According to both the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe, the Back Bay Social Club will be opening in the old Vinny T's spot on Boylston Street, which is between Fairfield and Gloucester Streets and across from the Prudential Center and the Hynes Convention Center. The Herald mentions that the restaurant will have a capacity of 200 and will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A job posting on the Craigslist states that the Back Bay Social club will be open seven days a week.
Both the Herald and Globe articles (which are from earlier this spring) state that the Back Bay Social Club was to have opened in late May. There currently does not seem to be a specific opening date for the restaurant, but the post on Craigslist indicates that the place is hiring right now, so the Back Bay Social Club may indeed be opening soon (we will post an update as soon as we find more information).
The Lyons Group, which is behind the Summer Shack, La Verdad, House of Blues, Kings, and a number of other Boston-area spots, is also behind the opening of the Back Bay Social Club.
[August 2 update: The Back Bay Social Club has opened. A poster on our Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook page indicated that it opens today, but based on some Yelp reviews, it apparently opened over the weekend.]
The address for this new restaurant in the Back Bay of Boston is: Back Bay Social Club, 867 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116.
