Two restaurants in the Seaport are closing in 2026, and as a result, dozens of employees are being laid off, according to a WARN filing posted last week.

Boston Business Journal first reported the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filing, which requires companies with at least 50 employees to give 60 days’ notice before a mass layoff. Rebel Restaurants, Inc., which owns Tony C’s and Temazcal in the Seaport, will close Jan. 31 and lay off 84 managers and workers, according to the filing.

Temazcal, a Mexican restaurant tequila bar, opened in the Seaport in 2011 and has multiple locations in Greater Boston. Sports bar Tony C’s, named after a Red Sox outfielder, took over Jerry Remy’s in 2016 and also spans several locations.

A representative of the restaurants told Boston.com that the closures were due to their lease not being renewed. Lincoln Property Company owns the spaces along Northern Avenue.
