[Ed note: This article was updated on January 2, 2020 to reflect the fact that the restaurant will remain open quite a bit longer than originally thought.]
Earlier this year, it was reported that yet another South Boston restaurant was facing an uncertain future due to new development. Now we have learned that the dining spot will indeed be closing.
BostonTweet states (via a Boston Magazine article) that Coppersmith on West 3rd Street is going to be shutting down as it makes way for a life sciences development that may also replace other nearby industrial and manufacturing buildings that had once been owned by Gillette. A press release from general manager Sheila Senat confirms its closure while also saying that "Our community is so important to us and our customers deserve the best, so we will be hosting an exciting lineup of events until we ultimately say goodbye in January."
Coppersmith first opened in 2015, with the place including a cafe and a dining area, a rooftop bar, indoor food trucks, and more in an old warehouse space.
The address for Coppersmith is 40 West 3rd street, South Boston, MA, 02127. Its website is at http://www.coppersmithboston.com/
[January 2, 2020 update: Eater Boston mentions that Coppersmith is now planning to remain open until late in the year, with the restaurant saying that "We're thrilled with this outcome, and we feel so fortunate to be able to stay open for a lot longer than we initially thought was possible."]
