Good Company Is Opening in Charlestown

An award-winning beverage director who is also known for his beverage consulting and bartending is going to be opening a cocktail bar in a new development just off Route 93.

According to an article within the bostonchefs.com site, Good Company is planning to open at Hood Park in Charlestown, with Seth Freidus (Eastern Standard, Alden & Harlow, Waypoint, Ledger, Bar Volpe, Contessa) being behind it. The post mentions that Freidus had been hoping to open the place in 2020 but it was delayed due to the pandemic; if all goes as planned, Good Company will debut sometime this fall.

Freidus was beverage director at both Alden & Harlow and Waypoint, with the former being awarded best bar program by Boston Magazine in 2015 and the latter being awarded Best Cocktail Program from Boston Magazine in 2017.

The address for Good Company is 100 Hood Park Drive, Charlestown, MA, 02129. Its website is at https://www.goodcompanyboston.com/ while its Instagram page is at https://www.instagram.com/goodcompanybos/

[November 15 update: According to a press release, Good Company debuts this evening, with the new spot offering a variety of cocktails along with beer, wine, flights of spirits (rum, agave, bourbon and rye, Irish whiskey and scotch, Japanese whiskey, cognac, armagnac, and sherry), and food options such as oysters, fried green olives, wings, burgers, crab toast, steak tartare, ice cream sandwiches, and more.]
