About This Photo Booth

This booth features a B&W, known for producing high-quality analog photo strips using traditional photochemical film processing.

This recent addition to the Boston bar scene was pretty quiet the night we stopped by, but looked like it could get pretty busy, with live music and DJs every night. We played a few rounds of Galaga and Pole Position with a remote control joystick and a TV over the bar. The photobooth is located in the front window, just to the left of the door, and produces nice looking black and white photos, with a little bit of brown staining the night we used it. The booth, a Photo-Me 21T, is $3, and seems to have every one of the bar's permits and licenses slipped into the front display. **UPDATE** 11/19/08: According to Jille, The Reel Bar is now a bar called Deep Ellum, and the photobooth is no longer located there.
