"Allston’s Great Scott live music venue will not re-open after the coronavirus pandemic, general manager Tim Philbin announced on Facebook Friday afternoon.

Located at 122 Commonwealth Avenue, the rock club served as a live music venue for over 44 years. The venue, according to Vanayland, was notified by its landlord that the lease would not be renewed once the state’s closing of non-essential businesses due to the coronavirus ends.

“It is with a heavy heart today that I announce that Great Scott will not re-open,” general manager Tim Philbin posted to Facebook. “For 44 years Great Scott has provided entertainment and more than a few beverages to a loyal group of customers. From its inception in 1976 as a local bar featuring blues and folk performers to the 1980s and 1990s as a beloved college dive featuring cover bands and DJ nights, to the 2000s and its emergence as one of the best live music venues in the city, Great Scott has meant many things to many people.”

He continued, “Through it all we’ve aspired to be a good neighbor to our community and a friend to all who walk through our doors. There is a sign that still hangs in the venue from the establishment that Great Scott replaced. The name of which was Brandy’s. That sign reads ‘Where Incredible Friendships Begin’. I’m glad we never took it down because it explains Great Scott better than I ever could. Take care of yourselves and each other.”

Consequence of Sound named Great Scott the eighth-best concert-venue in America in 2016, stating, “Great Scott takes quality booking, unassuming intimacy, and a dash of comically out-of-place crowd surfing and turns it into something too special to describe.”
