730 Tavern Kitchen & Patio
American · Central Square · Since 2017
Chef-owner: Deneir Rosa and Davidson Bettero · Opened 2017
Opened August 24, 2017 by former Tavern in the Square chef Davidson Bettero and Deneir Rosa, after TiTS Central closed in July 2017. Kept the same footprint and turned it into an owner-operator sports bar — Bettero was still in the kitchen most weekends as of 2024.
$15–$30 per person
Central Square neighborhood sports bar in the former Tavern in the Square space — opened by chef Davidson Bettero, who ran Tavern in the Square's kitchen, and Deneir Rosa. 10 rotating draft lines, 45 bottled beers, a patio, and the kind of Saturday brunch that draws a line.
