The Leather District's fashionable pool hall and lounge draws mix-and-mingle scenesters. - Eric Grossman
The Scene Felt's 14 colorful pool tables and New York-style lounge bring out hustlers of all stripes. Located just around the corner from the Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common, just as many people come here to take in the scene as they do to shoot pool. The bar's plush decor and playful lighting fixtures create a unique feel. Slinky cocktail waitresses do their best to not interfere with anyone's shot.
The Draw The pricey, stylish pool tables are spread over the second and third floors, make this the hippest place to play in the downtown area. Several bars are set up among Felt's four floors, and some patrons enjoy dinner service or appetizers. The house menu has a nouveau riche feel, with designer salads and pizzas available. The third-floor balcony gives those waiting to shoot a chance to spy on the games (and people) below.
