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,
