Went to "Dig Deep's Last Dance" and had an amazing time. The vibe was absolutely on point—chill crowd, friendly staff, and the house music hit the spot. I loved that there was no cover and no dress code; it made the whole night feel so laid-back but still packed with electric energy.
This spot definitely feels like a local gem, and I’m so glad I gave it a shot. Highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance!

Pretty ridiculous entry policy - patrons not let in, in what seems to be nothing more than a petty power trip from the bouncer.

Bouncer turned a group around for having an open container of seltzer… literally just there for a power trip, and the music is nowhere near good enough to justify it lmao
Bouncer won't allow re-entry to certain patrons...
As you can see from the attached photo, the club is not at capacity, as the allotted capacity to this music venue is nowhere near reached.
Therefore a stamped, ID checked, previously entered, sober customer, is unable to reenter, under false reasoning.
Good luck

My favorite Lamb Kebab Dinner in all of greater Boston was here. tender, marinated and nice clean rice pilaf and Greek Salad. Time it right and an eclectic array of after dinner talent shows up.

Same experience with bouncers questioning the validity of IDs— after traveling far to specifically go to their shows they consistently turn down valid IDs at the door for undisclosed reasons.Zuzu/middle east are not places that underage people try to frequent. The crowd is usually well into their 30s&40s. I prefer that crowd over others since I like underground dance and music. Being over 21, this is only a case of ageism that arises from the stress of getting fined by the city and laziness. To avoid that stress, I would recommend learning how to tell a fake from a real ID in an age where travel is ubiquitous and coming across IDs from other states is common. I am a relatively frequent patron but the bouncer who looks like a pirate acts like border control (very un-pirate of him). The pirate didn’t even ask me if I had another form of ID, he just made sure me and my friend did not get into the show we have been meaning to see all week. There was no disrespect on our part, they were just being weird for no reason.If they are so concerned with IDs being valid, they need to buy a scanner. Or be explicit in which types of IDs they accept or do not accept. Put it on their website if I need to bring a passport, but don’t tell me they can’t accept my valid ID and not give a reason why. Terrible energy from the door on this occasion. I’ll be back obviously but hope that one door manager retires, he needs a rest.

the bouncer was so incredibly rude and wanted to confiscate me and my friend’s ID even though we are both 22/23, just because we are from florida.

Didn't have any food. But the drinks and service were great. The event that night was fun. Want to come back and play more retro video games.
