The group behind several South Boston restaurants will be opening a new dining and drinking spot near all of them, and it will be taking over the space that has been home to a local bar that has been around for nearly 20 years.
According to a post within the jobs section of the bostonchefs.com site, Hunter's Kitchen & Bar is opening on Dorchester Street, with the address given indicating that it is moving into the space where The Junction has been since 2002. The post mentions that it will have a "southern fare food focus and a great bar scene" and that its sister restaurants are Capo, Lincoln Tavern & Restaurant, Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, and Fat Baby, which indicates that Hunter's will be part of the Broadway Restaurant Group. (The Junction had also been under the same ownership since shortly before Covid struck.)
The address for Hunter's Kitchen & Bar (and The Junction) is 110 Dorchester Street, South Boston, MA, 02127.
[August 12 update: An article from boston.com indicates that Hunter's Kitchen & Bar is now open, and that it has the feel of an "an old hunter's lodge" while offering such dishes as brisket sliders, chicken and waffles, ribs, and macaroni and cheese. For now, the restaurant is only open for dinner, with the hope being that it will open for lunch and brunch once it is able to hire enough staff.]
