Bar FX, opened in December at 90 Commercial Street, is owned by a team of Boston and northeastern U.S. nightclub veterans – Rich Hutchinson and Tim Bonito of NV Concepts; Mike Barrasso, formerly of the Palladium, the Roxy in Boston, and the Hippodrome of Springfield; and Paul Barrasso, who has more than 25 years of experience in the entertainment industry. Bar FX, situated directly across from the
DCU Center, boasts a multi-floor set-up that will offer a variety of entertainment. Floors two and three will be pure electricity – an atmosphere of custom lighting, video and special effects featuring DJs of regional, national and international acclaim. As the duo behind NV Concepts, Hutchinson and Bonito maintain a long and prestigious list of acts that they’ve worked with in the past – including David Guetta, Tiësto, and Pauly D – at venues like the Ocean Club in Quincy, Prime (formerly Umbria in Boston), and Shrine at MGM Foxwoods. In addition to electronic dance music nights, Bar FX will also hold an Anthem Night featuring Top 40, ‘80s music and favorite club anthems; and an 18-plus College Night. Meanwhile, the club’s ground floor will host a warm and contemporary, creative-cuisine restaurant and bar offering a wide selection of beer, wine, and specialty concoctions; sports on TV; and sliding glass doors that lend an open-air feel to the lounge.
