Citizen Cider’s Press House Pub opened on Saturday, October 11, in the restaurant’s new home at 180 Flynn Avenue in Burlington. The cidery announced the move in the spring, citing the end of its lease on Pine Street and a desire to consolidate operations under one roof. The original pub closed its doors in April, but permitting delays pushed the new spot back several months from its targeted June opening, the team explained on social media.
Now, the pub is open daily for lunch and dinner, serving appetizers, salads, wraps and smash burgers from an indoor food-truck kitchen. The menu describes the offerings as “inspired by cider hot spots” around the country, including New England, New York, Virginia, the Midwest and the West Coast. Cider flights, draft pours, cans and cocktails are available at the large horseshoe bar, along with beer and mocktails.
In Randolph, small-plates restaurant and cocktail bar Short Notice has announced its upcoming closure at the end of the month. Randi Taylor and Lucas Battey opened in June 2023, serving a “world-traveling, shareable menu” that made the most of seasonal ingredients with playful flavors, including a memorable pretzel bread pudding, Seven Days wrote that fall.
“Owning a restaurant here has been extremely rewarding and also extremely difficult,” Taylor and Battey wrote in their announcement on social media. “We have loved creating this restaurant and sharing this experience with all of you, however we are ready to move onto new things.” Short Notice’s last day is Sunday, October 26.
