Are you missing the pub on Wednesday nights? According to pub employee Jack Hartman '07, you're probably one of the few who do.
Jack Magee's Pub, previously open Wednesday through Saturday, is now no longer open for business on Wednesday nights, BCNews first reported.
"The pub is closed on Wednesdays because of the large loss in profits over the past two years. Wednesday nights were never really huge and probably about $15 to $20 of booze was a sold a night," said Hartman.
He remembers that Wednesdays only did well when there was a special event to draw students to the pub.
"There were two or three special events that happened during the year where Wednesday nights would pull in huge profits," he said.
Hartman thinks that the pub's decision could be an indicator of future closings.
"If the pub isn't supported better by the students this year, or even this first semester, we may see the end of Friday and possibly Saturday nights as well."
He points out that pub attendance is directly correlated to the entertainment booked at the pub that night.
"DJs pull in a large profit while bands tend not to," he said. "The pub and the booking of entertainment are completely independent of each other...I feel it is a problem and should be changed."
