Local Institution Bode's Corned Beef House Set to Close After 66 Years of Serving Community
In a shocking move, the beloved Plymouth institution, Bode's Corned Beef House, has announced its closure after more than six decades of serving generations of families and community members. The news comes as a devastating blow to the local food scene and those who have grown up with fond memories of the restaurant.
According to a heartfelt social media post from the owners, the decision to close was not one they had anticipated or welcomed. Instead, it appears that the building's new owners have sold the property to a third party, leaving the family-run business with no choice but to shut its doors for good.
The news has left the community in shock and grief, with many expressing their gratitude and sadness on social media. The owners, who have poured their hearts and souls into the restaurant, are visibly heartbroken at the prospect of saying goodbye to a place that has been an integral part of their lives and the lives of countless others.
However, in a bid to provide support for its laid-off staff, Bode's Corned Beef House has announced plans to host a fundraising event, where guests can come together to enjoy one final corned beef meal and contribute to the staff's well-being. The event will take place from 4-8 pm on December 15th, with a cover charge of $20 per person.
While it remains unclear whether Bode's Corned Beef House will reopen in another location, the owners have expressed their hope that fate may allow for it. For now, however, fans of the restaurant will have to bid farewell to its iconic corned beef sandwiches and cozy dining atmosphere.
Bode's Corned Beef House has been a staple of Plymouth's culinary scene since 1959, serving generations of families and providing countless memories for its patrons. Its closure is a loss not just for the local community but also for the wider food world, which will undoubtedly miss this beloved institution.

i mean what's the point of havin a city without places like bodes? its more than just corned beef sandwiches, its about the people who made those sandwiches with love and care over 66 years. i remember goin there as a kid, it was always so warm and cozy inside, my grandparents would take me there on special occasions. now its gonna be gone forever 
we gotta support our local businesses like bodes, they're the ones that make our community worth livin in.
it's like losin a member of the familly they've been servin us for 66 yrs that's just crazy. i no how hard it is 2 run a biz, but to have 2 give up somethin u love like that... *sigh* 
my heart goes out 2 the staff & their families 
let's all come together 2 support dem thru this tough time 
they're hosting a fundraiser event which is super cool tho 
but it's not the same as having those iconic corned beef sandwiches at their own place 
. fingers crossed they'll find another spot to reopen tho 
the owners seem super down about it too 
hope they raise enough to help out the staff 
. And the worst part is, it was such a family-run business - you could just feel the love and care that went into every meal 
. Now it's gonna be all about the benjamins for those new owners 
...I just hope they don't mess with the recipe or anything 
. Fingers crossed they can reopen in a new spot tho! 
these owners have been serving the community for over 60 years and now they're being forced to close their doors due to some stranger buying the building it's just not fair 
and even though bode's corned beef house is closing its menu, its legacy will live on in our hearts 
At least they're trying to make the best of a bad situation by hosting that fundraiser event and giving their staff some support. That's really cool of them.
It's not just about the food (although, let's be real, those corned beef sandwiches are legendary 
), it's about the community and all the good times they've had there.
. The owners should've seen this coming...
what's the story with Bode's Corned Beef House selling out like that? didn't they own it themselves? how much did the new owners pay them and can we see the contract? sounds like a pretty shady deal if you ask me 
️ anyway the owners are doing the right thing by hosting that fundraising event to help out the staff it's not always easy to let go of something u love 
And a fundraising event is a great way to give them that support. Fingers crossed we can get Bode's back up and running in another location! 
. The owners did good, hosting a fundraiser event to help out the staff tho
