ARLINGTON, MA — Common Ground Bar and Grill in Arlington may be calling it quits. The Broadway gastropub has a "For Lease" sign out front, Boston Restaurant Talk reported, and a source told the website that it would not be reopening.

Common Ground closed during the initial round of pandemic restrictions, and nothing has been posted on its Facebook page since March. The restaurant is also listed as "permanently closed" on Google.

Common Ground owner Bob O'Guin Jr. died in April 2019, and the original Allston location closed later that year. The Arlington restaurant was active into the spring.
