Julian Bolger

President

Hailing from Bray, Ireland, Julian Bolger came to the states ready to work.  His first restaurant/bar, The Playwright in South Boston, solidified his brand and mission for subsequent locations.  He would: cultivate an impressive and loyal group of regulars, give back to the community, hire lean and mean crews who delivered great service every visit, and only open bars that he would want to frequent.  After partnering with Pat Dillon and Shawn Ahern, that mission took off with great speed and success.  The trio who would become Maverick Hospitality, opened Lucy’s in 2016, The Bowery in 2018, reopened Cityside in 2021, Sam Walker’s in 2022, Layla’s in 2023, and Maverick’s first tequila bar and taqueria, Chubbs, in 2024.  Julian continues to scout the city for future locations and relishes the build-out of every newest addition.
