This is part of a weekly series featuring Boston nightspots of interest to the BU community. Ive got a good friend coming out for his first ever Boston visit. She can be reached at follow her on Twitter at kcornuel. Kimberly Cornuelle can be found most probably dancing at HalloQween this month. Parking information: There are 80 complimentary parking spaces on the Amory Street side of the Brewery Complex (do not park in the 15-minute spots next to Amory Street or you may be towed). Bella Luna & Milky Way Lounge is on the first floor, with main entrance on the right side of the building, next to the smokestack. The Brewery Complex is 1/2 mile on the left. Turn left exiting the station, walk up Boylston Street to the first stoplight, and take a right onto Amory Street. MBTA: Take the Orange Line to Stony Brook Station.

The Milky Way hosts the event once a month, with DJ Kris Kono. There are gay bars in town, but for the lesbian set, Kristen Porter has kept the dance vibe going with Dyke Night, held at different venues around town ($6). In Boston, queer dance culture is a moveable feast. Milky Way is open seven nights a week, and most of them are booked solid: Stump Trivia, live music, open mics, Rock Band karaoke, and of course, dance nights. While the crash of pins is absent from the new spot in the Brewery complex, the layout is notably improved -restaurant and lounge now comingle. It's at An Tua Nua this month (tomorrow I believe) which is a pretty college-y bar I'm sure you'll see normal bar goers start to notice. It's kind of hilarious actually, read the Yelp reviews. This week, Bella Luna unveils its fall/winter menu (dinner entrees are $7 to $19).Īt the Milky Way’s old location, in Hyde Square, the low-lit basement lounge contained the pool tables and bar, with candlepin bowling. Basically, the first Friday of every month this group picks a regular bar and turns it into a gay bar. Following the cosmos-theme, the club is hung with star-shaped lanterns, illuminating exposed brick walls and eye-popping red upholstery. “ did a violent act and that act is the direct cause of Dr Johnson leaving the clifftop in terror,” the judge said.Under the towering Haffenreffer smokestack, the doors to Bella Luna lead to a dining area, with a separate room to the right for the dance floor, an outdoor patio, and a welcoming U-shaped bar serving cocktails, wine, and beer, including Coastal Wheat, which is brewed exclusively for the Milky Way. She found that White has punched Johnson at North Head in Manly, causing the young doctor to fall to his death on the rocks below, likely on the night of 8 December. Justice Wilson spent more than an hour explaining how she arrived at the sentence of 12 years and seven months with a non-parole period of eight years and three months. “We didn’t get compensation for Scott this week but what Scott got was dignity.” “We came to Australia this week and we were given a chance to express in court what we lost and the impact that Scott White had on our families… the impact that he had on my brother… and the beautiful man he destroyed,” Johnson said. Speaking outside court after the sentencing, Scott Johnson’s brother Steve also thanked murderer Scott White for looking at family members and listening while they made their statements in court.
