The Pine Bar Opens at Boston Public Market - Eater Boston

"The Pine Bar opens at Boston Public Market on June 16, leveling up the downtown destination to allow tourists and locals to sip New England beers and wines, as well as cocktails featuring local liquors, while browsing the market or relaxing on the patio outside. Local restaurateur Philip Frattaroli — whose company the Filmark Hospitality Group is behind restaurants in Boston’s North End (Lucia, Ducali, and more) as well as East Boston’s Cunard Tavern — had just come back from a wedding in Denver when he saw Boston Public Market’s request for bar proposals, and everything fell into place. The Pine Bar is focused on highlighting the best of New England, from small liquor brands around the region to dairy, juices, and other ingredients coming right from other market vendors. That means the menu will rotate a lot depending on the season, says head bartender Joe Camiolo, who came over from sibling spot Cunard Tavern to run the Pine Bar. The bar's debut feels like a triumph for Boston Public Market as it bounces back from two-plus difficult years as the pandemic turned downtown Boston into a ghost town." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
