THE BARS OF LYNN

Night of 25 August 1986

31 Tony's

Two entrances, a Schlitz "Lantern" light out front and a horseshoe bar as well as seating at tables or at the bar invites you to have a few while you watch the Sox stomp Cleveland. But take care, it's a dimly lit joint with prehistoric pinball machines (unlit) lurking in the shadows that make it somewhat tough finding the men's room.

Photograph: an oblique view along a row of projecting signs. The nearest reads "Tony's / CHARCOAL Sandwiches / STEAKS / HAMBURGERS", with a Schlitz sign beyond and a CHARCOAL BROIL sign above.

Reading notes

  • Note: the nickname "The Broken Home" is given in the heading. This is the second Tony's, distinct from #14 TONY'S CAFE, and the nickname may be the key to telling them apart in a directory.
