Sometimes it seems all but impossible to find an unpretentious nightspot unencumbered by the, shall we say, nuances of Boston’s bar scene—self-important doormen, embittered waitresses, barely legal college kids. Thank goodness for the Hotel Commonwealth’s Foundation Lounge. Sultry recorded Latin jazz croons low enough to allow conversation at one of the low and low-lit tables, and flirty waiters deliver top-of-the line drinks. Try any of the bartender’s specials—we loved the raspberry vodka, Bacardi Limón, Midori, blackberry brandy, and Chambord, straight up with a sugared rim—or nibble at elegant plates of sushi and zensai (Japanese small bites). At last, a place with no pretension—just good, friendly fun.

Foundation was the most pretentious of the most pretentious clubs in Boston. Awful. Awful crowd, awful doorman, and the line out front is the most obnoxious plea for attention I have ever seen, there is no need for it, the place is empty inside. Awful review for an awful club.

Frankly I am appalled by the way we were treated by your staff at the door tonight. I explained to them that there was no reason to yell and that we spent quite a bit of money at your facility (two of our friends who were in your line have thrown several parties at foundation). They stated that lots of people spent money at your facility and that we could wait in line till 2 AM. This is disgusting as we have been coming to your facility for the last three years and have spent a significant amount of money there). If you don't value your customers, that is fine, We will not be returning.
