The Tree Bar and Lounge Is Replacing Lychee Restaurant and Bar in Braintree

A new restaurant is coming to the South Shore, replacing an Asian fusion restaurant that took more than three years to open before debuting in late 2021.

According to a couple of sources, The Tree Bar and Lounge is planning to open in Braintree, taking over the space on Washington Street that has been home to Lychee Restaurant and Bar. A Patriot Ledger article mentions that David Fernando (Causeway Restaurant and Bar in Boston) is one of the partners involved with the upcoming spot, which will be a family-friendly restaurant that offers American fare including gourmet burgers. If all goes well, The Tree Bar and Lounge could be opening in two or three months.

The address for Lychee Restaurant and Bar (which remains open for now) and the upcoming Tree Bar and Lounge is 1177 Washington Street, Braintree, MA, 02184.

[September 15 update: A check on the place indicates that Lychee Restaurant and Bar is now closed.]

[February 8, 2024 update: Tree Bar and Lounge is now open, based on a check on the place last night.]
