Craft Food Halls has reopened at the Studio Allston hotel on Soldiers Field Road with a promotional “sip and stay” package for hotel guests.
The food hall includes a rotating food menu, self-service alcohol stations and game rooms in a section of the hotel, which is owned by The Davis Companies, operated by Highgate and managed by Spot On Ventures.
The food hall was forced to shutter in 2024 after regulators discovered a discrepancy in records for a liquor license transfer, requiring the hotel to reapply for another license, The Boston Globe reported at the time.
The Studio Allston hotel offers a sip-and-stay promotion that includes a “welcome beer package” and gift card to the food hall, located next to the hotel lobby.
The food hall occupies 5,500 square feet and opens onto a 2,500 square-foot courtyard that hosts events, live music and games.
“Our goal is to build spaces that celebrate people and foster genuine connection. It is a true joy to be part of such a vibrant and creative community, and we look forward to growing alongside our neighbors in Allston/Brighton,” Craft Food Halls Owner and Managing Partner Gardy Desrouleaux said in a statement.
The 1234 Soldiers Field Road property is part of a site approved for a large development that has yet to break ground.
In 2023, the Boston Planning & Development Agency approved The Davis Companies’ plans for a 582,000 square-foot redevelopment of the property and 1240 Soldiers Field Road, including 450 apartments, 93 condominiums and a 195-room hotel.
