Permanently Closed Restaurants and Bars

It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye to some of my most loved restaurants and bars that closed due to the pandemic.

Stella Restaurant and Bar, Boston

2005 - 2020

Chef Evan Deluty opened Stella in 2005 and named the restaurant after his daughter. On a personal note, I celebrated my 50th there.

Deep Ellum, Allston

2007 - 2020

The green arrows take you to its hidden patio at the back.

Deep Ellum has everything you could want from a good bar. I almost don't want to let anyone know about it. Upon arrival, we were politely told they had reached capacity and to wait. I think to myself, so they don't pack them in, a good sign. Inside the positive vibes continue. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I loved the decor with the huge longhorn on top of the bar and the fans on a pulley system (particularly interesting touch). The bar had a unique beer selection and knowledgeable, attentive bar staff. I'm a big fan of Leffe, so they recommended a local beer called PRETTY THINGS "JACK D'OR" -- it was exactly what I was looking for! The food was good too, with an eclectic selection, from southern to German. I'm usually not a big fan of German food, but their THE BEST WURST PLATE was tasty. All in all, a great night out.

 

All permanently closed.
