It’s hard to keep track of the name of the restaurant at 3840 Washington Street in Forest Hills.
This week, the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Council Public Service Committee is taking a vote to support B.U. Bistro to transfer its alcohol license to Oda Bar & Bites, which has its own website. B.U. Bistro came to the location in March 2023.
But then it was to be Pomona Cafe & Wine Bar in August 2023, according to Boston Restaurant Talk. On a Google Street View from August 2024, the establishment’s window says Pomona is coming soon.
Before both of those iterations, it used to be Simpli Bar & Bites, which hung around for several years.
The commercial spot was actually sold in February 2025 for $180,000 after being listed originally for $250,000, according to several online real estate sites.
