Company InformationBoston based Lyons Group is an eclectic collection of creative food, beverage, and entertainment destinations assembled and operated over the past 35 years.

Specializing in concept development, design, construction, and marketing, the company has had a long term successful relationship with a variety of guests and locations.

What began as an entertainment company with dance clubs and production of 300 plus live shows annually, we morphed in the 90's into themed restaurants.

Along the way, we were part of the group that brought the Hard Rock Cafe (east of Mississippi) to the USA from London. We were also co-creators of the house of blues brand which began in Harvard Square and continued with our involvement for the first four units. Today LG has a variety of operations in 6 states, including free-standing, hotel, and casino operations.

Our hands-on experience in development and operations sets us apart from most. In house purchasing, social media, culinary, and best in class management training contribute to our strength as an organization. Long term commitment to our people makes us a unique operator of a variety of concepts from the iconic Newbury Street Sonsie to James Beard award driven Scampo.
