When Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder comes to Boston, he’s been known to hang out with Red Sox adviser Theo Epstein. It turns out that Vedder has another friend with longtime Boston ties: Actor John Krasinski.

Krasinski grabbed dinner with Vedder at 1928 Restaurant in Beacon Hill on Saturday night before Vedder and Pearl Jam played a pair of shows at Fenway Park on Sunday and Tuesday.

A source told Boston.com that Vedder and Krasinski enjoyed dinner and drinks, with the singer sipping margaritas and the actor favoring Moscow mules.

The pair posed for photos with guests and 1928 staff, and Vedder even gave one of his fans a guitar pick before departing.

Krasinski and Vedder reunited onstage at Pearl Jam’s Fenway concert on Sunday, with the actor shaking a tambourine for the assembled crowd.

This isn’t the first time the Newton native and Vedder have hung out. Back in 2017, guitarist Simon Townshend — younger brother of The Who’s Pete Townshend — posted a photo of himself on Facebook alongside Vedder and Krasinski following a Pearl Jam show at the London Apollo that featured Townshend on guitar.
