"dbar is Dorchester's premiere destination for fine dining, delicious cocktails and exciting nightlife.

Open 7 days a week, dbar is a full service restaurant that seamlessly transforms into a nightclub and lounge as the night goes on.

The unique and classy menu inspired by Executive Chef Christopher Coombs changes with the seasons and features the finest and freshest available ingredients throughout the New England area. Most of the menu takes a French twist, but also contains an assortment of comfort foods (such as our famous Veal & Pancetta Bolognaise) and old favorites (like our simple yet delicious Giannone Chicken Under a Brick.)

Looking for the perfect cocktail? From espresso martinis to a fine glass of Bordeaux, dbar caters to all tastes. The eclectic martini list will excite and gratify while our selection of over 200 bottles of wine will far exceed your expectations."

The LIFE Study Seeks Senior Volunteers (ages 70-89)

Seniors! Do you have difficulty walking, getting in and out of a chair, or climbing stairs? If you have some trouble with these or other daily activities and are between the ages of 70 and 89, you may qualify for The LIFE Study at Tufts University.

The goal of The LIFE Study is to find out how older people can make changes in their lives to help them to remain independent members of their communities for a longer period of time. Eligible participants will be randomized into one of two lifestyle interventions consisting of either a structured physical activity program or a health education program.

Eligible participants can choose to attend their intervention sessions in either downtown Boston at the Tufts University campus and nearby Boston Young Men’s Christian Union gymnasium or at Dorchester House Multi-Service Center (1353 Dorchester Avenue). Transportation options are available as needed. Study participants will receive monetary compensation for their time when screening and follow-up clinic visits are completed.

For more information, please call 1-800-738-7555, write life-volunteers@tufts.edu, or visit www.thelifestudy.org/enroll.
