A photo sent to us indicates that a sign is up for the place while another sign in the window says that it will feature "authentic fine Chinese cuisine" with pictures of food shown including what look to be soup dumplings. An opening date has not been given as of yet for Gong Palace and Bar, with a note out front simply saying "coming soon."

Commonwealth first opened in 2013, shutting down ten years later in the fall of 2023; Steve Postal (Revival Cafe & Kitchen) was behind the spot.

Third Time Together Is Moving from Brighton to Cambridge's Kendall Square

A local business known in part for its ice cream that opened in Brighton a few months ago is now closed, but it will be relocating to Cambridge.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Third Time Together closed its store at the Charles River Speedway on Western Avenue last month due to negotiations for a longer-term lease not working out, and now it will open in the space on Binney Street in Kendall Square where Earnest Drinks had been until closing in November. The article mentions that the new location will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner while continuing to offer ice cream.

Before debuting in Brighton, Third Time Together had been hoping to open in East Somerville, but that subsequently fell through, leading them to open at the Charles River Speedway instead last September. Founder Nick Ladin-Sienne, had initially brought a temporary location of the place (called Third Time Ice Cream) to Somerville's Bow Market in the fall of 2024.

The address for the new location of Third Time Together in Kendall Square is 399 Binney Street, Cambridge, MA, 02142. Its website is at https://www.thirdtimetogether.co/

[March 4 update: A Bluesky post from @troysch1.bsky.social indicates that Third Time Together has soft-opened in its new location in Kendall Square.]

Earnest Drinks in Cambridge's Kendall Square Has Closed

A combination cafe/bar/ice cream shop in Cambridge has shut down, though a Somerville ice cream shop that is under the same ownership remains in operation.

According to multiple sources, Earnest Drinks in Kendall Square is no longer in business, with its social media indicating that the Binney Street spot had a farewell party this past Saturday evening. A note from the business says the following about the closure (including mentioning that they appear to be making new plans for the space):

We had a tough go of it signing a lease in one world and opening in a completely different one. We opened the doors in the teeth of the pandemic in Sept 2020, scrambling on a new idea every few weeks to keep the lights on. Since we opened, it always felt like we were a few months out from getting our legs underneath us which is an exhausting way to run an enterprise if you can imagine. Additionally, we never quite cracked how to communicate about Earnest Drinks in a way that broke through. Are we a bar? An ice cream shop? A cafe? Yes. We are! Is that scary? No! We're still meeting people who know all about Gracie's, but have never heard of Earnest Drinks. Anyway, for whatever reason, it didn't work and it's time to move on. And we're very excited about what's coming next in the space and will be sharing info on that SOON, but for now, THANK YOU.

The original Gracie's Ice Cream, which first opened in Somerville's Union Square in 2014, remains open for business.

The address for the now-closed Earnest Drinks was 399 Binney Street, Cambridge, MA, 02142.

Cambridge Brewing Company's Taproom in Kendall Square Is Closing

A decades-old brewery known in part for its brewpub and its focus on the local community is shutting down its taproom.

According to its social media, Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Square is going to be closing its doors, with a Facebook post from the place saying the following:

To our dear CBC friends and family, our time is coming to a close. Our last day of service will be Dec. 20th. But what a time it has been!....A heartfelt thank you to all who have participated in our dream. To our customers that have joined us time and again over the years, your support and friendship enabled our success. To all that are working or have worked here, you guys are what made this place so great. What an honor and a joy it has been to work alongside you!....35 years, one hell of a run. Much love, Team CBC

Cambridge Brewing Company debuted in 1989, bringing to the local area a concept that was unique at the time--a place that paired freshly-brewed beers with food items using locally-sourced ingredients--while also being the first commercial brewery in the United States to produce a Belgian-style beer. 

The address for Cambridge Brewing Company is 1 Kendall Square (Building 100), Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at https://www.cambridgebrewingcompany.com/

[December 20 update: The Cambridge Brewing Company taproom indeed closes after business hours today, but as mentioned in a new article, the CBC brand has been purchased by Castle Island Brewing Co., so at least some of their beers will live on.]
