Is the Liberty Bell Restaurant closed?
The Liberty Bell Restaurant on Main Street has been locked up for the last couple of week. Anyone who goes by will see that the restaurant is closed, the chairs are all up on the tables and the lights are off. There is also no sign explaining what's going on and no visible signs of renovation. Also, the phone number is no longer active. One readers asked Woburn Patch on our Facebook page if the restaurant is closed. Well, You ask, Patch answers. We were not able to get in touch with the owner of Liberty Bell, but we were told by someone who knows that the restaurant has been sold. It is as yet unknown if the new owner will keep the location the same or open a new business. For now the business remains closed. Woburn Patch will update this …

What's going on with the Irish pub?
The saga of Waxy O'Connor's continues in Woburn this month. The traditional Irish pub has been making promises to the city about opening—first it was November of 2012, then January 2013. But as of Jan. 7, it has still not opened at the site of the old Spuds restaurant off of Montvale Avenue. The city's Licensing Commission issued an ultimatum last November—open by January or you lose your liquor license. Woburn Patch reached Paul Medeiros of the Licensing Commission last Friday. He had this to say about the restaurant and it's progress: "The recent flurry of activities at the property are promising and we remain hopeful that Waxy's will meet the deadline and be a welcomed addition to the very vibrant Woburn restaurant scene."
