BOSTON (WHDH) -- Boston is saying goodbye to one of the city's most iconic watering holes.
After more than 30 years in business, the Purple Shamrock is shutting down.
But people were able to say their good-byes Thursday, with a traditional Irish wake, complete with music, food, and even an empty casket!
The bar will close its doors for good on Saturday.
