Cambridge Common and Lizard Lounge will shut down at the end of May 2027 as part of their owners’ plans to sell the building, according to WBUR.
The closure plans cover both the long-running restaurant and the club. WBUR reported the decision Oct. 30, identifying Holly Heslop and Charlie Christopher as the owners.
The report places the shutdowns next year, rather than this fall. The planned property sale and the closing of the two businesses are linked in the owners’ announcement, but the supplied account does not identify a buyer or describe a future use for the building.
What’s next: The announced timetable calls for both businesses to close at May’s end. No date for completing the building sale was provided in the available report.
