Vintage gay

If you like my weekly vintage gay posts and are on Pintrest, I suggest you follow Jeff Stookey. His account collects vintage images that you are certain to enjoy. I want to thank him for reaching out and sharing his account. Who can say for sure if these men are friends or something more. Perhaps there is more than meets the eye to their relationship. Regardless it is a great photo from the late 20s.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

Trophy Room reopens today @4PM

The Trophy Room which is located at 26 Chandler Street in the StayPineapple boutique hotel (formerly the Chandler Inn) in the South End will reopen today (Wednesday, August 4th) for the first time since closing in March 2020. Today’s “soft” opening is a promising sign, but the bar will initially only be open Wednesday through Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday).

Below are several photos of the restaurant and bar. While closed, the management team took time to update the interior giving the space a whimsical “Alice in Wonderland” vibe. New, comfortable bar and high top chairs and flooring are varying shades of white, grey and black that contrast with the satin, chartreuse used in the dining room and lounge space.

The hours of operation will change over time but initially will be Wednesday – Saturday from 4PM – 12AM and Sunday 12PM – 8PM. The management team is planning to host one drag event each week but that is contingent upon several variables. Brunch will be served all day on Sunday.

Stop by and check out the newly redesigned Trophy Room.
