The Tiniest Pub is Closing

While Americans are always searching for the biggest of everything, from super-sized meals to SUVs, Bostonist has come to appreciate the little things in life (perhaps that’s what happens when you start living in a tiny apartment). This way of thinking has led Bostonist to appreciate the smallest watering hole in the city, aptly named The Littlest Bar. On St. Patty's day, we told you all to hit up this Irish pub since it's one of our favorites. Located in Downtown Crossing on Province Street, this bar truly is tiny, with a maximum capacity of 38 patrons, and has been serving drinks for 60 years. So Bostonist was very sad to read in the Globe this morning that it'll be closing its doors forever. The Abbey Group, a real estate developer who revitalized the Landmark Center in Fenway, will be taking over the pub’s space to build 150 condominiums; the bar will most likely be closed by this December. According to the Globe article, the Abbey Group claims they might be “preserving some semblance of The Littlest Bar." (We aren't going to hold our breath on this one.) Since the place opens at 8:30am and stays open until 1:30am, there is plenty of time to stop in and pay your respects.
