Stats in Southie is closing for now, but has plans to reopen 'bigger and better'

"With the help of everyone that has danced on a chair, dropped a shot glass, or stumbled up the stairs, we've run this building into the ground over the past 16 years. The time has finally come to start over."

"Andrew Statires, one of the owners of Stats, confirmed that the new restaurant would be a Stats 2.0, but said the team is still working on what from the old restaurant will return and what changes diners can expect. They're aiming for a reopening of late 2027."

"Statires said he and his brother, Jim Statires, bought the building at 75-77 Dorchester St. over a decade ago with plans to redevelop it. The building will include 15 residential units and a two-story restaurant that will take over the ground floor and the basement."

Stats Bar & Grille, a popular South Boston sports bar, is closing at the end of the month after 16 years of operation. The owners announced the closure on Instagram, promising something "bigger and better" is coming. Stats 2.0 will be part of a five-story mixed-use development at the bar's current location on Dorchester Street. The new establishment will occupy a two-story space on the ground floor and basement of the development, which will also include 15 residential units. Owner Andrew Statires confirmed the project was approved by Boston's zoning board and aims for a late 2027 reopening, though construction timelines may affect this date. The team is still determining which elements from the original bar will return.
