A new restaurant and bar is on its way to the western suburbs, and it will be moving into a space that had been home to a location of a regional chain.
An email sent to us confirms what a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page told us, that West Village Tavern is opening in West Concord in the former 99 Restaurant & Pub space on Commonwealth Avenue. The email says that the upcoming dining and drinking spot will be part of the Wellesley Restaurant Group, which runs The Local Kitchen & Drinks in Waltham, Wayland, and Wellesley, along with Casa Loca Cantina in Westwood, and it plans to open sometime in August.
A look at the menu for West Village Tavern indicates that it will offer such items as stuffed clams, eggplant rollatini, French dip, steak tips, BBQ pork ribs, pan-seared haddock, Korean beef bowls, truffled gnocchi, and more.
The address for West Village Tavern in West Concord is 13 Commonwealth Avenue, West Concord, MA 01742.
[December 22 update: According to a source within the restaurant industry, West Village Tavern very quietly opened yesterday.]
