At old O'Connor's, a menu of legal troubles and $82K in owed taxes | Exclusive

(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the building.) WORCESTER – A mortgage lender is suing the owners of the now-shuttered O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar, alleging, among other complaints, that they owe thousands in taxes to the city and are not doing enough to attract a buyer. The lawsuit is one of two being litigated against Kyle and Dennis Maxwell, the operators of Carlow Clove Inc., which owns the closed eatery at 1160 West Boylston St. The father and son duo took over O'Connor's in 2022 from Brendan and Claire O'Connor, who had operated the restaurant for more than 30 years . The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel. During a recent reporter visit, the restaurant appeared frozen in time, complete with signage advertising the week's specials. Only a portion of the black wooden sign that reads O'Connor's was out of place, having fallen and now resting against the entryway. "I've heard all sorts of

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.
