The Wedge, an intimate new concert space and restaurant at 442 Bates Street, has delayed its opening because of “circumstances beyond our control,” according to organizers.

The opening of the new venue was scheduled for Friday, and new opening date is to be announced.

A statement read: “The owners, management and staff want to offer our guests the best possible experience when coming to the Wedge, especially for the first time. Therefore we will reschedule our official grand opening at a time to be announced shortly.

“We ask that you bear with us while we work out the kinks, and when we do open, we promise to show you a good time.”
