- 2 April 2025 - The owners of John Brewer's Tavern announced on their website:
After 27 great years in Waltham, John Brewers Tavern will be changing hands. Mike and Hannah Morse, both long-time Brewers employees, will be taking over as owners on January 1, 2026.
Mike started with us in 2008, just shy of 16 years old, as a kitchen food expeditor and busboy. He spent 15 years at our Malden location, along with stints in Waltham, learning and working his way through the business in a variety of positions. He is currently the General Manager in Waltham.
Hannah just celebrated her 10-year anniversary with Brewers, having worked in both Malden and Waltham. They met while working at Brewers Malden, got married, and now have a beautiful family.
We always told Mike that if he wanted to have his own business someday, he should treat the business he works for as if it were his own. That is exactly what he did and now his ownership dream is coming true.
We know that Mike and Hannah will carry on the Brewers name with great pride and a strong sense of tradition for all that has been accomplished over the last 27 years.
We would not have successfully lasted this long without a great staff and loyal guests. A sincere thank you to the thousands of wonderful people who have worked hard for us over the years. We truly have had and still have some tremendous staff members.
A sincere thank you to all those who have supported us by walking through our doors in Waltham, Malden (15 years), and Newton (10 years). Without this steadfast support, we would not have survived.
When you're on Marthas Vineyard, please visit us at the Offshore Ale Company brewpub in Oak Bluffs.
Good luck, Mike and Hannah! We are proud of you.

A beloved restaurant in business for 36 years on Moody Street won’t be closing next week.
Little India owner Bhushan Dhir was facing the end of his lease on November 30 and the potential closure of his business.
But he and landlord Ralph Amelia, both Waltham residents who harbor no ill will toward each other, have agreed on a month-to-month lease.
Amelia said when he finds an appropriate tenant for 475 Moody Street, he will give Dhir 30 days’ notice.
The new lease offers a reprieve to Little India, but leaves its long-term future unclear.
