BOSTON, MA — It was last call for Allston's Common Ground Bar & Grill Sunday night. The Harvard Avenue establishment announced on its Facebook page that it was shutting its doors for good when the taps were turned off for the night.

The closing comes less than 10 months after the front of the building collapsed to the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon. Two people were injured — including one critically — when chunks of cement from the building at 75-85 Harvard Ave. gave way in November.

Common Ground Bar & Grill also has an Arlington location at 319 Broadway that remains open.
