Black Bamboo pairs a sushi bar with a lounge in the West End
Boston's West End has a new night out. Black Bamboo announced its soft opening on its own Instagram page in October, and the restaurant's own site at 57 Canal Street sums up the concept in four words: "Two worlds. One experience." One side is Asian fusion cuisine with a sushi bar, built on artistry and precision. The other side is a lounge bar made for sipping, socializing, and celebrating.
The restaurant calls itself an eat-tertainment venue, and its site puts the mission in capital letters: Boston needed a daily eat-tertainment venue, so they built one. The sushi dining room serves Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 9:30 p.m. The lounge and bar stay open Sunday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday nights the lounge pours until 2:00 a.m.
