Once service wraps, this Dorchester restaurant transforms its dining room into a dance floor for LGBTQ-oriented weekly nightlife events—like singalong Show Tunes Tuesdays and massive Magnum Saturdays dance parties—plus themed soirees that draw thick crowds of costumed revelers, including neon face-painted throngs for a recent UV Party. And with Nick Daddona (a past winner of Boston’s Best sommelier) recently appointed to oversee the beverage program, we know top-shelf tipples will soon make dinnertime drinks an equal draw.
