The Sun Has Set On This Grill & Tap

From Dave Brigham:

No more palm trees and sailboats....sounds like the beginning of a Weezer song. Anyway, for those who pay attention to such things (which evidently doesn't include me), the much-beloved Sunset Grill & Tap closed down. In December 2017.

The restaurant's parent company, Sunset Partners, Inc., filed for bankruptcy in June 2017, reporting $5.67 million in debt and assets of $1.06 million, according to a report in the Boston Herald. Sunset Grill opened in 1988, and in the early- to mid-'90s I spent many a night there eating Mexican food and drinking from their expansive beer menu. It was a good place to go before seeing bands at local rock clubs, or just for the sake of meeting friends and hanging out.

I haven't been able to find out who painted this great mural, and what may become of it. No idea what might go into this space.

Sunset Partners' Patron's pool hall, which was located above the grill and tap, also closed.

The company's Sunset Cantina is still open.
