Cambridge, MA Opening in fall 2024, CanalSide Food + Drink at CambridgeSide, will be an energetic new food hall experience featuring waterfront views, a collection of eateries, and a centrally located bar serving craft cocktails, beer and wine. Featuring fourteen restaurants, from local favorites to new concepts, CanalSide is part of a transformed CambridgeSide offering a whole new shopping and dining experience to visitors. 

Situated in the hub of the vibrant CanalSide, C-Side Bar presents a curated selection of craft cocktails, beer, and wine available to pair with CanalSide’s new eatery options. The new venture is spearheaded by a hospitality group, founded by Boston beverage veterans Ran Duan (of Baldwin Bar & Blossom Bar) and partner Jon Rosse (of Birds of Paradise), alongside Master Sommelier Brahm Callahan (of Grill 23 & Bar). 

“We are pleased to bring C-Side Bar to CanalSide Food + Drink. Our vision is for C-Side to be the heart of the food hall, a welcoming gathering spot and a vibrant new addition to Cambridge’s thriving bar scene. C-Side Bar will offer an exciting beverage menu in a dynamic venue,” said master sommelier Brahm Callahan. 

CanalSide eateries will include anoush’ella, Caffé Nero, Chilacates, DalMoros Fresh Pasta to Go, Fresh, InChu, Lala’s Neapolitan-ish Pizza, Nu Burger, Sapporo Ramen, and Teazzi Tea Shop, with additional announcements coming soon. CanalSide will be serving up cuisines from traditional favorites to trendy new dishes:

“This fall will be an exciting time as CanalSide, a new food hall experience visitors are sure to love, will open as part of CambridgeSide’s redevelopment. CanalSide will offer delicious local food options and refreshing drinks in a beautiful new space offering indoor and outdoor seating areas at our waterfront location. We look forward to announcing additional dining and retail destinations in the coming months,” said Melissa LaVita, regional marketing director for CambridgeSide.

CanalSide was designed by RODE, with construction by Whiting Turner and leasing by New England Development and District Real Estate Advisors. “We teamed with our partners at CambridgeSide to design a distinctive dining environment that builds upon the local natural landscape, reflecting the greenery of Canal Park and the waterfront,” said Ruthie Kuhlman, senior associate at RODE. “With a warm, contemporary design, the many eateries are arranged as a local market with a feature bar as focal point, and the design allows each brand’s unique character to enhance the richness of the experience. A variety of modern furniture options create distinct seating areas that extend outdoors, connecting to the beauty of Canal Park and the Charles River.”
