Up from the dead? Jacob Wirth could re-open after all, with a new owner and an old Newbury Street bar's liquor license

Aww, too bad you didn't get there. It was one of the nicest, classiest establishments in Boston. Wonderful food, great ambiance, killer service....a true gem from good ole days gone by.

The plan remains for the Doyles space to reopen after a bunch of condos gets dropped on top of it. It's supposed to be run by the folks behind Brassica, which bodes well for the quality of the food.

My hope is that they pull this off and lean in a little more towards traditional bar/pub food, as Brassica is great, but too pricey for most of us to eat there even somewhat regularly.

Might be worth a day working in the office in town!

And Daisy Buch's.... what a throwback to Deloitte Consulting gatherings "in cash only"....
Peace/out

At least that's what we called it. Never hung out there much, but I remember it being popular with players visiting Fenway and the local women who were attracted to them.

Only went five or six times. However, the upside was watching John Daly fall to the floor one night after he had been, shockingly, drinking a lot.

Also, getting to thank the great Tim Nahering for having the Sox help out St. Mark's School in Dorchester with some visits and a little cash.

Give Pukes credit, it was one last little piece of Boston on Newbury and not a place for Japanese kids to buy the same boots they could get on the Ginza.

That’s good news! I hope it works out. With the beautiful old interior restored and a good chef and staff, it could.

Loved the old wooden ice box behind the bar. Save the old dives in Boston and neighborhoods from extinction!

They still have the daisy bucks license on ice? Didn't they close like 7 years ago?

I remember Jacob Wirth's as being the closest I ever came to drinking in an Old West saloon minus the swinging doors. Great ambiance.
