"A beloved Southie haunt opened in 2000 by Joey Arcari and Julian Bolger, the Playwright closed in August 2017 after 17 years but was later brought back by the same ownership; when it (re)opened on August 24, 2018 the team said they were "just going back to a neighborhood favorite," returning menu items guests had been missing and favoring a more chill, laid-back atmosphere rather than the previous, more in-your-face concept." - Terrence Doyle
