Rapscallion Brick Oven Pizza & Brewery in Lawrence
Rapscallion, the Spencer-based microbrewery, bar, and restaurant with locations throughout Central Massachusetts, has opened its fourth location, this time in Lawrence.
The new Lawrence opening comes on top of efforts to open a fifth location at 22 South St. in Hopkinton in early fall.
Situated at 56 Island St. in the historic mill town of Lawrence, Rapscallion Brick Oven Pizza & Brewery opened its doors on June 17. Offering its titular brick oven pizza along with sandwiches, wraps, and salad bowls in a casual, informal setting, the restaurant offers wine, canned hard spirits, and beer, including those brewed on-site.
In addition to its new Lawrence location, Rapscallion operates a table and tap in Acton, a brewery and taproom in Spencer, and a pub in Sturbridge.
Rapscallion’s Lawrence eatery is opened in a three-floor facility, under the Essex Art Center on the third floor and a black box theater on the third. The three will collaborate on events going forward, said Peter Daniel, who owns Rapscallion along with his twin brother Cedric Daniel.
“There's a real sense of community, which has really been our ethos, Cedric and I over the 20 years of being in this business,” said Daniel.
The new location also features a performance area large enough to fit between 75 and 100 guests where the 56 Island St. tenants will host local musicians, comedians, and community shows.
“We want to try to make an impact in your own little circle as best [we] can. So that's the communities that we operate in,” said Peter Daniel.
Rapscallion’s new Lawrence location is open from 4-10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, noon to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and noon to 9.p.m on Sundays.
“Rapscallion is looking forward to being a part of the greater Lawrence community. We think our hospitality model of customer service, hand brewed craft beers and made from scratch foods will be a nice addition to an already vibrant and diverse area,” Daniel wrote to WBJ.
