On Thursday, Aug. 17, The Boston Licensing Board today approved the sale of the Pour House's liquor license to Dani's Queer Bar, 909 Boylston St. in Boston's Back Bay.

Manager Thais Rocha hopes to open a full-service restaurant and bar aimed at "LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people" later this summer or early this fall, in the old Pour House location, using the license being acquired from landlord Charles Talanian.

The Pour House closed, like its neighboring bars, in the early months of the pandemic in 2020.
