The Burren opened in 1996, according to its web page. I think of that as the triggering event that turned Elm Street into what it is today. Before then, there wasn't much reason to walk east of Dover Street in the evening, except to go to Redbones.

back in the mid-1980's, there was briefly a lesbian bar (with occasional singing/band performances) in what is now the downstairs of redbones, back when the upstairs was a townie bar whose name i've forgotten.

the upstairs bar was called Barnaby's; the name is painted over but still barely visible on Redbones' sign. I didn't know about the lesbian bar; it's before my time here.
