BOSTON, MA — A beloved, longtime Boston pub and restaurant is expected to close its doors for good.
Clarke's, which has been open on the corner of Merchants Row and Chatham Street since 1975, announced it will close this week. The Faneuil Hall landmark shared the news in a social media post on Saturday.
"There is a time for everything in life. Every journey has a beginning and an end, and what matters most are the memories we made along the way," the business wrote in the statement. "As we enter the final week at Clarkes, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to the many people who have been part of this journey. It is difficult to know where to begin."
The business thanked its neighbors, community members, employees and Boston police and fire departments.
"And finally, to all of our friends and patrons over the years, there are simply too many of you to mention. Thank you for the laughter, the good times, and the relationships we have been so fortunate to build. We are proud to know you, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts," the business's owners wrote.
Clarke's team told the Boston Globe that Saturday, Apr. 25, will be the bar and restaurant's last day in business.
