Readville watering hole shutting down
By adamg on Tue, 06/26/2018 - 10:21pm
Cappy's Tavern in Wolcott Square has its last last call on July 24 - after 80 years in business - as owner Ray Capobianco retires, Scott Leary and Jim Lafond-Lewis report.
With the demise of the Cottage Tavern last fall, that leaves Hyde Park with just the Cavan Cafe on Hyde Park Avenue and Master McGrath on River Street for your old-man/hole-in-the-wall bar needs.

A whole hour?
Is MC Slim JB still preparing his eulogy for this place?
Sad Days
Sad to hear. Spent many nights in that place. Not many options for a real town bar these days. Here's to the new corporate Boston. Maybe Mark Whalburg will open a Strega Stip Tease there.
But why did they call it "Cappy's"?
Did anyone ever explain this?
Something to do with a Satellite dish failure or the
family name of the owner. Not sure which one to go with....
The owner originally wanted to call
the bar "Saltalamacchia's", but it wouldn't fit on the sign.
It was named Cappys after
It was named Cappys after there last name Capabianco.
Enjoy the dive bars we have....
...because nobody is opening new ones with property values so high.
