Night” to Machine with DJ Dena, Third Saturday is fetish night with “Sin-O-Matic”. Mondays are legendary for “All Star Monday” with DJ Jay Ine and a drag show with hostess Lili Whiteass. Thursday is Karaoke in The Ballroom with VJ Paulina Lubio & Rob Botelho on the bar.

DJ Jay Ine plays Top 40, remixes, Electro, and vocal house in the big room. DJ Diver plays the best of the 90's, 2000's, and today in The Ballroom. Photos by Corey Banda Photography. Great Drag Show in the Lounge.
Founded in 2009, by the Bodega Crew with a goal of creating more places for punks to loiter, artists to flourish, and more voices to be heard. The idea was to turn dormant commercial spaces into pop up gallery spaces reclaiming urban space for public art projects and progressive exhibitions. We keep it independent/free form and curate cultural artifacts for the neighborhood. We settled into our current location at 132 brookline Ave. Boston MA 02215 a wonderful 3,000 square foot gallery with many possibilities.
