The city has shut down the notorious South Boston bar that served as a bloody watering hole to James “Whitey” Bulger and his cutthroats before it was the backdrop to Sunday’s stabbing death, ordering the owner to surrender the liquor and entertainment licenses.
Patricia Malone, director of the Mayor’s Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing, said agents from her office, accompanied by police, handed a letter to the owner of The 6 House Wednesday night about 9:45 p.m. demanding the licenses. He complied, she said.
“It’s closed,” she said. “Because it’s a homicide, because of the severity of what happened, we turned over everything quickly.”
No one answered a call placed to a telephone number listed as belonging to the bar’s owner, Robert Mahr. The bar, now known as The 6 House, was formerly Triple O’s, a favorite haunt of Bulger, a Southie gangster and FBI most wanted fugitive.
Early Sunday, Adam Rich, 26, of Revere was there with two friends when a fight broke out. Rich died from eight stab wounds inflicted in a struggle. Police arrested Bernard “Bo” Piscopo, 38, of Dorchester in the slaying. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Wednesday.
Rich’s friends and family have called on the city to permanently shutter the troubled saloon, while police Commissioner Edward Davis vowed to be “aggressive” in evaluating the bar’s license.
Malone said despite calls for an immediate closure, the bar would get its day in court. Hearings on July 9 and 10 will determine the fate of the bar’s entertainment and liquor licenses, she said.
would be curios to find out the details on that story. triple o's was the last stop on broadway for last call.
cars were sometimes triple parked at 2am and it wasn't unusual to see fist fights out in the street at closing time.
the casino , Lithuanian club and street lights aka street fights were all rough places . the old places are gone , but some have new facades and apparently some of the old crowd as well.
although these two individuals were both from out of town

Over the years there have been plenty of places where people got carved up or caught 2 in the hat. Why all of a sudden the big push to suspend liquor licenses for these occurances? I think since the place was Whitey's haunt when it was Triple O's and maybe a few people left there feet first puts it in the "Notorious" category. It's a bit over the top if you ask me.
When Kevin 2 Weeks was working there and cracking noggins (according to him) nobody gave two shits. Because, drum roll please, Whitey was the MAN and ran that section of town and kept certain people greased. Now I am not buying into the Whitey mystique or some of the fables now told as truth by some "authors" but closing a place because of a percieved previous notions seems wrong and I hope Mahr gets his license back.
This guy Mahr, buys the place, fixes it up and it becomes a trendy spot with a 2AM license so people flock there for last call. Goes to show, you can dress up a pig and put it in a dress, but at the end of the day, it's still just a pig.
