Panda Express Is Opening at South Bay in Dorchester

[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect the fact that the restaurant will not actually be taking over the Wahlburgers space as was originally thought; thanks to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page for bringing this to our attention.]

A chain of fast-food restaurants that focuses on Chinese fare is opening just off the Expressway.

According to a message sent from Adam Gaffin of Universal Hub, Panda Express is planning to open at South Bay in Dorchester, while a licensing board voting agenda page mentions that the upcoming location is slated to have seating for more than 60, though it doesn't look like there will be any outdoor seating.

The Chester Tavern Is Opening in Dorchester's Savin Hill Area

[Ed note: This article was updated to reflect a proposed name change for the upcoming place.]

It looks like people behind a pair of dining and drinking spots known for their comfort food and beer options will be opening a new restaurant, and this one will reside in a Boston neighborhood a bit south of downtown.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, a new restaurant tentatively being seen as a third location of the Five Horses Tavern team is looking to open in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester, moving into a space on Dorchester Avenue just south of the Savin Hill Avenue intersection. This jibes with an earlier article from the Boston Business Journal which first mentioned the plans, while the hearing notice states that the space would include a main dining area and a bar area, and it looks like an outdoor patio may be part of the plans as well. If approved, the new restaurant would join locations of Five Horses Tavern in Somerville's Davis Square and Boston's South End.

The address for the new restaurant in Savin Hill is 1121 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125.

[May 12 update: The Dorchester Reporter confirms what we had heard a couple of weeks ago, that the new place coming to Savin Hill will be called The Chester Tavern instead of Five Horses Tavern, and it appears to be on the verge of opening. Its website can be found at https://www.thechestertavern.com/]

[June 16 update: An article from boston.com mentions that The Chester Tavern is now open.]

Dorchester Brewing Company Is Ceasing Contract Brewing Operations; Brewery, Taproom, Restaurant, and Rooftop Greenhouse Will Remain Open

A well-known local brewery is shutting down a segment of its operations, though the business itself will remain in place.

According to a Twitter/X post from @Bo_Dubya, Dorchester Brewing Company is going to be ceasing its contract brewing operations, with Will Durgin of the Massachusetts Avenue brewery saying the following on LinkedIn:

Hey folks, I'm sad to announce that Dorchester Brewing will be winding down contract brewing operations over the next three months. There are many excellent people working here now who will need new jobs. If you need skilled and motivated brewers, cellarpersons, packaging operators, or any other brewery staff I likely know someone who will be a great candidate and you should reach out. I'd love to help these folks find their next gig. And then there's me. I plan on staying on until we cease contract operations on 1/31/25, but will need something to do after that. If you know of a role I might be well-suited for I would love to hear about it.

Dorchester Brewing Company, which first opened in 2016, is known in part for its taproom and rooftop greenhouse, while also including a restaurant and a game room.

The address for Dorchester Brewing Company is 1250 Massachusetts Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125. Its website can be found at https://www.dorchesterbrewing.com/

New Plans in Place to Open The Nightly in Dorchester's Savin Hill Neighborhood

A few years ago, it was reported that a restaurant may be on its way to a Dorchester space that includes a grocery store, and now we have learned that this will still be happening, though with a different setup than originally thought.

According to an article in the Dorchester Reporter, the owners of The Daily Market in Savin Hill have proposed new plans to open The Nightly within the Savin Hill Avenue space, and while the original plans were to have the dining spot set up in the basement, it now looks like the restaurant will take up the second floor while the third floor will also be used for dining as well as functions, and the basement will be used for storage/prep while also possibly including a takeout area. (The second and third floors will also have bars as well as terraces with outdoor dining.)

The article mentions that The Nightly--which will feature dishes with Italian influences--will open the third floor first, followed by the second floor, and The Daily Market will remain in place on the ground floor.

The address for The Daily Market (and the upcoming Nightly) is 110 Savin Hill Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125. The website for the market is at https://thedaily-market.com/
