1. Never, ever, ever give up the signage rights, because you will never get them back.

2. This never gets old; The 86 Celtics in all their glory at the S&S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KulWdpT5vsw

This could be the greatest collection of talent (*Greg Kite is in it) ever assembled in a local tv ad.

They served me a White Russian made with Kahlua and coffee whitener. Gross!

I want to like Frank's.. I really do. But every time I try to eat there (I'm on try #4).. the service is just so bad. I end up walking out because we can't even be seated or 30 mins for a drink order is ridiculous on a Thursday night)

Sure I tend to eat later (> 8pm), but if your hours are until 9, you serve until 9. Not start to clean up and ignore customers.

After more than 18 years, the North End's Scotch 'n Sirloin restaurant has closed its doors, squeezed by the economic crunch that has snuffed out so many local businesses in recent months.

A popular lounge and nightspot, Scotch 'n Sirloin for years attracted big evening crowds emerging from the nearby Boston Garden after Celtics and Bruins games. Owner and founder Harry Johnson said he depended on this booming clientele to make up for slow times during the summer.

But these days, Johnson said yesterday, "the business just wasn't there."

Johnson officially closed the restaurant Saturday night, when he told some 40 employees that the evening's last round would be permanent. …

I am curious if it would make it today.. considering that neighborhood has changed so much and now has alot of residential very close by.

Sure this place sounded like chain-like.. but the owner could have stepped it up a few notches to stay with the times now.

We gotta keep up with what the hip kids like so from now on we're going to be "Bourbon and Hangar Steak!"

I kid but I get your point, they were there in an era where it was mostly feast or famine depending on how the teams at the garden were doing but it's much more of a seven day a week area now.

Wow, "economic crunch". Ever heard of that? Nowadays, we're worried about Amazon actually setting up shop here.

Lots of fond (yet dim, lol) memories of the S&S.

Not to be confused with the Up & Up in the Hojo's in Kenmore Square.

Damn, that was fun...

I forget if it was Scotch and Sirloin or the Chart House on Long Wharf but pretty sure Larry Bird punched someone! Those were the days.

I heard tell of a water leak to the lower floors by previous bosses. Apparently quite a mess!
