Cure Lounge to Open in the Basement of Boston's Wilbur Theatre

It appears that a new nightclub and lounge is going to be opening in the heart of the Theatre District sometime next year.

According to posts on the EveryBlock Boston site, the Cure Lounge is looking to open in the basement of the Wilbur Theatre on Tremont Street (at the Stuart Street intersection). Sneak peeks of the new spot are apparently being given this fall, with one coming up for Harvard and Yale grad students later this month. The Eventbrite post for this particular event mentions that the Cure Lounge will be opening in 2011.

The Wilbur Theatre was built around the start of World War I nearly 100 years ago, with renovations being done to the place in 2008. Currently, the theatre features comedy shows and live music.

The address for this upcoming club in the Theatre District of Boston will be: Cure Lounge, 246 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02116.

Snappy Sushi Moving into the Former Tealuxe Space in Boston's Back Bay

A Japanese restaurant with locations in Somerville and Boston's Back Bay is moving its Back Bay restaurant into the space where a tea shop used to be.

According to a couple of followers of ours on the hiddenboston Twitter page (including abbeytv.com), Snappy Sushi is planning to open at 108 Newbury Street where Tealuxe was until closing over the summer. This is a move rather than a third restaurant; Snappy Sushi's current Back Bay location is at 144 Newbury Street (early 2011 Ed note: the location at 144 Newbury Street is now closed).

[February 24, 2011 update: According to the Linear Retails Property Facebook page, Snappy Sushi opens today in its new location at 108 Newbury Street.]

Snappy Sushi, which first opened its two spots in 2008, features a variety of sushi items, as well as some salad options.

The website for both locations of Snappy Sushi can be found at: http://www.snappysushi.com/

Slainte in South Boston to Become Owl Station Bar and Bistro

It looks like a new Japanese restaurant is coming to South Boston, and it will be replacing a bar that is across the street from the Broadway T station.

According to Boston.com, the owner of Slainte on West Broadway has been given approval to sell his liquor license to the owner of an upcoming dining spot called Owl Station Bar and Bistro. The article states that the new restaurant, which will move into the Slainte space, is planning on opening in January of 2011.

[July 6, 2011 update: According to UrbanDaddy, Owl Station Bar and Bistro is now open. (Note that the name is Owl Station Bar and Bistro, not Station Bar and Bistro, as had previously been thought.) UrbanDaddy also mentions that the new restaurant is an Asian bistro that features small plates.]

In addition to Slainte, the space that Owl Station Bar and Bistro is looking to move into has been the site of other dining and drinking establishments, including Six House and Triple O's.

The address for this new Japanese restaurant in South Boston is: Owl Station Bar and Bistro, 28 West Broadway, South Boston, MA, 02127.

For more information on the opening of Station Bar and Bistro, please go to the Boston.com link below.
