Beer hall/garden slated for the old Boylston Street Tasty Burger in the Fenway

The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans by Cisco Brewers to turn the old Tasty Burger on Boylston Street in the Fenway into a year round beer hall and its parking lot into a seasonal beer garden with live entertainment.

The chain, which started on Nantucket, has a seasonal beer garden in the Seaport.

Cisco Brewers attorney Dennis Quilty said that between April and mid-October, a stage in the parking lot - facing Fenway Park - would offer live music until 8 p.m., with piped-in music until 10:30 p.m.

Between October and April, the parking lot would revert to a parking lot for people looking to quaff a brew inside the restaurant building, which most recently and briefly served as the home of a failed deli.

The property is owned by Samuels and Associates, a developer that has been redeveloping parts of the area around Fenway Park.

Some nearby residents and property owners, including Audrey Epstein Reny, owner of the 342-unit Viridian apartment building, said they were not opposed to the general idea of a Cisco Brewers, but worried about possible noise from the performances.

"The majority of our residents are medical professionals, who go to bed early," she said.

Quilty said the Seaport beer garden has operated for seven years without issue, but said residents who do feel put upon by noise would be able to complain to the Boston Licensing Board, which also has to approve the proposal.
