The Lower Depths Tap Room in Boston's Kenmore Square to Become Poe's Taco Cielo

A pub and beer bar in Boston's Kenmore Square is getting a makeover, and it looks like Mexican street food will be part of the plans.

Boston Magazine is reporting that The Lower Depths Tap Room on Commonwealth Avenue will become what will apparently be known as Poe's Taco Cielo at Lower Depths, with Brian Poe and the Wilcox Hospitality Group (Bukowski Tavern, Tip Tap Room, Parish Cafe) deciding to change the Lower Depths concept. It is not yet known what menu items from The Lower Depths might remain, but Boston Magazine does mention (via a rep for the restaurant group) that a variety of corn and flour tortilla taco options will be offered. A specific opening date has not been given, but it looks like the new concept will debut around the time of the Red Sox home opener next week.

The Lower Depths first opened in 2006, offering such items as tater tots, burgers, hot dogs, and more, along with an extensive beer list.

The address for The Lower Depths (and the upcoming Poe's Taco Cielo) is 476 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215.
