The all-new Boiler Room announces itself on 2nd Avenue

The window lettering is up now for The Boiler Room at its new home, 45 Second Ave. between Third Street and Second Street. (Thanks to Garth for the photo!) 

According to The Boiler Room's website, they hope to be open for Pride Weekend. 

After nearly 30 years in operation, the no-frills LGBTQ+ bar closed this past April at 86 E. Fourth St. near Second Avenue.

Management said the building's landlord at No. 86 had them in a two-plus-year court battle over pandemic-related back rent payments. 

As for the new address, the space will include the well-worn bar from Fourth Street.
