Republic May Be Coming to South Boston

It looks like a new restaurant could be coming to South Boston, and it is hoping to get its liquor license from a well-known Back Bay eatery that closed a year and a half ago.

According to a Licensing Board page within the City of Boston website, a dining spot that is tentatively called Republic is planning to open on Dorchester Street, with the address indicating (via an earlier article from boston.com) that it would be located on the ground floor of a new residential development a few blocks north of Broadway. The hearing page mentions that Republic is seeking a transfer of a liquor license from Charley's Eating & Drinking Saloon, a Newbury Street restaurant that shut down in September of 2012. It appears that plans for the new spot in Southie may include a seasonal atrium lounge and bar along with a seasonal patio, though little else is known about it at this point in time.

The address for this proposed restaurant in South Boston is: Republic, 11 Dorchester Street, South Boston, MA, 02127.
