Where to Celebrate Pride Month 2024 in Boston
"This upscale cocktail lounge opened last fall on Tremont Street, where the Eagle, a gay dive bar staple in nearly every major city, used to be located. The owners are aware of the history: “kartal” is Turkish for “eagle,” and the mosaic entrance depicts a two-headed eagle with the dates 1981 and 2021, commemorating the Eagle’s 40 years in the South End. On Saturday, June 8, the Kartal will open early for Pride festivities starting at 11 a.m." - Alex Reimer, Erika Adams
