Good Life resides in the heart of downtown Boston and is a full lunch/dinner/bar/lounge experience. Down one level is the Afterlife lounge - home to over 150 frozen vodkas and DJs spinning quality music from all genres most days of the week. Newly renovated, family owned and a slice of something different in Boston's downtown.

Sleek downtown lounge's name endures, but everything else has changed.

In Short
Those familiar with The Good Life as a swinging ode to the Sinatra and martini era are surprised to see that the establishment, under new management, has pulled a 180. Local artwork, an upscale vodka bar and contemporary live bands and DJs combine to yield a wholly different atmosphere than that of its predecessor. Downtown workers fill up on modern comfort faves like grilled Cuban sandwiches, mac-and-cheese and grilled salmon.

The best DJ bar in Boston. The music is always on point, the food is excellent, and the service is top notch. I absolutely love the Good Life. You can find me here frequently. The freshest late night hang out around. Be sure to head downstairs to taste over 150 Vodka brands from around the world. It's a Good Life.

The good life is a great place for a beer and a burger. The food is always delicious and I really enjoy the bar's style.

I've been going to The Good Life for years and I've never had a bad time. Seen some great shows downstairs. A classy joint.

Went to dinner at the Good Life last night after seeing a blurb about the Good Lifes chef, Michael Scelfo, being "Bostons Best Kept Secret" in the Stuff at Night food issue this week. Dinner was amazing...perfect rare steak frites, my wifes Cod was wonderful as well. The Tuna Tartar was the best I've had in ages and the bartenders were serving up some mean cocktails. This is absolutely a hidden gem and should be enjoyed by all.

Great after dinner spot! The martinis are the bomb. My buddies and I come here friday nights to relax...then after 10, it gets pretty wild. ALways a good time!
