BBQ, Brewery, Biergarten Opening In New Haven

NEW HAVEN, CT — Bear's Restaurant Group will open "The Stack" within the next few weeks at 470 James Street in New Haven, which is the former CT Transit bus garage site

The restaurant group also owns Bear's Smokehouse BBQ in Windsor, Hartford and South Windsor, Blind Pig Pizza in Hartford and Chango Rosa in Hartford.

"New Haven has been generating so much buzz for its vibrant food scene, so it was the obvious next step for the expansion of Bear’s Restaurant Group,” said Jamie “The Bear” McDonald, Co-Owner, Bear’s Restaurant Group. “We will be bringing all of our barbeque favorite to this new location – pulled pork, brisket, ribs and “moink balls” – with a really unique twist – our own, in-house beer brewery and Biergarten."

They will partner with Jason Sobocinski who has been in the New Haven restaurant scene for some time. He will also help with the brewery portion of the business.

The restaurant will be 6,700 square feet with seating for 200 patrons. The partially covered biergarten will have space for another 250 people. House fire pits and heaters will make it a year-round destination.
