Boston Police report a fight that broke out around 2 a.m. at Ups and Downs, 469 Neponset Ave., sent one person to Boston Medical Center and six more to Carney Hospital with stab wounds.
The most seriously injured was a bouncer, in his 40s, who was trying to break up the brawl that led to the other six stabbings, police say. He's in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. None of the other injuries are considered life threatening, police say.
The bar, known formally as Upstairs, Downstairs, has had issues with violence in the past. Police issued a citation for today's incident, which means a hearing before the Boston Licensing Board and possible penalties from a reduction in hours to revocation of its liquor license.

Wow
Pretty violent out there last night, huh.
It has been that way since it
It has been that way since it was the Pony Room, possibly even before.
The Room of Doom
We always called the Pony Room, "The Room of Doom". I loved when they rented the kitchen to a Chinese restaurant. One stop shopping at 2:30 AM.
One stop shopping on Sundays too
Back in the day. Case of beer out the back door for 20 bucks. Never heard the Room of Doom. Love it.
Neponset Circle, NH
Yes, out the back door on a Sunday. The shortest ride to NH ever. Those were the days. I feel old.
I stopped in there a few
I stopped in there a few years ago with my girlfriend at the time, heading back into the city from Marina Bay, we decided to stop in there for a night cap,rather than trying to catch last call back in town, what a mistake that was. Coke in the bathrooms, brawl inside the bar, this place made the bar in Star Wars look nice . My girlfriend was so disgusted with me for taking her there, she broke up with me the next morning. Stay clear of the Pony Room!
ahh, the pony room. yes $20
ahh, the pony room. yes $20 cases when everything else was closed...those were the days
