City Works Eatery & Pour House To Open In Watertown

WATERTOWN, MA — City Works Eatery & Pour House will celebrate its grand opening next week, four months later than planned. The coronavirus pandemic and restaurant shutdowns delayed the original grand opening.

Located at 91 Arsenal Yards Blvd. City Eatery & Pour House is set to open at 4 p.m. on Wednesday for the first time. City Works was scheduled to open its doors in Watertown on March 13 after its First Draft soft opening event raised $4,338 for the Greater Boston Food Bank.

“It’s so exciting to be able to officially open our doors, bring our employees back on, and begin serving our guests in Watertown, safely and in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and our local authorities,” says Angela Zoiss, Vice President of Marketing for Bottleneck Management. “We are ecstatic to be able to finally build a connection with the local community and do what we do best.”

After conducting a survey to guests to gather feedback on their comfort level returning to the restaurant, Bottleneck Management and the City Works team have implemented new measures to ensure the safety of guests and all employees. These new procedures include mandating employees to wear masks and wash their hands every 30 minutes, setting up hand sanitizing stations throughout the restaurant and patio, scheduling sanitization of all shared surfaces every 30 minutes, limiting physical contact and touchpoints, and maintaining proper social distancing guidelines. Bottleneck Management has also created a new staff position, the Shift Safety Manager, to ensure protocol is being followed by all staff.

The restaurant offers classic American food with an expansive beer list. The restaurant will be open Monday through Thursday from 4-10 p.m., Friday from 11:30 a.m. -11 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m.-11 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m.-9 p.m
