It looks like yet another old-school Boston bar could be torn down and replaced with condos.
According to an article from Universal Hub, developers have filed plans to demolish the Lincoln Bar and Grill and an office building next to it and build a new structure that would include 82 condominiums. The Lincoln Street watering hole first opened in early 2014, replacing a dive bar called Hogan's Run which had been in business for more than 30 years.
If the plans are approved and the Lincoln Bar and Grill does disappear, it would be one of a number of neighborhood bars in Boston to shut down over the past several years, including the Castlebar in Brighton, Dempsey's in Hyde Park, the Williams Tavern, Aces High, the Cornerstone Pub, Kiley's, and the Quencher Tavern in South Boston, Centre Bar and the Lower Mills Pub in Dorchester, and the West Roxbury Pub in West Roxbury.
The address for the Lincoln Bar and Grill is 8 Lincoln Street, Brighton, MA, 02135.

Chicken & Rice Guys Food Trucks Return to the Road
Earlier this year, a local group of food trucks and brick-and-mortar restaurants shut down after several cases of E. coli were reported, though the restaurants soon reopened while the trucks remained off the road. Now we have learned that the trucks are back in business.
According to an article from Eater Boston, the Chicken & Rice Guys are up and running once again, approximately a half year after being shut down along with their restaurants in downtown Boston, Allston, and Medford, which reopened in late April (a couple of weeks after the outbreak). The post mentions that new cleanliness protections are now in place for the trucks, including the use of antibacterial lights that show any possible surface contamination.
EB says that the Chicken & Rice Guys trucks are in Boston and Burlington starting this week.

Mooyah Burgers, Fries and Shakes Is Opening in Ziti's Italian Express Location in Downtown Boston
A small but growing Texas-based burger chain is going to be opening its second location in Boston--and this one will replace an Italian eatery in the downtown area.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes is planning to open on Tremont Street (across from Boston Common) in the Ziti's Italian Express space, with the locations page on the chain's website confirming that it is indeed "coming soon." Once it opens, the new location of Mooyah will join another spot on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain as well as others in Billerica and Northborough. (Another outlet on the Hudson/Berlin line will also be opening at some point. [Ed note--now open.])
In late 2015, we had mentioned that Mooyah was planning to open approximately 20 locations in the Greater Boston area over the next several years, though it is not known if these plans are still in place.
Ziti's Italian Express first opened in March of 2015, replacing an outlet of UBurger.
The address for this new burger spot in downtown Boston is: Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes, 140 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, 02111. The website for the chain can be found at http://www.mooyah.com/
[December 21 update: Eater Boston states that Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes is now open in downtown Boston.]
[December 26 update: QSR mentions that this is only a soft opening of Mooyah in downtown Boston, with a grand opening taking place over the coming weeks.]

Eugene O'Neill's in Jamaica Plain Has Closed
A laid-back Irish pub and restaurant in Jamaica Plain has very quietly shut down.
According to a tweet from @john_godfrey, Eugene O'Neill's in the Forest Hills section of JP is no longer in business, with a sign out front showing that the space is now for lease. A Twitter reply from @02130News confirms its closure, saying that a person at Napper Tandy's in Roslindale (which is under the same ownership) mentioned that the dining and drinking spot has been closed since Saturday.
Eugene O'Neill's first opened its doors in September of 2012, moving into the space where Griffin's Cafe had once been. In addition to its connection with Napper Tandy's in Roslindale, it was also affiliated with other Napper Tandy's pubs in Norwood, Millis, and Walpole.
The address for this now-closed pub in Jamaica Plain was: Eugene O'Neill's, 3700 Washington Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. The website for the Napper Tandy's pubs can be found at http://nappertandyspubs.com/

A new spot that features food, drink, and "escape rooms" is on its way to a mixed-use development north of Boston.
According to its website, Skeleton Key is planning to open at MarketStreet Lynnfield, with the place being "part bar & lounge and part museum-of-curiosities," offering physical adventure games where groups of players try to solve a series of puzzles before time runs out.

Honeygrow to Bring Minigrow Concept to Boston
As reported earlier, a Philadelphia-based group of dining spots specializing in stir-fry dishes has expanded to Boston, and now it will be bringing a new concept to the local area as well.
According to an article in philly.com, the Honeygrow chain is introducing Minigrow this month, with one location of the place coming to Boston along with others in Manhattan and Chicago. The post says that Minigrow will feature a more streamlined menu than Honeygrow while also having an assembly-line system of preparing meals for customers, and the restaurants will use a combi oven (which is a variant of a convection oven), allowing the new concept to open in locations that don't require hoods and outside ventilation systems. (Because of the lack of an extensive ventilation system, the noodle-based dishes offered at Minigrow will not be stir-fried as they are at Honeygrow.)
Currently, one location of Honeygrow can be found in the local area--on Boylston Street in the Fenway--while a second location plans to open in the Seaport District later this month.
