Basho to Open at 1330 Boylston in Boston's Fenway Neighborhood

It appears that a new Japanese restaurant will be opening next spring in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston. According to a press release on the Fenway Triangle site, Basho will open at 1330 Boylston, a mixed-use building that includes luxury apartments as well as retail space on the ground floor. The press release mentions that the person behind this modern Japanese dining spot is also the owner of Douzo, an upscale Japanese restaurant and lounge on Dartmouth Street in the Back Bay.

Basho will most likely feature a sushi bar, a grill bar, and a raw bar, as well as a lounge, based on information given in the press release. The space in which Basho will reside looks to be fairly large (a little under 5,500 square feet).

1330 Boylston is also home to a location of the Upper Crust Pizzeria, and may also include a gastropub called The Citizen at some point in the future.

The address for this upcoming Japanese restaurant in the Fenway neighborhood will be: Basho, 1330 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02215.

Two More Possible Boston Restaurant Openings: Whiskey Priest, The Citizen

A couple more restaurants may be coming to Boston, though it appears that both places are in the very early stages of planning, with little or no information on either one at this point.

The first restaurant (and bar), tentatively called The Whiskey Priest, looks like it may open at some point at 150 Northern Avenue in the Seaport District of Boston. This happens to be the current address of the Seaport Bar and Grille, but it is not known whether The Whiskey Priest will eventually take over a section of this dining spot or whether it may actually replace it.

The second restaurant may go by the name The Citizen: An American Gastropub, with its tentative location at 1330 Boylston Street in the heart of the Fenway neighborhood of Boston (just south of Fenway Park). 1330 Boylston is a mixed-use complex with luxury apartments as well as retail space on the ground floor (a location of the Upper Crust Pizzeria is in the building).

As we receive more information on The Whiskey Priest and The Citizen, we will post updates here, so keep checking back over the coming weeks.

Thanks to the EveryBlock Boston website for bringing both of these places to our attention.
