According to a reliable source, Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston was shuttered today, with no one answering the phones there. A call placed to the Seaport District location confirmed that the Boylston Street restaurant is closed "permanently," though the Seaport outlet remains open--and it appears that the Logan Airport and Fall River outlets are still in operation as well. The source mentions that the Fenway location is apparently in bankruptcy, and the landlord (the Boston Red Sox) is not going to be renewing the lease because of the tenant being in arrears.
