Let us present to you the curious case of Shea’s Tavern.  Located at 266 West Broadway, Shea’s Tavern is unlike other bars in the neighborhood – when it’s open and closed is random, and there is no set schedule of hours posted.  The elusive spot will randomly open with no rhyme or reason.  Maybe it’s open on a Tuesday night. Maybe it’s open on a Sunday afternoon.  No one knows! Maybe the old-school bar needs to be open a certain amount of days per year in order to keep its liquor license, so it will randomly open when the owner feels like opening the doors.  We don’t know – we’re just guessing.

Well, one Southie resident would like to take the guesswork out of the question, “Is Shea’s Tavern open?” A new Instagram account has surfaced asking exactly this question.  You can follow them here.  

So if you drive by Shea’s, located right next door to Al’s Liquors (same owners), and notice it is open, message the account here and let them know so they can let all of the neighborhood know too!
