Arlington 'Gastro Gaming Pub' Closing, Cites Pandemic Struggles

ARLINGTON, MA — A "gastro gaming pub" in Arlington is closing at the end of the month. Adventure Pub will shut down July 31 after struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.

"No one can plan for a pandemic and the inability to gather safely with our community has caused irreparable damage to businesses like ours that depend on gathering," a post on Adventure Pub's Facebook page reads. "Unfortunately, this Adventure ends here. Over these next few weeks we invite you to come and say goodbye to our home. She deserves the biggest party we can muster. Let us celebrate all the wonderful times we have had and share the memories of a truly special place. Our staff would love to hear from you, our fellow Adventurers, about any special moments or things you enjoyed most about coming to visit with us. This is incredibly heartbreaking for all of us, so we’d like to have the light shine brightest before we go."

The pub opened in January 2019 in the one-time home of Flora on Mass. Ave. In addition to food and drink, the space offered tabletop games and rooms for rent for immersive gaming experiences.

Adventure Pub is located at 190 Mass. Ave.
