...if it wasn't for that pesky celiac. I used to enjoy going there a decade ago, before I knew what my symptoms were from! JP used to have a lot of cozy pub-type places like this. It seems too expensive, now..

My wife and I had our first date there!

We had gotten out of the habit of going there, but have been back a couple times in 2022 and really loved the food and the vibe. Damn!

Though we've only been back once since the 10 year old was born.

Not bad for an $80,000 plus whatever, if there was anything owed on the old mortgage, on its purchase in 1996.

I'll take that heavy heart any day.

That's too bad. Years ago a group of us would go weekly and enjoyed everything from the food to the staff.

When they remodeled I felt it changed...the food and atmosphere wasn't the same (IMHO).

I am sure the liquor license will go to the Seaport.

My assumption is the owner is selling the building - can anyone confirm?

As others say the building went for $2.2 million.

I think it is still on the market. I live in this neighborhood and it is damn hard to keep decent places open along that strip. Still a check cashing place, a liquor store, a driving school, a dojo, three bars (of which two are closed, and now third closing) Even Bukhara started to suck when it moved to this location.

I get how this is a bad place to put a business.

Just wondering if bldup has incorrect information.

The food was best when Mike, the apiarist, was chef.

I hope the liquor license stays and something that's both good and interesting moves into the location, especially if Brassica is move into the old Doyle's spot.
