Locals Insider Tip- Request Outdoor Reservations NOW!

With the Downtown Gloucester Block Party approved by the city council, we will have outdoor dining on Main Street the night of August 16th.  There will be live music and dancing and we are working on a spectacular slide show.

If I were you I’d call The Frankin, Passports, La Trattoria, Dogbar, Jalepenos, Valentino’s or The Elliott and request outdoor reservations for that night.  If they tell you they are not accepting reservations for outdoors that night then politely say thanks anyway and call the next place on the list.   I think it’s going to be spectacular and a lot of fun and hopefully the blueprint for having this type of event become a regular part of the Downtown scene.

Here are the telephone numbers-

The Franklin-978.283.7888

Passports-978.281.3680

La Trattoria- 978.281.0790

Dogbar- 978.281.6565

Valentino’s- 978.283.6186

Elliott’s at The Blackburn 978.282.1919
