Lyceum Bar & Grill

Housed in the former Lyceum Hall, this restaurant and bar opened in 1971 by Joan and Joe Boudreau after they saved and renovated to old building. 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.
