A well-known spot among Northeastern University students closed permanently on Sunday. Community members, especially students, expressed grief over losing their gathering spot.
Two Saints Tavern Closed in Boston
Two Saints Tavern was a hangout spot always filled with an energetic vibe of visitors. The place with vivid wall art, cocktails, beer, and hearty eats attracted numerous students of Boston’s Northeastern University and other locals.
Located at 52 Gainsborough Street, the bar had high-energy nightlife, music, and social environment, attracting people for drinks, dance, karaoke, and game-watching nights.
Last week, the bar announced its decision to shut down permanently after serving on the weekend. The bar shut its doors on March 8, 2026, after raising a last glass. The post read, “Some places are more than just a bar. Two Saints Tavern became a home for unforgettable nights, loud music, new friendships, and memories that will live on forever.”
Established in 2018 at the former Our House East, the place was being run by managing partner Chuck Hitchcock.
Although it has been shut down, the establishment has created years of memories for its customers, particularly the students who used it as a social place near their campus.
