The East Boston Times-Free Press is reporting that Peter Ackerman, who owns two locations of Salvatore's, is planning to open a dining and drinking spot called Renegade's Pub in the former Victory Pub space in Orient Heights. The article says that the Bennington Street spot will have seating for 35 and will feature a wide variety of burgers and beer options, and that the space will apparently undergo major renovations before opening.
Last fall, Ackerman took ownership of Salvatore's in downtown Boston along with the Seaport District location, as founder Sal Lupoli transferred ownership of all locations to a few of the restaurant group's managers,
The address for this new gastropub in Orient Heights is: Renegade's Pub, 1004 Bennington Street, Boston, MA, 02128.
[May 5, 2017 update: Eater Boston hints that Renegade's Pub appears to be very close to opening, as it has only a "few final inspection hurdles" to clear before it debuts (possibly by the end of next week). In addition, EB says that the place will be run by three partners--Ackerman, Greg Weinstock, and Ryan Pozerycki.]
[May 16, 2017 update: A post on its Facebook page indicates that Renegade's Pub is now open.]
