A true gem on Dorchester Avenue, the Blarney Stone's loyal guests dine on great cuisine while enjoying modern cocktails and craft beers. Our face may have changed, but our welcoming spirit remains."

Current primary goals are spreading the word about the co-op and involving as many people as possible now, in the beginning stages.

Activities planned for the coming months: location research, a neighborhood resident survey, and completion of feasibility and marketing studies. The community's help and input is essential to move this process forward! The co-op will need a minimum of 500 paid members-owners to break ground.
