Eater Boston is reporting that Callan Hospitality Corp., which is led by Patrick Grace of the now-shuttered Littlest Bar on Broad Street in Boston's Financial District is heading up On the Hill Tavern, a Magoun Square sports bar owned by Bob Antonelli, who is "approaching retirement age" and made the decision to sell the Broadway watering hole. The article says that On the Hill will keep its name and concept, with this basically being just an ownership change.
Patrick Grace ran The Littlest Bar until it was forced to close in September of 2015 to make room for new development; this was the second time that the drinking spot had to close, as it had to leave its original home on Province Street in 2006 to make room for condos, moving to its Broad Street home next to The Times bar, which also had to shut down last September. (The people behind The Times are now running Broadside in the former Barney Fanning's space on Broad Street.)
On the Hill Tavern is a neighborhood watering hole that features pub grub, beer, trivia nights, djs, and karaoke. Its address is 499 Broadway, Somerville, MA, 02145, while its website can be found at http://www.onthehilltavern.com/
