A new bar and lounge where customers can cook their own food is coming to Boston's Back Bay, and it is connected (both literally and figuratively) to a well-known restaurant with a somewhat similar concept.

Boston Magazine is reporting that Jim Miller and Rafael Barbosa of Fire + Ice on Berkeley Street are opening Underfire, a dining and drinking spot that will be under Fire + Ice within the same building. (Other locations of Fire + Ice can be found in Cambridge, Providence, and Anaheim, CA.) The article says that the new spot--which will have room for 80 people--will feature lava rock cooking, with diners searing such items as steak, scallops, and tuna on 600-degree stones, and it will also offer tacos, build-your-own-burgers, and bar snacks.

If all goes as planned, Underfire will open on April 18, according to Boston Magazine.

[April 20 update: Underfire is not yet open, but it looks like a soft opening will be taking place later this week.]

[April 24 update: A note from Foodservice East indicates that Underfire is now open.]

The address for this new spot in the Back Bay is: Underfire, 205 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA, 02116.

There are a lot of great reasons to make your own soda syrup. You can use real sugar, rather than the HFCS devil that lurks in most bottles. You can make flavors that make you happy, from real seasonal ingredients with complexity and intensity, and you can use up excesses of things in your fridge like, say, the time you assumed strawberries being on sale meant that you were going to eat a few pounds of them before they went bad. You can use the syrup as a foundation for cocktails, because it’s Friday and baby, you’ve earned it, and you can package bottles up as gifts for friends, because you’re just that awesome of a person.
