Proposal Being Looked at That Could Affect Joe's American Bar & Grill on the Boston Waterfront

A couple of years ago, it was reported that an investment firm purchased property along the Boston waterfront and that it was looking at a "complex redevelopment plan" that could affect a popular restaurant along the water. Now we have learned that the plans could involve actually replacing that dining spot.

NorthEndWaterfront.com is reporting (via a concept plan page from the company) that Tavistock is looking to construct an inn and a restaurant at Commercial Wharf by Christopher Columbus Park at the southern edge of the North End, with the plan being to replace the building in which Joe's American Bar & Grill is housed while also replacing a "partly burned" building at the site (the building was hit by a fire in 2011). The plan does not say which building would be used for the inn and which would be used for the restaurant, though it does give a bit more information on the site itself, saying that the redevelopment plans include a new pedestrian Harborwalk that would go the entire length of the pier.

The Tavistock Restaurant Collection, which is part of the Tavistock Group, operates Joe's American Bar & Grill.
