*The Legend Behind the Design:*
The Inn-Square Men's Bar was a crucial piece of Cambridge's counterculture scene until rising rents and changing demographics led to its eventual closure. It was famous for its eclectic mix of patrons, from local factory workers to renowned folk musicians, all drawn by its unpretentious atmosphere and authentic character. The bar represented a time when Inman Square was a working-class neighborhood with a thriving arts scene, before gentrification transformed the area.
