FollowAbout
Blondie's is a high?energy neighborhood bar and restaurant on Western Avenue in Brighton/Lower Allston from Sneaky Good Hospitality (the team behind Pinky’s and Rock & Rye). Opened in 2024 in the former Article 24 space, it features flashy, party-ready decor and a downstairs lounge that hosts weekly happenings like karaoke and boozy bingo, across from the Charles River Speedway. The menu leans toward chef-driven “street food” and playful cocktails that keep a lively late?night crowd.
