Banners Kitchen & Tap Will Have a Cocktail Program of Champions

“Certified drinks celebrity Jackson Cannon…has developed the cocktail program for Banners Kitchen & Tap, a new place on track to open in mid-October at the Hub on Causeway. The development, led by TD Garden owner Delaware North and Boston Properties, includes several exciting new dining and nightlife options.

Banners is the flagship, sports bar-like concept, a sprawling project with nearly 600 seats, dozens of TVs, and 60 draft lines, across 25,000 square feet at 82 Causeway St. Built on the footprint of the bygone Boston Garden…

Patina Restaurant Group has hired Cannon in an open-ended consulting role with Banners, their second Boston venture. 

Cannon met Patina Group’s Boston director of operations, Don Bailey, a decade ago… They reconnected when Bailey, a Southie native, moved back to town to help Patina lead their Hub on Causeway projects.

Patina “has intended to elevate Boston’s idea of a ‘sports bar’…to do something really cool and interesting, and at a certain scale…”

Banners has a whopping 575 seats, including a 30-seat main bar, three private suites for playing the immersive social game Topgolf, and the 90-seat Blades & Boards, which has its own menus…Patina has also invested in two cocktail-dedicated tap lines, which are part of the largest system ever built by local company Modern Draught."
