Time Out says

Often playing second banana to the nearby Paradise Rock Club, the BMH actually holds its own when it comes to quality shows from both touring and local acts. Dueling bars with a decent selection flank the space, ensuring a drink is never far away. Walk past the stage into the mysterious back area for an inexplicable but enjoyable smattering of pool tables.

What’s on

Gimme Gimme Disco

If you’ve ever found yourself belting out “Dancing Queen” at a questionable hour, Gimme Gimme Disco is your kind of night. This isn’t just another retro party with a tired playlist. The DJs here know exactly how to keep a dance floor moving, weaving ABBA’s glittery anthems with deep cuts and crowd-pleasers from Cher, The Bee Gees, and Donna Summer. It’s a rare chance to hear these tracks in a room full of people who actually want to dance, not just nod along. The crowd skews toward those who appreciate a good costume and aren’t afraid of a little sequined nostalgia, but you’ll spot plenty of first-timers getting swept up in the fun. If you’re looking for a night that’s pure, unpretentious joy, this is it. Just don’t forget your platform shoes.
