Kyle TancrellAugust 16, 2013Boston Greenfest come up to the Eco Lounge for great beer and wine that's cheap at City Hall Plaza. Enjoy free snacks, wine and beer in our great lounge area up the stairs by the Naked Grape tent.
Pay your parking tickets downstairs. Be ready for a bag check and metal detector before entering. Probably the safest place against a tornado in downtown Boston. It is built like a fortress.
- Maynard ClarkJune 7, 2012The metal detectors require each building entrant to remove belts, keys, pens, and all pens and coins. The process can take 5-10 minutes. Don't be late for meetings.
Alejandro GuzmanJune 20, 2013I was especting to be the whole day here when i read the reviews... Turns out people are really nice and i was done in 10 minutes
If for whatever reason, you need to obtain your marriage certificate, don't make a trip there on wednesdays because they're closed every wednesdays!
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 13, 2011City Hall was voted in 2008 via Virtualtourist as the UGLIEST BUILDING IN THE WORD. Original design intended to have a beer hall inside similar to those in Germany. More info via our blog.<LINK> Read more
Anthony VDecember 18, 2011The much maligned plaza is fanned shaped, as a reference to the famed palazzo in Siena, Italy (home to the Palio).- City of BostonMarch 29, 2012The Registry Division (which oversees birth, death, and marriage certificates) is CLOSED on Wednesdays. Please plan your visit to City Hall accordingly.

John CampbellNovember 5, 2011One of the world's ugliest buildings. Looks like it was designed by architects form the former Soviet Union.
Kirsten TFebruary 25, 2011Everyone here is so nice and helpful. More than willing to help you with whatever
There's a cafe on the 8th floor with great soup! (you can check in there too!)
Joe DonohueJune 13, 2014It's true: it is ugly. But the department of mental health is much uglier still.- Jeff D.July 19, 2011If you're registering for anything...make it a marriage! It's the shortest line!
Abbey TaylorMay 3, 2012Ugly, not user friendly and unfriendly people working here. Time for a do-over for the city of boston.
The ladies in the Registry Division (births, deaths, marriages) are really nice and helpful.
