It looks like a brand new indoor and outdoor beer garden is on its way to the North Shore, replacing an upscale steakhouse under the same ownership.
According to a source, The Double Bull Taphouse & Grill is planning to open in the old Bancroft Space at the Northshore Mall in Peabody, with a Patch article confirming this. The upcoming place will be run by the Webber Restaurant Group, which also operates the still-open Bancroft in Burlington along with the Gibbet Hill Grill in Groton and the Scarlet Oak Tavern in Hingham. If all goes as planned, The Double Bull Taphouse & Grill could be opening sometime this spring.
An earlier article here had mentioned that a new concept would indeed be replacing the Peabody location of The Bancroft, which closed as the pandemic took hold last spring and subsequently announced that it would not be reopening.

[June 10 update: Based on its social media, The Double Bull Taphouse & Grill is now open.]
