North End someplace
The distinctive arches on the building on the right would make it easy to match the building if it still exists today.
I am wondering if it is North St - most of which doesn't look like it would have when this picture was taken.
Walsh & Co. liquor dealers
I'm finding references to them at both 1828 Washington Street (South End - near Roxbury border) and 7-9 North Washington Street (Haymarket). Based on the type and size of these buildings, I'd go with the latter. The building was probably torn down for the elevated Central Artery.

Doubt it
Prohibition was still in force in 1931.
Next Door to the Ladies' Cafe...

Interesting
The inability to correctly use apostrophes is not a new thing.
Actually, it is correct....
..."ladies is the plural of lady and so the apostrophe signifies the possessive "ladies' café....
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.....
What's incorrect about
What's incorrect about "Ladies' Cafe"?
Nothing at all
I could have sworn it said "Ladie's".
"This is for ladies only!"
"This is for ladies only!"
"This is too, ma'am but every now and then I have to run a little water through it."
The cut-away at the end...
...is the best.
cigars, beer, ladies, shoes and rubbers

Where is or was this street?
It doesn't exist today. Does it now have another name, or was it plowed under for the elevated Central Artery?
North Washington Street
Now known as North Washington Street.

Pussy Cafe?
Isn't there one opening on Chestnut Hill Ave.?

The Answer!
Thanks for playing, folks! This is indeed Haymarket. We don't have an exact date for this photo, but we've placed it circa 1890-1910. Depending on the date this would have been either Charlestown Street or North Washington Street
