Fort Point’s waterfront is about to get a serious shot of British beef. Hawksmoor, the London-born steakhouse known for dry-aged cuts and martinis served practically straight from the Arctic, is set to open a sprawling new location this fall at 15 Necco. The restaurant will take over the ground floor of the waterfront building, with room for roughly 200 guests inside plus a sizable outdoor terrace looking out over the Fort Point Channel. That means South Boston’s rapidly developing waterfront is about to pick up a Sunday roast destination and a cocktail bar with some real international pedigree, as reported by Time Out.
On its U.S. site, Hawksmoor lists Boston as “Coming Soon” and confirms a Fall 2026 opening at 15 Necco. The company describes the Fort Point spot as its fifteenth restaurant, arriving in the group’s 20th anniversary year, and casting the space as a place built for “long lunches, celebratory dinners, late-night martinis.”
Early local coverage says Boston diners can expect Hawksmoor’s signature steak cuts, rich and indulgent sides, and the brand’s famed Sunday roast at the core of the menu, while the bar will pour Sub-Zero Martinis and Sour Cherry Negronis. Time Out offered one of the first peeks at those Boston-specific details. The bar program arrives with some serious bragging rights: the group’s New York location was named a 2025 James Beard Awards semifinalist for its beverage program, as reported by Eater.
Why Fort Point
Hawksmoor cofounders Will Beckett and Huw Gott did not just throw a dart at a map. They say Fort Point’s mix of old industrial buildings and buzzing waterfront energy felt instantly familiar, reminding them of London’s East End. Beckett told Boston Magazine that the neighborhood’s “soul” and history made it a natural fit for the brand’s relaxed, come-as-you-are style of hospitality.
Sustainability and the Building
Hawksmoor’s new home is not just another glass box on the water. The 15 Necco development was designed with resilience and sustainability front and center and has earned LEED Platinum certification, according to developer National Development. On the restaurant side, Hawksmoor itself is a certified B Corporation, a status recorded on B Lab’s registry that the group points to as part of its broader purpose-driven approach and sourcing commitments.
What This Means For Boston
Boston’s steakhouse scene is already crowded, but Hawksmoor is not exactly trying to blend in. The group brings a distinctly British chophouse style to town: charcoal-cooked, dry-aged beef, a lively bar, and a Sunday roast tradition that turns the weekend into a ritual rather than just another dinner reservation.
Local outlets have suggested that the combination of serious steaks, unpretentious service, and an award-recognized cocktail program is likely to play well on the Fort Point waterfront, where big-ticket restaurants and neighborhood regulars now coexist side by side.
For now, Hawksmoor is still months away from actually firing up the grills. The company is collecting email signups and says more details on the Boston menu and reservation plans will appear on the brand’s U.S. page as the Fall 2026 opening gets closer. Until then, Boston diners at least know when to start plotting that first waterfront martini and where to bring out-of-town guests who insist on a proper Sunday roast.
