A new restaurant and bar may be on its way to a space near Boston's North Station, and it would replace another dining and drinking spot that closed a few months ago--and the owner of the proposed place ran a beloved bar in Downtown Crossing that recently shut down.
According to a licensing board hearing page notice, a new spot called The Flagrant Fowl is looking to open on Portland Street, moving into the space that had been home to Porters Bar and Grill until it closed in June. The manager listed is David Savoie, who was the owner of Silvertone Bar & Grill, a Bromfield Street dining and drinking spot that also closed in June, and Savoie seems to hint at this in a recent Facebook thread, mentioning his plans to open a new place "near the Gaahhhden." The hearing notice states that The Flagrant Fowl would have dining areas with seating for 66 and a bar with seating for 16, though no other details have been given; more should be known by later next week once the licensing board hears of the plans.
Porters Bar and Grill had been in business for just under 25 years while Silvertone first opened in 1997, with Savoie becoming the new owner in 2016.
The address for the proposed Flagrant Fowl is 173 Portland Street, Boston, MA, 02114.
