West on Main Is Opening in the Former Fit-Z's Bar & Grille Space in Watertown

Last fall it was reported that a neighborhood bar in Watertown was closing down after nearly 20 years in operation, and now we know what is replacing it.

According to a Bluesky post from @tommyvon.bsky.social, a sign is now up for West on Main, which will be taking over the space a short distance west of the downtown area that had been home to Fit-Z's Bar & Grille. A note from the upcoming spot on Google says the following:

West on Main blends the best of an Irish and American bar, creating a welcoming neighborhood spot in Watertown, MA. Serving comfort food, rotating specials, and a traditional Sunday roast, it's the go-to place for great food, drinks, and live sports.

Fit-Z's debuted in 2007, moving into the space that had once been home to The Busy Bee.

The address for West on Main is 451 Main St, Watertown, MA 02472. Its Instagram page can be found at https://www.instagram.com/westonmainwatertown/

[May 27 update: According to its Instagram page, West on Main is now open in Watertown.]
