Update: GrandTen Distilling in South Boston to Open GrandTen Bar

[Ed note: This article was updated on July 5, 2016 to reflect new information given, including a new name for the place.]

It looks like a distillery in South Boston is opening a bar within its space.

Eater Boston is reporting that GrandTen Distilling on Dorchester Avenue is looking to raise funds via Indiegogo to open a craft cocktail bar tentatively called Bar 383 inside its distillery, with the plan being to offer drinks in a "relaxing environment" that includes a "fully functioning bar serving spirits only available at the distillery." The business is trying to raise $20,000 by April 22, with the money going towards the installation of bar equipment and "requisite hook-ups" while keeping the historic character of the place intact.

GrandTen Distilling, which first opened in 2012, makes such products as rum, gin, cranberry liqueur, and more.

The address for GrandTen Distilling (and its proposed bar) is 383 Dorchester Avenue, Boston, MA, 02127. Its website can be found at http://www.grandten.com/

[July 5, 2016 update: A new article from Eater Boston states that the cocktail bar within GrandTen Distilling opens this weekend, and that it will be called GrandTen Bar (not Bar 383, which had been its original name).]
