Olde Boston’s Restaurant and Pub has been forced to close after extensive water damage was discovered in the restaurant early Saturday morning, according to Jim Bird, owner of the establishment.
The restaurant, located at 809 Central Ave., is housed in the Boston Centre. That building is water cooled and heated.
“It uses a water tower,” Bird said. “It has a boiler for heat.”
Bird said large hoses that keep the water circulating came undone on Friday night.
“We didn’t realize it had come undone until the cleaning crew got there at about 4 a.m.,” Bird said on Saturday.
