Allston barber shop offered more than just a trim and a shave

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports a police crackdown on a Cambridge Street barber shop that not only was open at 12:45 a.m., it was offering a full-service bar, pool, poker and, yes, massage services.

Also, the 7-Eleven on Washington Street in Brighton was cited for not selling beer and wine. Yes, that's right, they got a ticket for not selling alcohol when they have a license to sell alcohol.

That's who I thought it was

A barbershop with billiards, poker, and beers? That's a great idea, which is precisely why Boston has a problem with it.

Seriously, this city is running out of redeeming qualities.

Beer, pool, massages...

"These are a few of my fa-vo-rite things..."

This isn't 'nam, Will

There are rules.

Yes

And they blow.

Sounds like "barber shop" is the new speak-easy.

Good idea, but fire laws are important too

I'd like to see it reopen, but not with locked emergency exits. We don't need another Station fire.
