The Fours Closing After 44 Years In Boston

BOSTON — The Fours Boston is closing for good after 44 years as a top sports bar destination in the shadow of TD Garden.

While management did not say why it was shuttering the Canal Street staple, the announcement comes as iconic bars and restaurants close across the city amid the COVID-19 pandemic. McGreevey's on Boylston Street and Cheers at Faneuil Hall both said they are closing this month.

The Fours locations in Norwell and Quincy will remain in business. The Boston location is closing immediately.

"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the permanent closure of The Fours Boston as of Monday, August 31st," the management team said in a statement.

"We extend our sincerest thanks to all of you, our loyal customers, who have supported us for so many years. You have made The Fours such a treasured place and we are forever grateful for the wonderful memories we have made together.

"To the Boston community, it has been our honor to call the City of Champions our home. We have the best fans. Period. Thank you for making The Fours part of your traditions over the years."
