You could make a Jay Gatsby joke here.
Sounds like Daisy broke her final heart in November, 2014. From Boston.com:
A sign on the wall of the bar describes Daisy’s as a place “where anything can happen,’’ and that’s especially true if you ever kept the bat on your shoulder for a 3-1 pitch at Fenway or laced up skates at the Garden. Athletes from Bobby Orr to Charles Barkley to Mike Napoli, as well as celebrities like Leslie Nielsen and Ellen Degeneres, have walked the step down from Newbury St. and bellied up to the bar.
There won’t be many more chances. In April, Cimino told the Herald that he’d sold the property at 240A Newbury Street, along with an abutting building at 41 Fairfield Street, for a combined $14.5 million. The bar will remain open through the weekend before shutting down its Newbury St. location for good. Cimino tells Boston.com he plans to reopen the bar in another location, after taking some time off.
Daisy's opened in 1969, and was the place for the hottest names of sport and entertainment. Legend is that Jimmy Buffett wrote “Boat Drinks,’’ the lone hockey song in his catalogue, after a wintery night of debauchery with Sanderson at Daisy’s. “Visitor just scored on the home rink/Everything seems to be wrong …’’
An article from 2016 says Daisy's may make a comeback in its original space, but google maps reveals a CVS pharmacy and an art gallery.
