The Milky Way Lounge & Lanes in Jamaica Plain has been a community gathering place for nine years, bringing together Bostonians of every kind to enjoy delicious affordable food, high quality cocktails, cutting edge live entertainment, dance music, and of course, candlepin bowling. The mission of this unique venue is not only to be a one-stop destination for casual fun, but also to strengthen the Jamaica Plain community as a whole by providing stable jobs for over fifty employees, drawing people to Hyde Square, magnifying resources for community groups by hosting fundraisers and events, and donating 1% of sales to local non-profit organizations. Co-owners Pierre Apollon, Katherine Mainzer, Charlie Rose and Carol Downs have successfully re-invested the resources generated by The Milky Way back into the community they love.

The Milky Way now invites its many fans and loyal customers to help The Milky Way raise funds to pay for the installation of sprinklers by attending our Sprinkler Fundraiser!Although the Milky Way is a tenant and does not own its space, it had to install sprinklers in order to remain open as a restaurant with entertainment, a $70,000 project that is near completion.

Proceeds from this show will help offset this cost and keep The Milky Way thriving in 2008.

Advance tickets valid for line bypass until 11:00 PM
