The Alley Bar

Bear, Fetish, Cruising

This veteran gay bear leather cruise bar is hidden away in downtown, providing cheap drinks, dancing, and an unpretentious atmosphere. Recurring parties like Fuzz and Casual Fridays draw a very manly and cruisy crowd, and popular local DJs play an eclectic soundtrack from Top 40 to artsy indie pop. Craft beer, lively music, karaoke, pool, and most importantly lots of men make The Alley Bar a hidden gem.

Fenway Victory Gardens

Older Crowd, Cruising

The park as a whole can be quite cruisy, with some sheltered areas to get some privacy. Mainly older guys, but younger, straight and curious men come along as well. Cruising is busier in the evening hours, but be careful of groups of people as there have been bashings in the park. A busier area of the park is in the north, along the muddy river, where the park narrows out towards the Charles River, also known as Charlesgate Park.

Belle Isle Marsh Reservation

Men Only, Cruising

Cruisy parking lot and marsh paths. People in the parking lot, all the time, or walking down the multiple paths. Cruising at benches and bridges. People go and hide in the bushes and trees.

Joe Moakley Park

Younger Crowd, Cruising

Close to Carson Beach, this urban park features baseball & soccer fields, a spray area & a jogging track. There can be cruising throughout the park, but particularly near the tennis courts. Plenty of benches around to sit and watch people go by. Mainly young, sporty guys here and the evening is a popular time to cruise.

Skywalk Observatory

Mixed Ages, Cruising

With great views of the city guaranteed, we're told there can also be some cruising activity here too. Mainly tourists, so you should be discrete, but see if anyone catches your eye.

Arnold Arboretum Harvard

Mixed Ages, Cruising

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is a museum of trees teaching the world about plants, spread across a 281-acre preserve. Plenty of privacy here with all the trees, especially when the leaves are out. Popular in the evening, but you may find action at any time of the day. It's a mixed crowd, including married men, students and laborers. Check behind the Hunnewell Building, Hemlock Hill and behind the State Lab.

Clark Athletic Center UMB

Younger Crowd, Cruising

Head to the pool locker room where you will find a wide selection of guys from students and teachers to University staff and visitors. It's a cruisy place where you can find people engaging if you make eye contact. Guys mostly meet up here and then go to the parking garage next door or elsewhere. The locker room is accessible both from the Pool and from the main part of the Clark Athletic Center. A door just outside leads right to the parking garage.

Revere Beach

Mixed Ages, Cruising

Lots of curious dudes around of all ages. At night there's lots of guys in their cars and younger dudes looking for action.

Carson Beach

Mixed Ages, Cruising

There are two parking lots here, and that's where you can often find people looking to play. Gay guys, bi guys and straight couples, there should be something for everyone. Open all day, but most cruising in the evenings. Keep an eye out for Police patrols.

Old Colony YMCA - Stoughton

Younger Crowd, Cruising

In the bottom floor men's locker room. There's a sauna and shower area connected to the locker room so it's normal to be naked in there. Lots of athletic younger guys and older guys. Making eye contact and small talk is how you find people here.
