The Paddock Pub in Walpole Center Closes

A bare-bones Irish pub in Walpole that served decent food and was mostly a hangout for neighborhood locals has closed its doors. The Paddock Pub, which was a plain-looking but comfortable watering hole on Route 1A in the center of town, is no longer in business.

The Paddock featured mostly pub grub food, including bar pizza, burgers, steak and cheese rollups, and a few Italian entrees. The bar was mostly a place to grab a pint or two while watching TV or playing darts, though some of the food was actually quite good (the handcut onions rings were particularly impressive).

No word on what might go into the Paddock's space, or if they might try to reopen. Stay tuned as we gather more information on the place...
