COVER STORY Club Boston Jamaica Plain BRENDAN BEHAN PUB 378 Centre St. Boston. 617-522-5386. (Get directions). Food Free buffet Fri. 4:30-7 p.m. Music Sunday: rockabilly. Mon.: reggae DJ. Tue.: rock or reggae. Wed.: rock. Sat. (on occasion): Irish sessiun. Cover No Age 21+ Atmosphere Casual and dark, dark, dark - literally. An interesting (and perhaps related) fact: Although the place doesn't exude grit, the benches are pretty darn sticky. Wearers of shorts, beware. - A.F. MIDWAY CAFE 3496 Washington St., Boston. 617-524-9038. (Get directions). Food Despite the name, no edibles, except free popcorn. Music Bands nightly, except Mon. and Thur. Styles range from blues to country to punk. Mon.: "Joe Schmoe's place" (darts, pool); Thur.: "Dyke Nyte" with DJ. Cover Usually $3-$5 Age 21+ Atmosphere: Even with a blazing new sheen of varnish on the floorboards, the Midway is not a polished place. The other M-way in JP (the Milky Way) gets all the press, but don't neglect this dear little dive that's devoted itself to (primarily) local bands for more than a decade. - A.F. MILKY WAY LOUNGE 403 Centre St., Boston. 617-524-3740. Music Wed.: "Solaris," ambient and techno with DJ Brother Cleve and Mark Flynn. Live bands other nights. Cover Varies. Age Wed. 18+; otherwise 21+ Atmosphere Hands-down, Boston's hippest bowling alley. Located below Bella Luna restaurant, the Milky Way runs from retro kitsch to modern club cool. The plush sofas offer a view of the pool tables, and the deep purple walls are softly lit by space-age fixtures. The music is as varied as the decor: one night, a DJ is spinning French disco, the next a salsa band is whooping it up on the small stage. A cross-section of Jamaica Plain residents, from lesbians to Latinos, regularly belly up to the bar. - C.M. Previous page | Next page
