Michael Alvarez+FollowLate-night eats could be coming to JPJamaica Plain might soon have a new late-night spot for food and drinks! The Jeanie Johnston Pub is hoping to extend its hours until 2 a.m. every night and serve up heartier meals like burgers, salads, and soups until 1:30 a.m. Locals seem mostly on board, especially since the owners have a solid 23-year track record and are super hands-on. Still, there’s a bit of pushback from some neighbors worried about noise.

Before any demolition, every historic piece was carefully removed and stored, with plans to reuse them in the new building. It’s a tough call between preserving our past and keeping people safe.
