"Whitney's has always played music in accordance with our entertainment license, and we have never had to meet with the City of Cambridge and its license commission for any noise complaint," McGuire, owner of Whitney's for six years, said in the press release. "We're beginning to think 'noise' truly cannot be the reason for wanting us to leave, and leave in such a hurry, after our repeated assurances that we would keep the volume down."
Mayhaw's attorney Lori A. Drayton said the eviction notice was actually handed out over the bar's "failure to pay any rent since October 2023, not due to any noise issues." Boston.com reached out to Drayton for a statement and more information but didn't hear back in time for publication.
McGuire said he withheld paying rent for a three-month period over power enhancements that Mayhaw had promised to do for Whitney's, but didn't follow through despite making upgrades at other properties.
On Monday publicist Dominic Amenta told Boston.com the situation has turned into a "he said, she said" dispute and that Mayhaw's claim of Whitney's owing rent wasn't true.
