A new restaurant is opening in the southwestern suburbs of Boston, and its name appears to be a familiar name in the local area.
According to a post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com, Beacons Restaurant is planning to open in Walpole, with the address indicating that it may be taking over the former British Beer Company space on Route 1. The listing mentions that it will be a new concept, though other posts on social media hint that his could be a rebirth of sorts of the long-closed Beacon Restaurant in Norwood, including one poster saying "We welcome the Beacon back!!!" If all goes as planned, Beacons Restaurant (which is also showing up in places as "Beacon's Restaurant") could be opening in September.
The Walpole location of British Beer Company closed toward the end of 2017.
The address for this new dining spot in Walpole is: Beacons Restaurant, 85 Providence Highway (Route 1), Walpole, MA, 02032. Its Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/Beacons-Restaurant-106486040695744/
[October 24 update: A Facebook post from the place indicates that Beacons Restaurant is now open in Walpole.]
