It looks like a longtime liquor store in one of the busiest parts of Boston has been sold.
According to a source, Bauer Wine & Spirits in the Back Bay was recently sold to an as-of-yet unknown buyer, with a screenshot sent to us confirming this. The Newbury Street shop has actually been up for sale for awhile now, with a post from J Barrett & Company indicating that it first went on the market last October, having an asking price at the time of $1.7 million. It is not yet known what changes might be coming to the liquor store, nor is it known whether its name will remain, so keep checking back for updates.
Bauer Wine & Spirits has been in business for more than 50 years, with the shop offering a variety of beer, wine, and spirits, including both high-end and lower-priced options.
The address for Bauer Wine & Spirits is 330 Newbury Street, Boston, MA, 02115. Its website can be found at https://www.bauerwines.com/

Liquor Stores, Breweries Allowed to Remain Open in Massachusetts
Yesterday we reported that Governor Charlie Baker is ordering all non-essential businesses to shut down at noon today in response to the Coronavirus crisis. We have now learned however, that not only are liquor stores allowed to stay open, but breweries are also able to remain in operation as well.
As mentioned in an earlier article, liquor stores are considered an essential business in the state and are given the option to remain open, and based on a few sources--and checks on social media pages--breweries are also apparently considered essential businesses and can continue to sell beer via takeout, curbside pickup, and/or delivery. Because this continues to be a fluid situation, it is best to check the websites and social media pages of both the liquor stores and the breweries to find out their exact status, as it is very likely that not all of them remain open.

Hen House, Liquor Land Reopen After Ceiling Collapse
A couple of Boston businesses are open once again after they had to close temporarily due to a ceiling collapse earlier this month.
A recent check on the building indicates that Hen House and Liquor Land on the Roxbury/Dorchester line near Newmarket Square have reopened after their building was taped off when some of the structure's cement apparently broke off and caved in the ceiling. The Mass. Ave. building went through a structural evaluation shortly after the April 6 ceiling collapse, which injured two people.
The Hen House and Liquor Land are both located at 1033 Massachusetts Avenue.

Owners of Now-Closed Bradley Liquors in Boston's Fenway to Open Upscale Liquor Store by Audubon Circle
The people behind a liquor store in Boston's Fenway that is no longer in operation are hoping to open a new store in the city's Audubon Circle area--and this one would be focusing on specialty items.
According to a post on the Beth Treffeisen Photography site, the owners of the now-shuttered Bradley Liquors on Boylston Street are planning to open an upscale liquor store on Beacon Street in the former Superb Bicycle Shop space, with the proposed shop having the same retro look that the bike shop had while apparently selling higher-end versions of beer, wine, bourbon, and more. If all goes well, the new store--which may end up being called Shippy's--could be opening in April.
The article says that Bradley Liquors closed down because of a lack of foot traffic and rising rents.
The address for this upcoming liquor store is 842 Beacon Street, Boston, MA, 02215.

Martignetti Liquors in Brighton Is Closing
A name in the retail liquor business that has been around for more than 80 years is going away, as it shifts its focus over to wholesale.
According to a Facebook post from food/drinks writer MC Slim JB, Martignetti Liquors in Brighton is shutting down, with a tweet from @ANBunnell indicating that its last day in operation will be Saturday, March 18. The picture within the tweet shows that the closing of the Soldiers Field Road liquor store represents the completion of a transition from retail to wholesale, with Martignetti now focusing on being a wholesale distribution company that covers the New England region.
Martignetti Liquors got its start in Boston's North End in 1933, with the Brighton store opening in 1963. Other retail locations of Martignetti have closed over the years, including ones in the North End and Chelsea. (Martignetti's wholesale business is headquartered in Taunton.)
The address for this soon-to-close liquor store in Brighton is: Martignetti Liquors, 1650 Soldiers Field Road, Brighton, MA, 02135.

Gordon's Fine Wines and Liquors Is Taking Over the Wine Cellar Space in Boston's Downtown Crossing
It looks like a popular group of liquor stores located in the suburbs of Boston will be bringing a new one to the heart of the city.
According to a legal notice sent to us by a source, Gordon's Fine Wines and Liquors is looking to open in Downtown Crossing, taking over the site on Temple Place where the Wine Cellar is located. Little else is currently known about the proposed transfer of businesses other than the fact that the new shop is looking to be open until 11:00 PM.
Gordon's Fine Wines and Liquors, which says on its Twitter page that it is "the leading purveyor of fine wines, spirits and beer in our New England stores and online," has locations in Waltham, Watertown, and Newtonville.
The address for the Wine Cellar (and the new location of Gordon's) is 39 Temple Place, Boston, MA, 02111.
Thanks to @DGoodison for initially bringing this to our attention.
[October 26 update: Eater Boston states that Gordon's has gotten the green light to open in Downtown Crossing, and that it will include "a mini version" of Moody's in Waltham within the store, with the deli counter offering such items as cheeses, charcuterie, pre-made sandwiches to go, and, eventually, sandwiches that are made to order along with sliced meats, with products being under the New England Charcuterie label. If all goes as planned, expect the new location of Gordon's (and Moody's) to open sometime in the early winter.]
[December 30 update: A new article from Eater Boston notes that Gordon's (and the Moody's deli counter) has softly opened in the former Wine Cellar space.]

Rubi's Hot Dogs Is Opening within Huntington Wine and Spirits in Boston
A gourmet hot dog stand is on its way to Boston, and it will be located in a rather unusual spot.
Eater Boston is reporting that Rubi's Hot Dogs will open within Huntington Wine & Spirits, a nearly 40-year-old liquor store that is near Northeastern University and Symphony Hall. The article says that the hot dog stand, which will be operated by store owner Steven Rubin's son, Sam, and will be a separate business from the store, will be set up by the front entrance, and that it could eventually feature popcorn and pretzels as well at some point. If all goes as planned, the rollers at Rubi's Hot Dogs could be operational in two weeks or so.
[September 21 update: A message from the place indicates that Rubi's Hot Dogs is now open.]
The address for Huntington Wine & Spirits (and the new Rubi's Hot Dogs) is 301 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA, 02115. The Twitter page for the liquor store can be found at https://twitter.com/hwsboston while the Twitter page for the hot dog stand is at https://twitter.com/rubishotdogs
