I remember sneaking in (I was underaged) with friends and had a blast. I only remember Buddies when it was located on Stuart Street in the Theatre District. The dance floor was small, and during the weekend mornings it was a place to have brunch (with omelettes made to order). 'The 1270 (it was also known as Quest in the mid- to late-90s) was a great 3 story club with a roof deck at 1270 Boylston,at the other end of the same building where Ramrod is.There is some type of latin flavor breeder's club there now.' - submitted by near the Fleet Center (Boston Garden) on Friend Street, near Haymarket and North End. The owners of 119 moved its business toward Downtown Crossing at Pi Alley. for the building is currently being regutted and converted into offices or condos. It was located across the Boston Common on Boylston Street, where now the Four Seasons is located. Not sure what the name was, but I was told there used to be a bar or diner where gay men frequented back in the 70s and 80s.
