This dance club/bar does have a dress code, but it's a fairly lenient one. Men should wear a nice, collared shirt; though The Boiler Room's website doesn't mention a dress code for women, it can be assumed that they should dress in a similar casual-but-nice style. Their hours are 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
