The Seaport will soon have two fewer restaurants.
Sports bar Tony C’s, named after a Red Sox outfielder, and Mexican tequila bar Temazcal Tequila Cantina, are set to close in early 2026. The restaurants’ parent company, Rebel Restaurants, Inc., filed a Dec. 8 entry under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), which requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide 60 days of written notice before a mass layoff.
According to the filing, the restaurant closures will include 84 layoffs. Here’s what to know about why and when the Seaport restaurants are closing.
Why are Tony C’s and Temazcal closing?
Rebel Restaurants told the Boston Business Journal that the closures are due to their lease not being renewed by the property’s landlord. The spaces along Northern Avenue, where both restaurants are located, are owned by Lincoln Property Company.
When are Tony C’s and Temazcal closing?
According to Rebel Restaurants’ WARN filing, the layoffs will go into effect on Jan. 31, 2026, meaning both restaurants will close by the end of January.
Want to eat at Tony C’s or Temazcal one last time before they close? Both restaurants are open from 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Wednesday or 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, located next to each other at 250 Northern Ave. in Boston. Both Tony C’s and Temazcal also have multiple other locations in the Greater Boston area.
