CBS Sporting Club Now Open

FOXBOROUGH, MA — There's a new-look, new menu, and overall new everything for the place that used to be called CBS Scene.

Patriot Place celebrated the grand opening of CBS Sporting Club with a private party Monday night. The new restaurant replaces CBS Scene, which was one of the original restaurants at the lifestyle center.

The restaurant has been completely renovated with a redone floor plan and food offerings. The 6,000-square-foot restaurant includes 290 seats and a 25-foot LED TV that spans across the bar. The outdoor patio area remains.

Big Night Entertainment, which has a portfolio that includes Scorpion Bar at Patriot Place, GEM Italian Kitchen Nightclub in Boston, and Shrine at Foxwoods Casino, is the new operator following conversations with Patriot Place about design and renovation.

"They came up with some really cool concepts which you see here. It's an environment that everyone wants to be in. It's not a sports bar, it's a sports club restaurant and as you can see the finishes are incredible," Brian Earley, the general manager of Patriot Place said. "They blew us away with their other restaurants."

Earley described the food offerings as a gastropub-style menu with something for everyone.

The new restaurant is a one-floor operation, with the former second floor of CBS Scene now dedicated to office space and the bottom level has been turned into a multi-purpose space.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, team president Jonathan Kraft, Foxborough officials, and members of the Big Night Entertainment team were on hand for the ribbon cutting.

CBS Sporting Club will be open to the public for the first time Tuesday.
