Yesterday and today business as slow, so on both days, I took a stroll around Beacon Hill.
I happened to stop at the Beacon Hill Tavern, where I spoke with one of the owners. How true this is I’m not sure. But he told me and others at the bar that prior to COVID-19 he was grossing $40K a week. In the last few weeks, it was down to $15k a week. Thanks to a large part of outdoor sitting. As result. he needed to speak with his landlord about the lease. I wasn’t aware of this but his rent is triple net, he’s paying property taxes, utilities (water bill) plus a percentage of sales.
That gross figure diminishes quickly when you encounter all those expenses.
A few hours ago, I picked up a pizza to go order and Harvard Gardens, unfortunately, the same story played out there. I noticed that the bartender was also the waiter, he told me that Lions Group owned the Harvard Gardens among many other bars/restaurants, especially in the Fenway area.
What he told me next surprised me, apparently within this large organization, Harvard Gardens was the only one of their restaurant that was breaking even.
