Boston Rathskeller Restaurant Menu “The Rat” 1940s w- Luncheon Menu insert for August 9th
$274.00 – $284.00Price range: $274.00 through $284.00
Vintage menu from the famous Rathskeller of Boston’s Kenmore Square (which was torn down 1997). Includes a Luncheon insert for the date of August 9th (year not specified, but I am surmising that this is from the 1940s as the box of ephemera from which it came had all items that dated to the Forties).
The Rathskeller (aka The Rat) became a live music venue in 1974 and ran until 1997. For those three decades, The Rat was considered one of Boston’s premier music venues featuring rock, soul, punk, jazz and pop artists, including:
Aerosmith
Anry Samoans
B-52s
Bad Brains
Blondie
The Cars
Dead Kennedys
English Beat
Hole
The Jam
Joan Jett
Metallica
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Patti Smith
The Pixies
The Police
The Ramones
R.E.M.
Talking Heads
Thin Lizzy
Tom Petty
U2
Cool time capsule, rare find!
