Update: Sam Walker's Tavern to Open in Former Waxy O'Connor's Space in Woburn

A dining and drinking spot that is known in part for its comfort food is looking to expand to the northern suburbs of Boston.

According to a Patch article, Lucy's American Tavern is planning to open a new restaurant and bar in Woburn, moving into the space on Rainin Road where a location of Waxy O'Connor's had been until closing in the early part of 2019. The post mentions that the city's license commission is slated to look into their request for a liquor license on April 15; if approved and the menu ends up being similar to that of Lucy's on Gallivan Boulevard in Dorchester's Adams Village neighborhood, expect to see such items as burgers, wings, nachos, steak tips, pulled pork, fish and chips, macaroni and cheese, and more at the new location, along with beer, wine, and cocktails.

The address for the new dining and drinking spot from the people behind Lucy's American Tavern in Woburn is 1 Rainin Road, Woburn, MA, 01801.

[September 30 update: A website for the place indicates that the new restaurant and bar from the Lucy's team will be called Sam Walker's Tavern, and that it plans to open sometime this fall. (A Patch article had reported on the name earlier.)]
