Pub 49 Is Opening in the Former Osborn Tavern Space in Danvers

A troubled North Shore bar that shut down earlier this year will be replaced by a new dining and drinking spot that would be run by the owner of another North Shore bar that had its share of problems as well.

According to an article from Wicked Local, Pub 49 is looking to open in Danvers, moving into the space on Maple Street that had been home to Osborn Tavern. As reported here earlier, Osborn Tavern had faced several different liquor-related incidents over the past couple of years before shuttering over the winter, while Wicked Local mentions that the owner of the proposed Pub 49 had been behind Sully C's in Saugus--and that owner had also faced a couple of liquor violations as well while also getting into litigation issues with both the building owner and the town after a 2015 fire damaged the building in which Sully C's was housed

The Danvers Board of Selectmen did approve of the license transfer from Osborne Tavern to Pub 49, though not without reservations from Danvers Selectman Gardener Trask, who said, "I'll be frank. I'm familiar with Sully C's....I'm concerned about the reputation of Sully C's and the owner."

[April 6, 2021 update: Wicked Local states that Pub 49 is now open.]
