Savin Bar and Kitchen Opening in Dorchester

In August, we had reported that the former C.F. Donovan's space in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester had been bought by the people behind McKenna's Cafe, which is across the street. At the time, the planned restaurant to be opened there had no name, but now a name has finally been given to the place.

According to a job post on Craigslist, Savin Bar and Kitchen is going to be opening on Savin Hill Avenue where C.F. Donovan's had been until closing about a year ago. Earlier we had mentioned that the upcoming eatery looks to be a modern and trendy place, and the people behind the restaurant are hoping that it will draw a mix of locals from the Savin Hill neighborhood as well as diners from other parts of the Boston area.

McKenna's Cafe, which is within sight of the spot where Savin Bar and Kitchen will be, is a neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot that our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) has reviewed. A review of that restaurant can be found here:

Based on the Craigslist post, expect an early 2011 opening for Savin Bar and Kitchen.

[March 14, 2011 update: According to the Thrillist site, Savin Bar and Kitchen is planning on opening today.]

The address for this new restaurant and bar in Dorchester is: Savin Bar and Kitchen, 112 Savin Hill Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125.
