The downtown Boston club was a local staple, known for its diverse music lineup and connections with homegrown DJs. It closes on Dec. 17.
Techno. House. Rap. Reggae. Those are just some of the genres of musicplayed frequently during its 17 years in business. On Dec. 17, the downtown Boston bar will close permanently.
Other patrons at the bar echo similar sentiments. Saira Lopes, 34, has been frequenting Good Life for a decade. “Young people can come together, especially people of color, and we can have fun and we can get together, enjoy our own music…It’s really sad that this space that has been safe for so long is closing.
Good Life also hosted DJ meetups, where local and out-of-town DJs could connect and learn from each other, including big names like DJ Craze. “It was an opportunity for me, a hip-hop DJ, to come meet the DJ who's doing music for the LGBTQ parties or the one’s doing the reggae parties,” Idiokitas says. In a 2018 piece for WBUR, Senior Arts & Culture reporter Amelia Mason covered the hostility rap and hip-hop DJs and artists face trying to book venues in Boston.
