Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill, the Fenway restaurant that abruptly closed earlier this month, is slated to reopen under new ownership and management on April 13 — the day of the Red Sox home opener against the Washington Nationals at Fenway Park.
The Boston-based Cronin Group is buying the restaurant from Red Sox Nation president and NESN color analyst Jerry Remy and his partners, founder Jon Cronin confirmed yesterday.
Cronin, who had been an investor in the restaurant, owns and operates the Jerry Remy's location in the Seaport District under a licensing agreement with Remy. The Fenway restaurant also will operate under a licensing agreement.
"It's a good area with a lot of development going on, so we see big potential there for a nice restaurant," Cronin said. "We're going to do a quick makeover, implement a whole new made-from-scratch menu and upgrade the food and beverage offerings."
Cronin hopes to sign a new lease with the building's owner, a Boston Red Sox affiliate, next week. He is also applying to have the restaurant's liquor license transferred to his company.
Remy's namesake restaurant closed without warning March 3, and Remy and his primary partner, John O'Rourke, have been silent about what happened.
Reached yesterday, Remy still wouldn't talk about why it closed, but said he "couldn't be more ecstatic" that Cronin is taking over.
"We feel like it's going to be in very stable hands now that he's going to be the owner and operator," Remy said. "John was our major investor, and I'm glad it is in his hands. We're pleased that it turned out the way it did."
Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill opened in the shadow of Fenway Park in March 2010 after a $5 million build-out. A large roof deck was later added.
There's a lot of work before it reopens, including hiring 200 employees, according to Cronin, who encouraged former employees to apply. The revamped menu will include business lunch options for small and large groups.
The Cronin Group owns a string of other restaurant/bars in Boston, including Tia's Boston, Market, the Atlantic Beer Garden and Whiskey Priest in the Seaport District, and the Playwright and Boston Beer Garden in South Boston. It also owns Temazcal Tequila Cantinas in the Seaport District and Lynnfield, and Tony C's Sports Bar & Grill in Somerville and Burlington.
