Merai Plans to Open in Brookline

The people behind an award-winning Thai restaurant are making plans to open another dining spot.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Mahaniyom in Brookline Village is going to be joined by a nearby restaurant called Merai, which means "alcohol" in Thai and which Mahaniyom co-owner Chompon Boonnak indicates will be "more playful" and with fusion cuisine being at least part of the focus.

Matt Murphy's in Brookline Appears to Have Closed Permanently

It looks like a beloved Irish pub in Brookline may have served its last pint.

Based on a tweet and photo from @Erin_sayswhat, the sign for Matt Murphy's on Harvard Street in Brookline Village has been taken down, with the post saying "Matt Murphy's officially gone Only the ghost of the sign (the 'we miss you' note in the window was removed a few weeks ago)." The popular watering hole shut down indefinitely in the early stages of the pandemic back in 2020 and apparently never reopened, based on its lack of posts on its Facebook page (their last post was made in May of that year).

Matt Murphy's first opened approximately 25 years ago, being a favorite among people in the neighborhood and Irish immigrants alike, with the place offering such options as potato leek soup, fish and chips, shepherd's pie, beef stew, and roasted chicken, along with beer, wine, and cocktails.

The address for Matt Murphy's was 14 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.

Omori Is Opening in the Former Best Burger Bar Space in Brookline Village

It looks like a Japanese restaurant may be on its way to Brookline, taking over the space where a burger spot had been.

According to an article in the Patch, Omori is planning to open in Brookline Village in the former Best Burger Bar space on Station Street. The proposed dining spot has a connection to three other restaurants in the Boston area--New Sushi in Allston and Boston and Nijiya Sushi in Medford--and it plans to have seating for 40 inside and an additional 18 outside. A hearing on Omori took place earlier this week; as soon as we find out the outcome of the hearing, as well as when the place might open and what might be on the menu, we will post an update here.

Best Burger Bar first opened in the summer of 2017, taking over the space where the Middle Gray had once been. The dining spot, which focused on burgers and cocktails, shut down toward the end of last year and while it had hoped to reopen at some point, those plans apparently fell through.

The address for the proposed Omori is 6 Station Street, Brookline, MA, 02445.

Thanks to a couple of posters within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page for bringing this to our attention.

[November 18 update: According to a source within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Omori has soft-opened.]

Blossom Bar Is Opening within Sichuan Garden Space in Brookline Village

In late 2015, we reported that one of the best-known bars in the Boston area could be getting a sibling. Now it looks like this is finally about to happen--and the bar now has a name.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Blossom Bar is opening inside Sichuan Garden in Brookline Village, joining The Baldwin Bar and Sichuan Garden II in Woburn along with the original restaurant on Washington Street. A hearing page within the Town of Brookline website hints that the dining area at Sichuan Garden will be rearranged, while a new bar will be constructed within the space and the furniture, floor, and ceiling will be replaced.

If all goes well, the new bar--and the renovated Sichuan Garden--will open in the fall.]

[September 27 update: Boston Magazine mentions (via an Instagram post) that Sichuan Garden in Brookline will temporarily close at the end of business hours on October 1 as renovations get ready to begin, with Ran Duan (who is behind The Baldwin Bar at Sichuan Garden II in Woburn) telling us that Blossom Bar will be within Sichuan Garden, which will remain in operation.]

[December 28 update: An Instagram post gives a sneak peek as to some of the drinks that will be offered at Blossom Bar, including cocktails with names such as Caracas Express, Broken Spanish, Bocadillo Sour, Girl from Ipanema, and Big Sur. (The post also says that the Sichuan Garden/Blossom Bar space will be opening "really really soon.")]

[January 2, 2018 update: Eater Boston states that Blossom Bar opens to the public tomorrow (and is doing a soft opening this evening), and that some of the old favorites from Sichuan Garden--including pork dumplings with chili vinaigrette, dan dan noodles, Chongqinq dry hot chicken, and house special eggplant--will be on the menu.]
