Boston, Massachusetts
Gay-owned Dorchester gastropub and nightlife spot.
Blend is a gay-owned gastropub and nightlife spot on Dorchester Avenue, in the Glover's Corner space that spent more than fifty years as the neighborhood pub Peggy O'Neil's before James Clements, who grew up in the family bar, drove its reinvention as Blend in 2018. It pairs a New American comfort-food kitchen, the kind of place that does a boozy French toast at brunch, with a bar that turns into a dance floor on weekends, hosting DJs, themed parties, and RuPaul viewing nights. The signature is the drag and disco brunch, a fixture here on alternating Sundays that has helped make Blend the anchor of queer social life in Dorchester. It's a genuine neighborhood spot rather than a downtown scene bar, and that's the appeal: a welcoming, all-are-welcome room well outside the usual South End orbit, worth the trip down Dot Ave for anyone who wants their night out to feel local.
