Lynch confirmed the closure via social media. 'After three years in the beautiful space on Rocky Neck, I have made the very personal decision to close The Rudder with immediate effect.'
Expressing gratitude, Lynch added, 'I would like to thank the community for all of their support. Gloucester has always been and will remain very dear to my heart.'
The shut down comes amid challenges in Lynch's career, including accusations of a toxic workplace and legal issues regarding tip diversion from the Barbara Lynch Collective.
Lynch's restaurant empire has diminished significantly, with only two remaining establishments, No. 9 Park and B&G Oysters, following the closure and sales of several others.
