It's pretty sad, I think, 'cause the notion of gay community is disappearing in a real sense. The same kind of thing happened to the Eagle and Spike (not to mention others) in NYC (Chelsea).
The Stable: This welcoming, convivial downtown gay bar is perfect. Be warned before you go that the video monitors often show adult movies. Providence Eagle: Catering to a mostly male, 30s-to-50s crowd, Providence Eagle is a favorite hangout with nightly themes. Rather than keep one of the oldest bars in the country going, the owners sold out to condos. Most places are gay-friendly, but a few cater specifically to the LGBTQ community. Napoleon Club is a perfect example of what's happened. Take a look at these popular gay dance parties and nightclubs in Boston. It's just not as viable to have a club anymore with people hooking up through other means and with the costs associated with operating a club in an expensive city ever escalating. What's happened to Boston gay nightlife is what's happened to NYC gay nightlife: the Internet and - just as importantly - property values, property values, property values!!! The whole Lansdowne block will soon be converted into a huge entertainment complex. I've been away from this thread and it has evolved interestingly. Well, I guess we can add these clubs to the list. What the hell happend to Boston nightlife? It use to be so much more fun. The Linwood the epicenter of the Fenway’s near impossible 1990’s coolness. the Bears if you never saw a show there while packed in like a sardine, you failed Boston 101. Get a time a machine and go back to the 1990's. Cambridgeport Saloon the first dive bar you hit crossing over into Cambridge (or the last dive bar you hit before crossing over into Boston).
