[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect the fact that Cannonball Cafe will remain open.]
It looks like the people involved with a local restaurant group with locations in South Boston could be opening a new spot in Southie.
According to a Boston licensing hearing board page, Cannonball Cafe on Dorchester Avenue is looking to transfer its beer and wine license to a venue tentatively called Park City, which would operate at the same site as the cafe (which will stay open) and would include an outdoor space, seating for 440, lawn games, and a stage for live music. The manager listed for the proposed spot is Michael Shaw while the company listed is 383 Lot, LLC, which Bizapedia shows as having the same address as Broadway Restaurant Group (of which Shaw is a part and includes Loco, Lincoln, Fat Baby, Hunter's, and Capo, all of which are in South Boston).
The address for Cannonball Cafe (and the proposed Park City) is 383 Dorchester Avenue, South Boston, MA, 02127.
[September 24 update: A statement has been sent to us that gives the following information on the plans: "Broadway Restaurant Group has signed a lease with Core to operate a seasonal outdoor venue at The LOT, Core’s events space at 383 Dorchester Ave. Activities will include live music, a variety of food options, a pavilion bar, walk-up bars, lawn games and more. In addition, The LOT will continue to host seasonal activities including many family events adjacent to the Broadway space. The Cannonball Cafe, now in its third successful year at the location, will continue to serve the community."]
