The Channel

Harry Booras opened The Channel in South Boston on Memorial Day weekend 1980, as a live music club. Little did he know at the time that The Channel would become one of Boston's most iconic, too-unbelievable-to-be-true venues where patrons danced and moshed to world-famous bands from the U.K. and elsewhere. Managers with connections to the mob made it even more interesting. Why the story of the Channel hasn't been made into a major motion picture by now we cannot understand! It was Southie in all it's glory back then!
