Waxy's Irish Pub Coming to Somerville

The chain of pubs has locations in Brookline, Foxboro, Kingston, Lexington and Woburn, and it looks like Somerville is next.

SOMERVILLE, MA – A chain of Irish pubs with five Massachusetts locations is poised to open a sixth in Somerville. The city appeared under the "Locations" tab on Waxy O'Connor's website, with the ambiguous descriptor "Coming 2017."

When and where exactly it will open remains a mystery, though a tipster told Boston Restaurant Talk the pub will be located at the Partners HealthCare building at Assembly Row. The burgeoning development will also house Mike's Pastry Shop and a possible Lucky Strike location, according to Boston Restaurant Talk.

Waxy's has pubs in Brookline, Foxboro, Kingston, Lexington and Woburn, as well as Texas, Florida, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
