West Bridgewater’s the Charlie Horse closes its doors after 25 years
One of West Bridgewater’s well-known watering holes closed its doors for good Sunday night.
The Charlie Horse, located at 674 Old West Center St. and known for its extensive sports memorabilia collection, closed its doors after 25 years “due to circumstances beyond [their] control,” according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page Monday.

Employees got the news Monday morning that the sports restaurant they had celebrated in April for its 25 years in business was suddenly closing, according to The Enterprise.
Co-owner Mary Barrett-Costello told The Enterprise that it was a decline in business and the restaurant’s large location that led to its closing.
“The bottom line is we just can’t afford to stay here,” she said. “This is not for lack of trying. We’ve tried a lot of things and we’re going out with our head high because we’ve done a great job.”
All employees are being given the opportunity to continue working for other restaurants owned by Barrett-Costello and her family, The Enterprise reported.
The restaurant will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 4-7 p.m. for customers to redeem arcade tickets, according to a post on its Facebook page.
