Business owner looks to establish ‘Black Cheers’ in Roxbury
Royal Smith always knew he wanted to provide a place for Black Boston to come early and leave late. When he opened District 7 Tavern in 2018, he built a neighborhood bar for the people, with live music, guest bartenders, and plenty of space to watch the big game.
