A planned East Boston bar is pairing its cowboy theme with a purpose beyond a night out. The Spur, preparing to open at 34 Maverick Square, intends to support animal-rescue organizations through part of its proceeds.

An official opening date has not been announced. The plans would bring live music and a new business into the former Eddie C’s space, with the owners describing animal welfare as part of the venue’s purpose from the outset.

A broad welcome

The Spur’s official website presents a cowboy-bar identity while emphasizing that the musical atmosphere is not limited to country. The owners describe a welcome for people with different backgrounds, professions and tastes, including locals and visitors.

The site confirms the Maverick Square address and links to the bar’s Instagram account, @SpurBoston, for updates. Its description favors a relaxed atmosphere over elaborate decorations or specialty-drink spectacle, and presents music, hospitality and support for good causes as the combination the owners want to build.

The rescue connection

Patch’s September 29 report describes animal rescue as a significant part of the business. It links the idea to manager Joseph Skoczylas’ experience adopting dogs and working with rescue horses, and identifies Corinne Balesano as a co-owner.

According to Patch’s September 29 report, Skoczylas adopted a pit bull named Ghost approximately eight years ago and later helped care for and train rescue horses. He and Balesano also adopted Zero, a dog rescued in Texas with help from Paws Saving Paws. The bar plans to accept direct rescue donations as well as contribute proceeds.

The giving program remains a plan as the business prepares to open. Readers interested in that mission can ask the owners which organizations will receive support and how donations will be handled. Those details will give patrons a clearer picture of where their participation goes.

What comes next

The Spur Bar LLC received approval to take over the former Eddie C’s seven-day all-alcohol license. Patch reports a roughly 1,650-square-foot premises with one main room, a 14-seat bar and four bathrooms, and a licensed closing time of 2 a.m. Those are the approved premises and license details; the public opening announcement will establish when customers can visit.

Readers interested in visiting should check the official website or social account for an opening announcement and current entertainment information. The website lists Bos@thespurbar.com for questions. Checking those channels will also help residents follow the charitable program as it moves from the owners’ plans into operation.

The Spur’s plans combine a neighborhood gathering place with a cause rooted in the owners’ experience. For Chelsea neighbors following new destinations across the creek, the appeal includes both live music spanning different genres and a chance to learn more about animal-rescue work.
