Davis 'Not Lansdowne Street'; A Steakhouse for Burlington

DAVIS SQUARE — While earlier reports indicated that a chain called World of Beer was eyeing the Social Security building in Davis Square, now it appears that Beer Works (as in Boston Beer Works and others) is looking at the space. But the Board of Aldermen isn't really into the idea, and a license commission hearing has been postponed so the community can discuss the proposal first. [Somerville Patch]
