According to a source, Ward 4 is looking to open in Auburndale, moving into a space on Auburn Street a short distance south of Commonwealth Avenue and just north of the Mass. Pike. Our source says that the upcoming spot could be serving at least some BBQ items, though the Facebook page for the place only indicates that it will be an "American" restaurant. A post within the Auburndale Library Community site hints that discussions on Ward 4 go all the way back to at least 2015, though it appears that plans are now moving forward.
Auburndale currently has only a handful of dining options, including The Knotty Pine and Bocca Bella Cafe & Bistro.
The address for this upcoming restaurant and bar in Auburndale is: Ward 4, 277 Auburn Street, Newton, MA, 02466. Its website can be found at https://www.ward-4.com/
[March 30, 2020 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Ward 4 is finally getting close to opening, though with the ongoing restaurant restrictions in place, it is not sure how this might affect when exactly the new dining and drinking spot might open.]
[June 11, 2021 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Ward 4 hopes to open on June 19, with the website for the restaurant confirming this on its home page.]
