To fill in the gap: one of the upstairs tenants set off the sprinklers causing big damage.

General background: Great punk venue. There's been a bar in that spot at least going back to my dad's generation, although it's changed hands a bunch.

YouTube Thirsty First Lowell, tons of good clips are up there from shows recorded here.

Hotpot, formerly Garcia Brogans is just sitting vacant, isn’t it?

Or did Hotpot not open yet? It was there so briefly

Hotspot! Lol. Not hotpot

Cool and nice to hear about more renewal in the area.

Hope they get up and running again soon, one of the best - if not the best - vibes of any bar around here.

Buy the safe it’s collecting dust. It was for sale not sure if it still is.

Totally different style of dive. Can't have a Thirsty First without a patio. Credit given where due though, it does meet the pole-blocking-the-stage criteria.

Patio is a tall order. Who else has one?

Whatever hookslides is now has the alleyway. Once whatever is there inevitably fails they can slide in and maybe name recognition can break that curse.
