BostonPhotography > Kevin Kerfoot (therion256)  > History > The Littlest Bar
The Littlest Bar was a really small Irish Pub in Boston at the intersection of Bosworth and Province Streets. The place and its adjoining parking garage was slated to close at the end of July 2006, and be torn down in order to make room for high-priced condominiums.

The Littest Bar probably lives up to its name, as I've seen walk-in closets and bathrooms which were larger than this establishment. The maximum occupancy of this place is 38 people, including barstaff. The pictures will give you an idea of how small and how full of character the place was. It is a one-of-a-kind Boston landmark which will be sorely missed. I attempt to convey some of the uniqueness and smallness of this bar in the gallery pictures while under the influence of a few pints of Guinness.

Update: I regret to inform that as of 9/23/2006, the Littlest Bar closed down. See this article in the Boston Globe.

Another article on The Littlest Bar from the Boston Phoenix

All's not lost though...the owner has relocated the bar to a location on 102 Broad St. in the Financial District. See the article in the Herald here.

The UniversalHub blog has more on the closing, to which I contributed a posting.

This gallery now contains pictures of the bar as it was still in operating stages, to its demolition in the later photos. Hopefully, provided that the owner makes good on relocating, I'll have the new location in here as well.

Kevin Kerfoot (therion256) > Again, I'm in the doorway, pointing directly towards the back (Jukebox, TV, payphone, air conditioner.)  The wall opposite the bar is visible.

If you want to use the payphone, you have to go into the rest room (less of an issue with cell phones these days.)
