Update: The Alley Food Hall Is Opening in Downtown Boston

It looks like the team behind a local group of food halls known for their self-service beer taps is opening another one, and this one would be in the heart of Boston.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, a new Craft Food Halls is seeking to operate at One Post Office Square, with the notice saying that it would be in one large room on the ground floor with various dining and seating areas, and with a proposed closing time of 2:00 AM. If approved, the new location of Craft Food Halls would join locations of various sizes in Eastern Massachusetts including in Allston-Brighton, Cambridge, Waltham, and Lexington.

The website for Craft Food Halls is at https://www.craftfoodhalls.com/

[June 12 update: NBC10 Boston states that the new food hall from the Craft Food Halls team is now open in Post Office Square, and it is called The Alley.]
