Reporting notes that Greater Boston has lost several small-scale music venues in recent years, including Great Scott and Atwood's Tavern. Heslop expressed concern that independent restaurants may be squeezed out of the real estate market as nightclubs have been.
“We were extremely fortunate to have both [of our music venues] paired with restaurants. As long as the restaurants were turning tables, the electric bills and insurance payments got covered regardless of the numbers the performance spaces drew.”
