"I note that The Bowery Bar opened on July 2 at 2261 Dorchester Ave. in Dorchester’s historic Lower Mills neighborhood, taking over the space left vacant by Ester. The new restaurant, bar, and patio is the latest venue from restaurateur Julian Bolger, who also has stakes in Lucy’s American Tavern and the Punk & Poetin in South Boston. It hasn’t shared a menu on its website or social channels and hasn’t responded to inquiries, but an image from an early Google review suggests large tater tots, a cheese dip, a kale salad, and at least one fruity cocktail, while a Facebook fan mentions crab rangoon. Early Facebook reviews rave about the patio — a main feature of the space when Ester operated there — and the Bowery is open daily from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Terrence Doyle
