THE BARBARA LYNCH COLLECTIVE
DEDICATED TO THE CRAFT OF STORYTELLING
We believe that every great meal is born of a story?a tale that guides the lively give-and-take between lovely food, outstanding drink, delightful hospitality, and the people who come together to relish it all.
The approach to culinary composition is inspired and guided by the foundational narrative of Chef Barbara Lynch. Hard work, unbridled creativity, a passion for discovery, and a love for genuine human connections drive all that we do.
At every Collective restaurant, we take great pride and deep pleasure in creating tasteful and delicious experiences that pique the curiosity of our trusting guests comfortably?with stories that inspire consistently delicious, surprisingly innovative, uniquely modern, and quintessentially Boston dining.
7 Distinct Concepts. One Epic Love Letter to Boston:
B&G Oysters, a modern oyster bar in the South End
?After a tough New England winter, there was nothing I craved more than the mineral tang of oysters and a crisp white wine. As a kid, I didn?t often get oysters without a drive to the North Shore. I wanted to fill that void, to create a casual clam shack with fine-dining-style love and care.?
The Butcher Shop, a neighborhood wine bar in the South End
?On my first trip to Italy, I was inspired by this butchery at the top of a hill. It was a storefront, like a bodega, where a burly butcher would carve meat for the locals. I wanted to bring Italy to Boston with a restaurant, wine bar, and full-time butcher?all under one roof.?
Drink, a craft cocktail bar in Fort Point
?I love the authenticity and camaraderie of dive bars, like the ones I used to hit in Southie. I wanted to offer a similar welcoming vibe, but elevated. Drink is a place where bartender-chefs give a damn about you, the layout sparks conversation, and the food never requires a fork.?
Menton, modern fine dining in Fort Point
?My mother and I used to walk past 354 Congress Street to get a Jordan Marsh blueberry muffin. Bringing Menton to that building was special to me. I wanted to honor my past with inspired Italian and French cuisine, flawless service, and an unparalleled wine program.?
Sportello, a modern interpretation of the classic diner through an Italian lens
?Sportello was inspired by Brigham?s, a soda fountain my mom and I used to go to when I was a kid. The vanilla ice cream was to die for. With Sportello, I wanted the place to feel like a diner, but with the homey comforts of an Italian trattoria.?
No. 9 Park, regionally inspired Italian and French in Beacon Hill
?Opening No.9 Park was a statement moment in my life. The kid from Southie had become a chef. I was determined to open a restaurant on historic Beacon Hill that would be elegant but welcoming, with intuitive service and sophisticated food. 20 years later, we?re still here. ?
Stir, part demonstration kitchen, part cookbook store
?Stir started out as a test kitchen combined with a cookbook store. But it has evolved into an intimate, 10-seat gathering place where chefs can teach from cookbooks and themes, and people can learn about the world through food, wine, and conversation."
