A neighborhood bar in Allston that has been around for nearly 90 years is now serving a regional food that is typically found south of Boston.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, the Model Cafe on N Beacon Street is now offering bar pizza, with a Facebook post from the place indicating that they started serving bar pies this past Friday. The introduction of bar pizza appears to be in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that bars can only be open if they serve food made on-site, and the Model Cafe has reportedly not been open since the pandemic began.
The Model Cafe, which first opened back in 1932, is known in part for its cheap drinks, live music, and pinball machine.
The address for the Model Cafe is 7 N Beacon St, Allston, MA, 02134.
