| I heard about "after-hours" joints in Boston -- like you say underground places that opened up after the legal bars had to close at 2:00 am -- in the 70s. There was one downtown that lots of people knew about. I never went to one myself but I did go to a 24-hour restaurant in Chinatown that used to serve booze in coffee cups after two: it reminded me of the "cup of coffee" Gleason used to drink at the beginning of his TV show. I was also told there was a legal but clandestine gay bar in Boston back then that kept the cops off their back by re-opening around 3 am as a cops-only private club. The story was that this was a place with no sign in front so nobody but the gays and the cops knew about it. That one sounds like a legend but who knows? |
