Noisy end to Quiet Man Pub

End of the Quiet Man

Kathryn Kinzel photographed the demolition of the Quiet Man Pub in South Boston today, several years after the place closed.

Quiet Man

My friend Jim O'Halloran's favorite place. I hope he didn't have to see this.

They had great steak tips!

Luxury condos

It's always a good idea to build housing over rat infested T stations. (check out the Menino sign on the building).

Actually, apartments

50 rental apartments (six "affordable") are going in the six-story building, according to the Globe. Starbucks and Subway are among the tenants reportedly signed up for ground-floor retail. I will admit, as a resident (six years) on the west side, I am looking forward to the opening of Foodies at C St., which has been delayed until at least the spring.

AWESOME!

This is fantastic news for South Boston! Cleared out abandoned buildings and building luxury condos with a Starbucks.

This is a yuppies dream. With all the high end places near the T we will soon have high end restaurants (I know Franklin Cafe is already there but we need more!).

This is great for my neighborhood! I am going to go to Starbucks every morning. I don't even like their coffee!

Gentrification is a good thing!

Bummed this bar is gone

I went to the Quiet Man every year during the Southie Parade and there was always a big group of us who would sing and dance and I would paint faces in the corner. South Boston is losing it's old Irish Charm and I hate that all the yuppies are moving in, it's so disappointing. I will miss this bar and all of the wonderful Irish people I met here.
