Anybody remember what the previous name of Whiskey Priest was?
A good friend of mine was back in Boston a few months ago made a telling remark after I told him you won't believe how this city has changed since you went to school here. He replied 'My daughter was complaining how the Boston she went to school in had changed'. She graduated in 2017.
Whiskey Priest patrons soak up final moments
Boston drinkers made a pilgrimage to the Seaport yesterday to administer last rites to Whiskey Priest, which was formally shuttered last night.
“I’m here to have one last beer,” Brittany Readel said as she headed inside.
The 8-year-old Whiskey Priest wasn’t very old as Boston bars go, but it quickly became popular with its harborside roofdeck and city skyline view — before that was shut off by the booming district’s condo and office towers. People knocking back a few last beers yesterday said they mourn its closing because it’s the only casual, affordable joint in the ever-more-pricey area.
“There’s no more neighborhood spots around here,” said Joe Shutt, who used to come to the Priest with his wife when they worked at the World Trade Center nearby.
