The Jacob Wirth Restaurant is a historic German-American restaurant and bar in Boston, Massachusetts at 31-39 Stuart Street. Founded in 1868, Jacob Wirth is the second oldest continuously operated restaurant in Boston.[2]

The Greek Revival building housing the restaurant was constructed in 1844. The German style restaurant was founded in 1868 and is the second oldest continuously operating restaurant in the city after the Union Oyster House.[3] The restaurant was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980[1] and designated a Boston Landmark in 1977, with interior and exterior protections - see the study report. Jacob Wirth was the first distributor of Anheuser Busch products. The Wirth family and Anheuser family are from the same small town in Germany.

In 2010, Chelsea developer "AJ Simboli Real Estate paid $1.6 million for the 14,000-square-foot eatery,"[4] The restaurant has been put up for sale in January 2018[2] after having filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[5]
