(Feb. 26, 2015) Cambridge oyster and wine bar Leaky Pete’s is opening a second location, this time in Worcester County.
The restaurant will replace Tex Mex and Country Cook’n on 119 Main Street in downtown Berlin.
“We have our lease deal signed and we’re waiting on the liquor license approval, which should happen March 18,” owner Terry Feehley said. “I believe I’m going to take possession of the building on the 20th and we’re going to open sometime in mid-April.”
While the original Cambridge location has a lively pub feel and stays open until 2 a.m., Feehley said the Berlin branch would feature a more casual atmosphere.
“It’s going to be more of a restaurant feel with a 10 or 11 o’clock close with casual dining,” he said. “It’ll be an oyster bar and chop house. We’re going to have steaks and different seafood, a fresh fish program with rib eyes, pork chops and lamb chops. That kind of stuff.”
Feehley plans to bring a few employees from the Cambridge location, but will largely staff the restaurant with local workers. He anticipates having to make only minor cosmetic changes to the building before opening.
