Streetlevel: Commonweath To Run Lighthouse, Mooney's?
While they suck for most people, recessions also provide others with opportunities.

While they suck for most people, recessions also provide others with opportunities. Along those lines, we received a tip that the owners of Commonwealth, a bar described by New York Magazine as “a kinder, gentler indie rock bar,” have plans to take over two shuttered bars in the area—the Red Sox-friendly Lighthouse Tavern (left) and the old-school Mooney’s Pub (right). Can anyone confirm?

this is the best neighborhood news i’ve heard in a while – so excited. one tiny request, though. please please please have some burgers in at least one of the new joints. i’ll try my hardest to be there at least once a week.
i can happily confirm that Ray Gish and Rory Dwyer co owners of Commonwealth are indeed taking over both The Lighthouse and Mooneys.We have chosen a couple of our favourite bartenders to be our business partners ,all of us are very excited.Both places will have a similar vibe to Commonwealth , we hope.
Mark Korns (a long time bartender at rory’s restaurant Long Tan) is our partner at the Lighthouse.We are currently renovating and hope to re-open it as High Dive sometime in February.i can assure you that it will no longer be a Red Sox bar,since we are not exactly sports minded people. (although we do enjoy the occasional hores race)
Sharelne Frank ( of Commonwealth fame) is our partner at Mooneys.While waiting for our liquor licence we will undertake some minor renovations ,mostly the bathrooms.we do not currently have a name for Mooneys ,so we would like to take this opportunity to ask our neighbors for suggestions. any ideas.
take it from me there will be no dj’s at the lighthouse or mooneys either.
It’s true. I have a friend who is going to be djing at the Lighthouse.
I tought Lighthouse was a White Sox bar.
Oh please. Maybe they’ll only play Sweet Caroline. That would be sweet. I mean then they could all stink out loud. Fever pitch! Cowboy Up!
Lame.

The curse is over. Why did THEY fold.

since 1974, in my case.
good thing the skanks got that 370$ bailout.
the Mooney’s space has been empty way too long.
this would be great.
