Nantucket-based brewery Cisco Brewers is in the middle of planning to expand to a new site behind Fenway Park.
The beer producer, which was founded in 1995, already operates beer gardens in Boston’s Seaport neighbourhood and in New Bedford which are popular with beer lovers.
In a new move to boost business further, Cisco Brewers has now gained approval to open an indoor beer hall and outdoor beer garden on Boylston Street behind Fenway Park, where Red Sox fans will be spending time for pre- and post-match beers.
According to local reports, the converted gas station location will soon see Cisco Brewers adapt t the venue to operate a year-round restaurant and a seasonal beer garden from April to October with both spaces also hosting live entertainment.
Boston’s Zoning Board of Appeal approved the brewery’s plan during its 25 February meeting, with the plan now only needing the approval of the Boston Licensing Board to go ahead.
According to the plans, live entertainment will end by 8pm and the sound system will be designed to steer noise away from residential buildings in the area.
Speaking at the meeting, Cisco attorney Dennis Quilty assured attendees and those who had tuned in that "this is a spot that has been a restaurant and used for this purpose for many, many years, and we fully believe we can operate safely and carefully in the neighbourhood".
