Local Institutions Sorrowfully Say Goodbye: Bode's Corned Beef House to Close After Six Decades of Service

In a poignant end to an era, beloved institution Bode's Corned Beef House has announced its closure, marking the end of an astonishing 66 years of serving the community. The news, shared on social media over the weekend, confirms that the restaurant will close its doors for good on December 19th.

According to the owners, their decision is bittersweet as they reveal that they have been forced to sell the building to a new company. While this change in ownership has led to their closure, it also presents an opportunity for Bode's Corned Beef House to explore new possibilities.

The restaurant expressed its gratitude to the Plymouth community for the memories and moments shared over six decades of operation. Their farewell message is one of heartfelt appreciation, thanking patrons for allowing them to be part of family gatherings, children's birthdays, and countless other special occasions.

As a token of their affection, Bode's Corned Beef House has announced that it will host a fundraising event on December 15th from 4-8 pm, where customers can contribute to support the laid-off staff. The suggested cover charge is $20 per person, an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the legacy of this iconic eatery.

Bode's Corned Beef House has its roots in 1959, a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. As we bid farewell to this beloved institution, we remember the countless stories, laughter, and memories forged within its walls.

I'm really bummed to hear that Bode's Corned Beef House is closing 🤕. I mean, 66 years is a looong time! I remember when my grandparents used to take me there for Sunday roasts back in the day... they'd order the corned beef sandwich and mashed potatoes, and it was always so yummy 😋. It's crazy that they have to sell the building now, but hey, at least it'll be a great opportunity for them to start something new 🎉. And I love that they're having a fundraising event! We should all go show our support and give those guys a big thank you 🙏. I'm gonna miss going there with my family too... the nostalgia is real 😊.

Aww man, this is so sad! I'm gonna miss Bode's Corned Beef House so much. It's crazy that it's been around for 66 years already! They have such an amazing history and they've seen so many families grow up and come back to their favorite spot. The owners are being super classy about the whole thing too, by hosting a fundraising event to help the staff who will be losing their jobs.

I love how they're acknowledging that this is bittersweet news for them, but also seeing it as an opportunity to explore new things. That's really inspiring! And $20 per person for a cover charge is super reasonable, so I'm definitely gonna try to check out the event on December 15th.

It's always hard when a place like that closes down, you know? It feels like a part of your community is leaving with it. But at least we get to say goodbye and celebrate their legacy in style!

Ugh, I know I'm gonna sound like a total buzzkill, but come on, 66 years is a loooong time! You'd think they could've made it work another year or two. Guess you can't put a price on nostalgia... literally 🤑. Anyway, $20 cover charge for the fundraiser? That's kinda steep. I hope they're getting good value out of it. The thing is, it's not like they didn't see this coming. I mean, the building had to be sold at some point, right? It's just a shame they couldn't find a way to make it work without having to let staff go 🤕.

I mean, who doesn't love their corned beef sandwiches? 😋 It's like losing a part of our community history 📚. The fact that they're selling the building and exploring new possibilities is bittersweet, but at least it gives them an opportunity to innovate 💡. Let's come together on Dec 15th and show some love to Bode's Corned Beef House and support their laid-off staff 🤝 #RIPBodesCornedBeefHouse #CommunityFirst #SupportLocalEats
 
man... 66 years is a crazy long time, you feel? it's like, we're literally talking about three generations of families having their birthdays and weddings at that place 🤯. and now it's just gonna be closed doors for good? it's sad, you know? but on the other hand, think about all the amazing memories those walls must hold... like, who even got engaged there back in the 70s? or had their first kiss under the neon sign? it's like, we're losing a piece of our collective history 😔. and the fact that they're hosting this fundraising event is actually really cool - i mean, who wouldn't want to support the people who made those memories possible? 🎉
