Mariel Underground

Reservations are a must but cannot be made earlier than a month in advance. It's a lounge like setting meaning the standard table can easily accommodate for a table of 6 and the larger tables can hold 10 people or more. I enjoyed the music and the dark vampiresque vibe. Our waitress was very nice and made it a point to visit our table as much as she could. Fair warning for those with bigger appetites to get food elsewhere first as prices are high and portions are small. Between three people we ordered 6 dishes and were still hungry. We tried their calamari, pork empanadas, Snow crab corn arepas, chorizo pizza as well as their chicken pizza. Did I mention the plates were small? Food quality was a step above bar food but not by much. In the future, I would be entirely satisfied with just getting their XL pitchers. Although $150 each, you definitely get more bang for your buck as opposed to ordering a bunch of individual drinks. We got the mango margarita which was tasty and not overly sweet.When it came to turning into the club, they slowly start putting up the velvet dividers and kindly informed us it was 30 mins before ending the dinning in. The music quickly turned into dated and dry music that we didn't end up staying much longer past. Overall, we had a good time and would plan to stick it through the awkward transition into the club phase.

I went here after having drinks at Mariel upstairs. They didn't charge us cover and they had a free coat check. I LOVED the music and it was fun to dance. The drinks upstairs were good. Here at the club, I ordered a Hendricks soda with lemon which somehow tasted really bad. I wonder if they were actually using Hendricks? Anyway they charged like $17 for this which was more expensive than the really good drinks upstairs. I say drink a bunch upstairs then only come downstairs to dance.Right before I left, I asked for a glass of water. For some reason it tasted sweet which was really weird and creeped me out. What was in the water? Anyway, I left it.

Ate upstairs pretty early and then went to another bar to come back. It was right after a snowstorm and the bouncer asked if we were on the list? This was a post snowstorm Saturday night at like 9pm? Wouldn't let us in... probably because we were in puffy jackets but it was with 6 girls and Boston was around 20 degrees that night. We called to complain about our interaction and was told it was up to the bouncers discretion? LMFAO so guess everyone was TOO ugly for here.... But the inside looked dead and all of Boston was dead so I didn't quite understand the "exclusivity" for a place that had no line to get inside and we were visiting from New York so this place can F off xx

YOUR POOR SOUTH BEACH MIAMI BUSINESS PRACTICES WONT WORK IN BOSTON!We Spent $1,000 on dinner and drinks with friends upstairs and on my way out I asked the bouncer at the door if we couldcheck out the club, being my first time there. He gave me an excuse that it was reservation only, and he didn't seem interested in letting us in. Little does he know that he just pushed away more $$$$ I was willing to spend. You and your GM can eat my hotdog! You work for 12$/hour.This place reminds me of south beach Miami where people are all flash and no cash, and the clubs have to filter out the people with no money. Well this is Boston and if you continue poor business practices then you'll be out of business real quick! Best of luck sustaining a profitable business treating people poorly.

It was horrible. The staff/bouncers were rude and power hungry for no reason. They block off the entire middle of the room so you are left dancing in very limited space. Do not recommend, stay far away from this place. An absolute joke.

Don't go here. I was at Mariel Underground tonight and I got punched in the eye and I went inside trying to seek help because I was in pain and the bouncer told me to get out of the lobby area and stand out on the street alone. He offered no help and did not even evaluate me to see if I was okay. I do not think this was acceptable and I was just looking for help and he told me to leave by myself. Mariel, I think you need to evaluate your staff because if there was a serious emergency somebody could have gotten seriously injured and the situation could have been worse than it was.

ALL GIRLS BE AWARE: THEY HAVE A ROOFIE PROBLEM. There have been multiple reports of girls getting roofied here and one of my closest friends was roofied at this place very recently and she had her drink in her hand the whole time. The manager & employees are unhelpful and aren't taking the situation seriously at all. Be aware and honestly just avoid this place. Terrible establishment and unsafe.

Sooo... the music is good, the place is small but has a very good vibe. However the biggest issue for me was that the bar charged me $30 instead of $23 ($18 for the drink + $5 tip). Just not okay.

One of the best places I have ever been to Their cocktails are so good We had a drink at the bar before we were seated for dinner, loved the vibe and the energy Can't wait to go back again Strongly recommend

Paul mgullian was the bouncer at this time who has apparently known the owner of this bar for ten years..We went to go downstairs and we asked if there was room for five and the bouncer said to my gal pal "let me see you move" she initially thought he meant move out of the way.. the bouncer then again said "no, let me see you move"... we decided this place was not for us and we let the lead bouncer know... heads up, these people questionable..
