QUINCY, Mass. — The owner of a popular pub on the South Shore of Massachusetts is closing the business after nearly three decades.

In a Facebook post, Gerry Hanley, the owner of Paddy Barry’s at 1574 Hancock Sreet in Quincy, said that Irish bar’s last call will be on Saturday, April 19.

“It’s with a heavy heart we announce that after 27 years, Paddy Barry’s is closing,” Hanley wrote. " All things must pass.”

Patrons of the beloved establishment expressed over the news of the coming closure.

“The end of an era for sure, but Gerry, you managed to give us all a taste of a real pub,” one Facebook commenter wrote. “Something that a lot of people have tried to emulate, but few have succeeded.”

In May 2024, Hanley announced that the future of Paddy Barry’s was “uncertain” due to a landlord dispute.
