"After 84 years in operation and three generations of ownership, Sully’s at 28 Chestnut St. in Quincy has closed its doors; open since the end of Prohibition, the storied dive bar served its final pint after owner Brian Sullivan said business had been slow due to changing times and demographics, and his wife Patty attributed the closure to the changing landscape of the city. New developments have reshaped the block—West of Chestnut opened across the street with several restaurants, retail spaces, and residences, and there’s speculation an East of Chestnut development may eventually occupy Sully’s side of the street. Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance purchased the building that housed the bar, and the company’s vice president, Kevin Meskell, declined to comment on what’s next for the property." - Terrence Doyle
