UPDATED, obviously.
Boston Eater reports a Facebook events page claiming the Bus Stop Pub is closing soon was a hoax and has been deleted and the place isn't going anywhere (unlike the Lincoln Bar and Grill).

East of Everett St?
Allston. Allston Allston Allston. No Brighton necessary.
AllBright Baby!
Allston & Brighton are the same town. 1 Police department 1 people. Just ask anyone that grew up there. We are the world baby!
Not quite
Different zip codes, so different post offices.
Why Brighton is necessary in this context
Because of the Lincoln, which is in Brighton, but not really all that far away from Western Avenue, and it seemed worth noting the closure of both places, especially since they're both "victims" (those liquor licenses won't go cheap) of the same basic development pressures along Guest Street.
Kind of surprised
Haven't been here in years, but figured Bus Stop & Silhouette would hang on for a while since they're really the only authentic Boston bars left in the neighborhood(s). Bummer nonetheless.
Think I was only there once
They had a video game where, instead of shooting aliens, you were a bartender sliding beers to customers. Ahh the good old days.
fake news?

i guess it's not closing and this was a late april fools day joke?
Thanks
And my apologies for the original post, which I've tossed and replaced with a correction.
