Square Mugs
Description: The OK Hotel was a cafe, bar, and music venue located under the viaduct in Seattle's Pioneer Square district. Founded in 1988, the club came to an end with the Nisqually earthquake of February 28, 2001, which damaged numerous buildings in the historic district. Most widely recognized outside of Seattle as a prominent location in the movie Singles (1992), the OK Hotel was one of numerous active Seattle rock venues during the celebrated local scene of the late eighties.
Description: Inn-Square Men's Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts originally started as a men’s only bar (yes, that was a thing) back in 1964. It was as a favorite watering hole for local public works employees, who practically kept the place in business on their own. In the '70s, the bar was sold, and while it was still called the Inn-Square Men's Bar, they added a little 'ladies invited' under the name, and it soon evolved into one of the most well-loved music venues in town. The Inn-Square was a small, warm neighborhood bar with great taste in music, featuring both local and national bands that might otherwise not get to play. Despite the bar's second act being a huge success, the Inn's liquor license wasn't renewed in 1984, bringing an end to the bar.
