The people behind a Dorchester dining spot may be opening a restaurant and speakeasy with a similar name in Roxbury.
According to a licensing committee hearing page within the City of Boston website, The Mix Vault is looking to open on Shawmut Avenue, with the address indicating that it would move into a space about a block away from Malnea Cass Boulevard. The notice mentions that the proposed place would have a takeout area and a kitchen along with a "hidden" door that leads to a bar with seating for 25 and a speakeasy, and the manager listed is Rufus Faulk who is one of the owners of The Mix on Talbot Avenue in the Ashmont/Peabody Square area. Based on that restaurant, The Mix Vault could be offering a mix of Southern fare and New England seafood dishes, but more should be known once the meeting takes place next week.
The address for The Mix Vault would be 720 Shawmut Avenue, Roxbury, MA 02119. The website for The Mix in Dorchester is at https://www.mixboston.com/
