Professor Thom's doesn't look to be reopening

Several tipsters have claimed that Professor Thom's will not be reopening on Second Avenue between 13th Street and 14th Street.

The sports bar, which showcases Boston teams, has been closed since mid-March at the outset of the COVID-19 PAUSE. Meanwhile, the bar's website domain has expired and the phone has been disconnected. An email to bar bounced back as undeliverable.

A retail listing for the two-level space also arrived in mid-May, with an update on Monday. The broker describes it as a "fully vented commissary kitchen" with 4,000 total square feet.

Professor Thom's opened in 2005, and became known for hosting "Lost" viewing parties during that era of TV.

We asked Chris at Professor Thom's if they would let this stand...

"I saw that Friday when they were painting it. Rather big, huh? We won't be going that far -- our rep is very public already. But, look for a line down the sidewalk dividing the two fan bases."

Let's get lost (soberly)

We've heard from readers about those strange numbers on the gate at Professor Thom's on Second Avenue between 13th Street and 14th Street ....



This means nothing to me... A reader explained that this is from "Lost," which begins its finale tonight... and Thom's has a "Lost" viewing party.... I went to the site to link.... and I noticed this:




"Unfortunately, we will not be able to sell alcohol at the event due to Community Board relations but the party will still go on and the food and soda will be flowing."
