Union Square Eatery To Close In June

SOMERVILLE, MA – A pioneer of greater Boston's "dinner as theater" scene will close its doors in early June, according to Boston Magazine. Journeyman, which opened in Union Square seven years ago, will close at the end of service June 3.

According to a newsletter obtained by Boston Magazine, the team behind Journeyman commented on changes to the dining industry and the shifting demographics in Somerville, the United States and around the world.

"It was against this backdrop that we opened Journeyman, and we look out on a very different world today as we announce its closing," they wrote.

The husband-and-wife team behind Journeyman also helped open the adjacent Backbar, which will remain in business. A new restaurant is already slated to take over the space.

After the June 3 official closing, there will be a "final farewell event."
