A new dining and drinking spot is on its way to Quincy, replacing another restaurant that has been in operation for six years--and the new place will feature a unique twist on a regional style of pizza.
According to a source (Casey Doyle), Drifters Kitchen and Bar is planning to open in the city's downtown area, taking over the space where Idle Hour has been since the summer of 2018. An article from the Patriot Ledger says that the upcoming spot will feature classic American fare while a raw bar will likely be offered as well, and its "flagship" will be bar pizza, but instead of being the traditional round 10-inch pizzas known throughout the South Shore, they will be 12-inch pizzas with a thinner crust and cut into squares.
Will Falaro of the Broadway Restaurant Group in South Boston is the owner of Drifters Kitchen and Bar, working with business partners Andrew Moccia (also from the Broadway Restaurant Group) and Nick Palermo, Michael Johnson, and Evan Harrington of the Liberty Tavern in Quincy.
The address for the upcoming Drifters Kitchen and Bar (and Idle Hour) is 1464 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA, 02169.
