Whiskey Priest, Atlantic Beer Garden Tapped for New Development Site

Booming development in the Seaport District may lead to the ousting of two popular waterfront restaurants, according to The Boston Globe. A 22-story complex was proposed for the site where Whiskey Priest and Atlantic Beer Garden currently stand.

The Globe reported that a developer, Jon Cronin, filed with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to build a 250-foot-tall residential tower at 50 Seaport Blvd. The developer's Cronin Group (which is also behind those two restaurants) awaits approval for the structure, and could start construction in 2017 with a planned opening for 2019.

The first level appears to be zoned for restaurant and retail space, according to Boston Restaurant Talk.
