We’re here. We’re queer. We want a beer.The Guerrilla Gay Bar folks are taking over the only straight hangout in Boston with its own mechanical bull. Yes, they’re infiltrating the Liquor Store, 120 Boylston Street starting at 9 p.m. Friday, May 2.
According to the e-mail blast, organizers Daniel and Josh want to teach Boston’s straight masses "how to ride." Of course, they’re referring to the Liquor Store’s mechanical bull.
The guerrilla gay bar idea is a great concept: a group of GLBTs sign up for an e-mail list, the organizer chooses a traditionally straight establishment (like last month's event at Landowne Street’s uber-straight bar, Tequila Rain).
Here’s my write-up on the fine Boylston Street establishment for Povo:
The bar's mechanical bull perpetuates an "Urban Cowboy" meets "Girls Gone Wild" vibe. With large open spaces, VIP couches, a velvet rope and killer Cosmos, this Theatre District haunt is not the place to go for those looking for a laid-back night on the town. It’s drunken craziness at its best.
Only open late on Friday and Saturday nights, the Liquor Store recently served as a backdrop for the filming of an episode of Oxygen Channel’s "Bad Girls Road Trip" when the crew made a pit stop in Boston.
