BSB&G Opens In Former Skybox Location

Live acoustic music is planned for tonight

After about a week-long soft opening where the owners gathered customer feedback, BSB&G, the Tewksbury location of Dracut’s popular Brothers Sports Bar & Grill, is officially open. The space has been completely renovated but keeps the main bar configuration and sports bar feel. There was a ribbon cutting today with Select Board members Mark Kratman and Jayne Wellman in attendance.

Work has been ongoing since October to renovate the space at 553 Main St. Seating is now 240, with a bright front dining area that will eventually double as a function space for 80 people. That, along with brunch service on Sundays, is expected this spring.

Running both restaurants is a family affair: Kayla O’Donnell, husband Shane O’Donnell and Peter and Sophia Tsianakas will move back and forth between the locations. Shane says Sophia was a proponent of launching the second location in town.

“We talked about where to expand to, and she just said ‘Tewksbury,'” said O’Donnell.

He added that there will be acoustic music monthly and during brunch, once that service starts.

The plaza is undergoing something of a resurgence, with a new Planet Fitness and Lazy River Cannabis — also a Dracut offshoot — set to open at some point, once CCC approval is secured. There is also a new gym opening across the street with martial arts classes.

The restaurant offers vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free options, and they make their pita in-house. Dining hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, with the bar open late. They are closed on Mondays.

While the Tewksbury menu is somewhat smaller than that at the Dracut location, Kayla O’Donnell says additional items will be added as the kitchen staff comes up to speed.
