Ginger Man taps Fort Point again

A New York tavern boasting 70 taps and 160 varieties of bottled beer has its second lease in as many years for a spot in South Boston's Fort Point neighborhood.

Bob Precious, owner of The Ginger Man, this time wants to move into a 6,000-square-foot space at the back of 374 Congress St., which opens onto Boston Wharf Road.

The hope is for an actual opening this time around, after neighborhood opposition sank plans in 2012 for The Ginger Man to open on nearby Farnsworth Street.

The Boston Licensing Board will consider the company's request for a liquor license transfer and 2 a.m. closing next week.

"We do have a signed lease, but you never know unless the liquor license goes through," said Dave Urbanos, an owner representative. "The sticking point before — and it still is — is we want a 2 a.m. license."

This time, The Ginger Man's proposed home is "further away from all the apartments and the people who had an issue with us going into (the Farnsworth Street) space," Urbanos said.

"It's on the edge of what Fort Point is now because on the other side of the street, it's parking." he said. "There's new places in the neighborhood that have gotten liquor licenses. We're hoping for the best."

The Ginger Man is named after the 1955 J.P. Donleavy novel set in post-World War II Ireland that chronicles the misadventures of Sebastian Dangerfield, a young American cad studying at Dublin's Trinity College. The New York bar is on East 36th St. in Murray Hill.

The Hub location would have a broader menu, because the space allows for a bigger kitchen.

"We want to do a lot of house-made sandwiches, cook our own meats, make our own bread — more of the farm-to-table-type of thing," Urbanos said.
