Verona Grille to Reopen as Billy's Pub

When Verona Grille closed their doors for good last summer, several community members said they were sad and loved the food at the restaurant.

Now, more than a year later, the restaurant will be opening under a new name and new management.

James J. Larson met with the Board of Selectmen in May to ask for a transfer of management for the alcohol license. Larson said he plans to reopen the restaurant as Billy's Pub. 

According to Town Manager Daniel Morgado, the Board of Selectmen approved the alcohol license and it is now under review by the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.

No opening date has been announced for the new pub. Although the hours of business will be 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Sunday.
