Boston Entertainment Board Reviews Swingers’ Live Entertainment Expansion for Boilston Street Venue
- Meeting Overview:
The Boston Entertainment Application Board discussed a proposal from Swingers Boss LLC to expand its live entertainment offerings on Boilston Street. The application sought permission for disc jockeys, athletic games, mini golf, and automatic amusement devices, withdrawing a previous request for karaoke. After community consultations, the board was mainly supportive, pending certain conditions.
Swingers Boss LLC, represented by Attorney Tom Miller, introduced its unique entertainment concept, combining mini golf, termed “crazy golf,” with high-quality food and a variety of arcade games in a 1920s English countryside-themed environment. The venue, set to open in late February, aims to cater primarily to an adult crowd, with operating hours proposed until midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends. The applicant withdrew the karaoke component following community concerns. The venue plans to offer a flexible atmosphere with a disc jockey to control music dynamically.
Community engagement has played a critical role in shaping the proposal. The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay did not oppose the project as long as karaoke was excluded. The applicant assured the board of robust noise mitigation measures, including non-opening windows and soundproofing materials, to prevent disturbances. Furthermore, Swingers confirmed the presence of 20 internal and 2 external security cameras, with footage retained for 30 days, along with a commitment to submit detailed operational and security plans.
