Weymouth residents should take note of the recent shifts in our local business community. During the March 17 meeting of the Board of Licensing Commissioners, the Board formally acknowledged the permanent closure of Nick's Restaurant and the cessation of operations at Barrel House Z LLC.

These closures mean the loss of two local dining and drinking establishments, impacting the town's hospitality landscape.

Additionally, the Board approved new licenses for Bridge Street Food Mart at -2 Bridge Street, granting them both a wine and malt package store license and a food vendor license. The owner noted during the hearing that they had previously held a license in 2025 that was not renewed.

We will continue to monitor how these licensing decisions and business shifts impact our neighborhoods and local economy.
