Boston Restaurant Talk reports Andrew O'Keefe is moving up here with his wife Jenny to open a pub called A.T. O'Keefe's Provisions and Pub in the former McGreevy's space, near where Lir used to be - where the landlord is hoping to get somebody to re-open that space.

Same As It Ever Was
Wasn't Prime Minister Pete Nice a partner in McGreevey's?
Here we go!
Outside of the obvious "We knew this was coming once the closures started" grumbling that this will surely elicit from people who care about this kind of thing (I am surely in that crowd) can we please take a moment and throw as much shade as possible at that name? Can we, as a society, PLEASE stop using "provisions" in restaurant names? We're just getting a damn burger and beer, we're not stocking up before bringing the covered wagons out west.
As long as it doesn't call itself a "drinkery" or
a "nitery", I'm fine with it.
It's a little freaky that the new name uses "and" when there's a perfectly good pile of ampersands left over from 2015 just waiting to be looted.
McGreevey's was worse than Cheers
Not saying the new place will be much better but thank god the suburban drunk bagpipe seekers will now seek their Dropkick fix somewhere else.
Ouch.
That’s quite an accomplishment
Idiot
You're a stupid person. But, you're not as stupid as the people trying to open this place or talking about this place and can't even spell McGreevy's correctly. The brand they're either trying to steal or taking a massive dump on. The would literally just have to go in front of the building, look up, and look at the sign. But I wouldn't expect them to out that much effort into figuring out how they could do well there.
OMG
As a drunken blonde gal, who happens to be drunk right now *burp*, I am sooo excited to meet up with my besties there and then cry next to the toilet after putting those mean bouncers in their place.
