Anthony's Pier 4 Restaurant

Anthony's Pier 4 is a former restaurant on the South Boston waterfront opened in 1963 by restaurateur Anthony Athanas. By the early 1980s, the restaurant was grossing about twelve million dollars annually, making it one of the highest-grossing restaurants in the United States. The restaurant closed in 2013, and was scheduled to be the site of a condominium complex.

In 1982, the parking lot was the location of the murders of Brian Halloran and Michael Donahue by Whitey Bulger and another associate of the Winter Hill Gang. The murder was later a scene in the 2015 film Black Mass.

It was purchased by Anthony's Pier 4 in 1963, functioned as a floating function hall and waiting area for restaurant patrons. The remains of the vessel were left in the harbor beside the pier until February 2017, when it was Sept 2001 2016
