BOSTON, MA — A popular Boston bar forced to close during the pandemic is back from the dead.

Pour House, one of a trio of Boylston Street haunts that closed last year, is set to return in early 2022.

The bar was sold in September 2020 after 34 years, but Charles Talanian, president of realty firm C. Talanian Realty Co., which owns the building, told Boston.com he always planned to reopen it.

Talanian has been buying back the Pour House business that he and two other partners previously shared and will lease it to a management group to run the bar, Boston.com reported. He says the bar will reopen "exactly as the [previous] Pour House."

Neighboring bars McGreevy's and Whiskey's also closed during the pandemic. McGreevy's will live on in spirit, as former manager Charles Hitchcock has been tapped to run Pour House when it returns.
