"We are focused on the craft beer movement that is happening in New England, in this region," one of the owners, Brian Zarthar said. "And realistically, 10 years ago, we probably couldn’t have done this because a lot of these breweries didn’t exist yet."

Craft beer from New England breweries will be available, as well as cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic options.
Zarthar's family has a long history with the Mystic Avenue area, and he's hoping the new business will give the stretch momentum to reinvent itself.
"I'm excited to open and see what happens to this area because I think this is going to transform Mystic Ave almost overnight," Zarthar said. "After we open I see housing, high end restaurants, shopping. There's this beautiful street, Mystic Ave that has so much potential, and I would love it to be this corridor into Boston."
The space will also host private events. The goal is to open mid-July.
