Lyceum Bar & Grill
From Salem Links and Lore
Housed in the former Lyceum Hall, this restaurant and bar was restored and opened in the 1970's by Joan Boudreau and her family. It was acquired by local restauranteur George Harrington in August 1989. It quickly became a favorite spot for European style dining in Salem.
The restaurant closed in late 2009 for renovations and opened up Nov. 2009 under its new shorter name, The Lyceum.
George Harrington was well known for the popular restaurant he ran in Marblehead with his then wife, called "Rosalie's."
A new restaurant will open in 2011 on this site, under the ownership of Harrington's son, George Jr. and a partner.
