Last week, it was reported that a popular Irish pub in Somerville had shut down, and that its space was sold. Now we have learned what is moving into the space.
An email sent to us indicates that a new cocktail bar and restaurant called Tall Order will be opening in the former Thirsty Scholar space on Beacon Street, with the note saying that Daren Swisher and Joe Cammarata of the Daiquiris & Daisies cocktail bar at High Street Place in downtown Boston are behind it. The note mentions that the upcoming place will feature "classic and contemporary cocktails alongside modern American cuisine, New England-centric craft beer, and a thoughtfully curated, value driven wine list." If all goes as planned, Tall Order will open this fall.
The Thirsty Scholar first opened in the 1990s, closing temporarily in the summer of 2021 before reopening under new ownership in early 2022.
The address for the upcoming Tall Order is 70 Beacon Street, Somerville, MA, 02143. Its Instagram page is at https://www.instagram.com/tallorderbar
