Its cocktail lounge, The Barn, leaned into a rustic, barnyard-themed identity — reflected in both this rooster design and a companion steer-head swizzle stick issued for the same lounge — offering a relaxed, countrified contrast to typical downtown hotel bars. The property has changed hands and names several times since, operating later as a Holiday Inn and today as the boutique Arcadian Hotel, but pieces like this one preserve a specific, colorful chapter of its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more Boston-area hotel and lounge swizzle sticks in our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antigo Trunk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43242165633233,"sku":"B1061","price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/1733\/8577\/files\/IMG_8297_1777a471-602b-4cae-b67e-e5ffbd3a00dd.jpg?v=1786454929","url":"https:\/\/www.antigotrunk.com\/en-ca\/products\/swizzle-stick-drink-stirrer-the-barn-1200-beacon-street-hotel-brookline-white-rooster-vintage-1950s","provider":"Antigo Trunk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
