Mary Ann's in Brighton's Cleveland Circle May Have Hours Reduced

A dive bar that is popular with college students might be having its hours cut after a string of incidents and violations.

Universal Hub is reporting that Mary Ann's in the Cleveland Circle section of Brighton will be meeting with the Boston Licensing Board at the nearby Metropolitan Waterworks Museum next Monday, with the hearing focusing on the possibility of reducing the bar's hours from its current closing time of 2:00 AM. This comes on the heels of a recent eight-day suspension that stems from underage drinking at the bar, along with several other suspensions over the past year and a half from the use of fake ids and minors being in possession of alcohol.

The attorney for Mary Ann's tells the board that the place would immediately stop accepting out-of-state licenses, instead requiring a Massachusetts ID, military ID, or passport, according to UH.

Mary Ann's is known mainly as a hangout for BC students--and most of the incidents have involved students from that college.

The address for Mary Ann's is 1937 Beacon Street, Brighton, MA, 02135.
