A brand new dining and drinking spot is debuting on the North Shore, and a local entertainer with ties to Las Vegas is behind the spot.
According to an article from the Marblehead Reporter/Wicked Local, The Beacon Restaurant & Bar is opening in the old Wick's space within Warwick Place in Marblehead, with Johnny Ray of the Johnny Ray Band and business partner Chef Edgar Alleyne of the now-closed Red Rock Bistro in Swampscott being behind the Pleasant Street place. A check on the website for the restaurant mentions that it will include a bar and an outdoor patio while live music, dancing, and comedy shows are part of the plans. The site also hints that today could actually be its opening day; as soon as we confirm this, we will post an update here.
Johnny Ray is a singer who is known in part for his lounge music along with pop, soul, and classic rock, performing in the Greater Boston area, Las Vegas, and elsewhere.
The address for The Beacon Restaurant & Bar is 123 Pleasant Street, Marblehead, MA, 01945. Its website can be found at https://thebeaconmarblehead.com/
[July 8 update: A Facebook post from the place confirms that The Beacon is now open.]
