The Boston Licensing Board voted on October 15, 2026 to let 7th Street Burger extend its closing hour to 1 a.m., turning down the restaurant’s request for a 2 a.m. shutdown. The decision followed objections from nearby residents and Councilor Ed Flynn.
During the licensing hearing, neighbors raised concerns that the take‑out eatery at 475 West Broadway in South Boston could generate late‑night noise. The board responded by granting an extension only to 1 a.m., rather than the 2 a.m. the chain had sought.
