Editorial Review for An Tua Nua – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
On Red Sox game nights, expect a mix of older and younger patrons celebrating a win or drowning their sorrows. Otherwise--when school's in session--this is one of Boston University's most popular bars. Despite the occasional goth or reggae night, you can count on a clean-cut, student crowd dancing to contemporary music.
The Draw
A long, handsome bar serves up an excellent assortment of beers and spirits. The front tables enjoy an open-air view of Beacon Street. When there isn't a Sox game during the day, this is a great spot for a quiet pint or meal. The standard bar menu offers burgers and salads as well as the usual snacks, including heaping plates of nachos and fries. Come late night on weekends, the place gets packed as freshly scrubbed singles shake to whatever's playing.

Last night I stopped by Tua Nua after the Red Sox game, expecting to stay for just one drink. They had Rock Band set up on one side of the bar and Nintendo Wii on the other side. While my friends and I waited to play Rock Band we played operation and connect four. I really enjoyed the night and will definitely go back.

I went to An Tua Nua last night for a friend's birthday. I hadn't been before so I didn't know what to expect but I was really disappointed. There are so many bars in Boston to choose from, I certainly wouldn't bother wasting my time going back here. The music was poor. The dance floor was massive but there weren't enough people so you felt ridiculous(and it was Saturday night!!!). There is only 1 bathroom for women by the main bar which means there's constantly a massive line. Once I finally managed to get to use the bathroom I felt like I would catch something, it was so dirty. The manager (at least I think he was the manager) was rude. My friends and I were joking around with some straws....admittedly not the most mature thing to do but it was his birthday and it was a bit of a long running joke, so the manager got annoyed. Rather than talking to us then and there, he didn't say anything but when we went to buy our next drinks they wouldn't serve us because we'd "had enough". I had only had 2 beers and would be the first to admit it if I had. I asked him about his decision and he was totally obnoxious. So if you want a place where you can't have a laugh with your friends without being penalized, the dance floor is pathetic and you spend 80% of your evening in the line for the bathroom...this is your venue! Personally, try somewhere else!
Pros: Cheap(ish)
Cons: Rude staff, constant line for bathroom,
