Well, this is exciting news!
According to Universal Hub, the Boston Licensing Board approved plans by Darryl’s Corner Bar owner Nia Grace to open “a supper club and speakeasy with a full menu” in the Seaport District.
The 166-seat restaurant will feature Southern food and a “Southern take” on New England fare. In the evening, post-dinner, Grace by Nia will transform into a jazz club that features jazz, R+B and soul music. Grace will purchase the liquor license from the now-closed Showplace Icon Theater.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will be taking over the old movie theater spot.
Grace Nia will be located at 60 Seaport Blvd.
