A neon sign with a grinning skull and crossbones marks the spot. Underneath it sits a low blue shack loaded with buoys, ship wheels, lobster traps, and rope. The pirate look is fun, but the backstory is even better. This family seafood tradition traces back to 1927, when a grandmother sold clam chowder from her back porch.

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.

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
