My wife and I went to this place on a Sunday. Was unexpectedly quiet--I think that they had had an event finish earlier that day--but were instantly greeted by Brian. Fantastic service with nice people. Very attentive and accommodating. Great beer! We lived in Wisconsin and Minnesota so we like to think we know good beer and this place has it. Fun vibes and great service with nice people. We'll certainly be back soon!

LongLive has been one of our favorite spots to relax (and take guests) since moving to Boston two years ago. This place has the friendliest staff, the best ambience, and always has a ton of community partner-sponsored activities (think sushi-making and trivia). In addition, their selection of mocktails and fizzy waters is excellent - so it’s great for drinkers and teetotalers alike. We love this place and are grateful for all it brings to our neighborhood.

Long Live is by far my favorite brewery in Massachusetts. The beers are incredible and the atmosphere, no matter the day, is fantastic. Brian always takes great care of us, I was there yesterday, but can't wait to go back soon.

We had a great time at this brewery. The stouts and IPA’s were both fantastic. Brian, the bartender did a great job as did the other bartender but I didn’t catch his name. We even came back the next night to pick up some cans to go.

Fenway Beer Shop

Never seen so many craft beers in all my life! Also an excellent range of Bourbon at what seemed to be reasonable prices. We actually went in to leave our bags (for $5) so we could do the Fenway Park tour.

Hands down the best beer shop in Boston. Incredible domestic craft beer selection, with a focus on New England brews. Any craft beer lover MUST visit.

Super friendly staff and an amazing selection of craft beer (from all round the US and an aisle of craft beers from the rest of the world) make this possibly the best place in central Boston to pick up the world's best beers. There's plenty of fridges to buy cold, or there's a few aisles for the rest. There's also a selection of wines too. Well worth a visit, especially before or after the baseball.

places/ChIJdR8-DPZ544kR5TPow9bi7rU/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURTMHFTVFpBEAE

Absolutely amazing beer shop! They put together a package of beers according to the taste of my soon to be brother-in-law for Christmas! My fiancé and I live far away and we’re unable to spend time together for Christmas unfortunately. Thankfully, it was a great present and he’s enjoying the selection! Thank you!!!

Samuel Adams Boston Brewery - Jamaica Plain

Nice tour. Our tour guide was funny, and interesting. The brewery is small and pretty much a one room tour. It is very clean, welcoming and you get to try/buy different beers.  Very relaxed atmosphere.

places/ChIJeRyjfXt544kRdjPWKIshi2A/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJXzdncENPLTdYdzdBRRAB

We did the brewery tour. Our tour guide, Taylor was absolutely incredible, she was enthusiastic, really sweet and very informative about the history as well as the beers. I’ll be honest my favorite part was at the end in the barrel room, the beer that they served us was called “The Vixen” and it was an absolutely incredible beer, rich and creamy. I wish I could get my hands on it outside of the brewery however, for now you’re only able to get that drink in that room, only on the tour.

Did the tour, because why not!?! Sam Adams is probably the best mass produced "craft" beer on the market.  And there are so many varieties that aren't distributed!! The location is awesome, tucked back into a Jamaica Plain neighborhood occupying and old brewery. The facility is awesome!! The beers are solid and the tour was really cool. Out tour guide (rhymes with coffee) was awesome!! The perfect blend of humor and history!! Afterwards, we enjoyed a couple of pints outside and listened to some live music. It was a great time!!🍻

This brewery blew my mind. So many great-tasting beers on tap. Some you can't get anywhere else besides the actual brewery. I tried just about every beer they had on hand. Alexis was my beer tender and she was awesome. I was ecstatic they had the Derrick White Ale on tap as I'm a big Celtics fan and love the collaboration together. They had a nice shop to buy beers or merch to take home with you. They have a great indoor seating area as well as a nice outdoor area where you can sit your pup. They also serve food! Definitely one of my favorite spots ive been to in a while.

Ever year Since 2014, I have been going to Boston and visiting Sam Adams, sometimes twice a year. Taking friends up to catch a RedSox game wasn’t complete without stopping at the brewery.  ( The good old days were when Doyle's was open and jason drove the Trolley/Bus then took you on a tour of the city, “Doyle’s 💪🏼”) However in September of 2023 we showed up to a place that was unrecognizable, compared the Red-White & Blue Sam Adams of old, this place was literally all Rainbow Flags complete with a chalkboard listing how it is a safe space and the things that will not be tolerated.
Not only have they ruined the atmosphere but the Flagship beer Boston Lager has been "remastered", the very beer that started the craft brewing craze went through a "Transition". They should change the name to Samantha Adams.

Trillium Garden on The Greenway

Trillium is more than just a brewery—it’s where legends are made. We rolled in for some drinks, and my buddy Trevor ended up meeting his future wife. Sparks flew over a couple of double IPAs, and now they’re back home, engaged, and get this—they’re planning to name their future kid after one of the beers they had that night. That’s how hard Trillium hit.

The vibe was electric. Great music, killer beer, and an energy that just kept building. Things got wild in the house after—laughs, stories, noise echoing off the walls till the early morning. Safe to say it was one of those nights that gets talked about for years.

The beer? Top-tier. The staff? Super friendly. The atmosphere? Perfect mix of cool and chaotic.

If you’re in Boston, don’t skip Trillium. You might just meet your soulmate—or at least name your next kid after a pale ale.

The workers are HORRIBLE PEOPLE! When my parents were ordering their drinks me and my brother were waiting behind them. My brother had one of the free cups of water and one of the workers asked him if he wanted a drink. My brother didn't hear her and she turned to a few of the other bartenders and started making fun of the way my brother was drinking. My brother has autism and wasn't harming any of them, he was just walking around. Do better. I hope you awful people get your karma.

So Much for Salsa Night...

Billed as a vibrant evening of rhythm, flavor, and cultural flair, “Salsa Night” turned out to be more of a slow shuffle in an empty room. The energy was flat, the crowd nearly nonexistent, and any promise of lively dancing felt like a forgotten afterthought. A handful of guests milled about, looking just as confused as I was. What was meant to be a celebration of culture ended up feeling more like a dress rehearsal no one showed up for. A missed opportunity—and a forgettable night

Great venue. Decent beer. No real food options other than a few snack shack selections. Music did not fit the vibe at all. Bunch of families with young kids running around while club music was being blasted. To whoever is DJing - your playlist appeals to nobody except you. We don't need to hear bad bunny's entire album and nobody knows what he is saying.

Theres art all over and the lighting is nice and warm and it sets such a comfortable vibe. Everything is so cool there and the staff is really accommodating! Even the bathrooms are cool to look at lol. The alley is interactive and we had no tech issues when playing. Really good seating there as well.

Where’s the Steak? A Nacho Mystery

I ordered the steak nachos with anticipation—visions of sizzling, seasoned beef atop a generous bed of chips, smothered in all the expected indulgences. What arrived, however, was more of a culinary riddle: a meager handful of tortilla chips, scattered with a whisper of toppings and not a meaningful trace of steak in sight. If there was meat, it must have been hiding. For the price, I expected a showstopper; instead, I got what could only be described as the most overpriced bag of chips I’ve ever encountered—minus the steak, minus the satisfaction.

Unsettling and Inconsiderate bathroom set up!

There are few things more jarring than stepping into what’s meant to be a private space and instantly feeling exposed. The open-concept restroom—with no real division between men and women—felt deeply uncomfortable and, frankly, unsafe. Privacy isn’t a luxury; it’s a basic expectation. Whatever the intention behind this design, it missed a crucial mark: respecting the comfort and boundaries of all guests

They have a variety of activities to do, some at no cost, and the layout is definitely conducive of a good time. I’ll be coming back soon and glad I found this spot. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new place to try!

Remnant Brewing is a hidden gem in the heart of Somerville! Located at the super cool Bow Market, the vibe here is unbeatable—laid-back, welcoming, and perfect for a sunny day hang.

I had their session ale and it totally hit the spot. Light, not too bitter, and super crushable—just a perfect pint for a hot day. The outdoor space, community energy, and great beer made this an instant favorite.

Loved it here and definitely want to come back and spend more time. Highly recommend if you’re in the area or planning a day around Bow Market!

Fun atmosphere (inside and on the large patio)  and you can buy food from nearby vendors to eat on the patio.

I stopped by Notch Brewing Brighton just for the beer, and I’m glad I did. I tried The Standard, Dunkel, Salem Lager, and a few others — each one showed off a different side of their lager game. The Standard was crisp and classic, the Dunkel had a nice malty depth without feeling heavy, and the Salem was super clean with a dry finish that I really liked.

What stood out to me was the consistency. Every pour was clean, balanced, and precise — which isn’t easy with lagers. There’s no room to mask imperfections, and Notch nails it across the board.

The space itself is laid-back with a casual crowd, perfect for focusing on the beer. As someone who works around flavors a lot, I really appreciate when simple things are done this well. I’ll definitely come back — next time I’ll take my time and go through the full lineup properly.

We love Notch, and are always greeted warmly and professionally. The atmosphere is great and the beer is better! I read some reviews that were negative, especially around their "family-friendly" policy. Kids are great, especially your own. When kids are left unattended, causing chaos, parents need to teach them how to behave in public establishments. We have 2 dogs who are "spirited" and because of this we wouldn't consider taking them to a pet friendly place. Common courtesy. Some of those complaining about the staff asking to rein in their kids are probably the same kids we roll our eyes about. Also, if an establishment has a policy of no kids after a certain time, respect that and stop complaining.

Notch will always be my place for a good brew and connecting with friends.

Food: you can bring outside food or buy pizza from the 'pizza project' that is next door. Good spot if you want to enjoy a nice beer after work. They close at 10pm but you can stay normally until 10:30 to 11pm.

Awesome location to enjoy some refreshing brews, tantalizing food trucks, and play some lawn games surrounded by friends on the weekend. Much less crowded than the Esplenade location, and fewer bugs to annoy you. If you're local, it's the perfect spot for afternoon gathering and lawn games. Make sure to take advantage of it while it's open in the summer.

Great chill spot for hanging out and having a few drinks. Staff were super friendly and helped us pick some beers (we went with the Steinbier and the lactose sour), the spot was super relaxing and lovely. Portaloos available, and would recommend shoes that are flat since the ground is just grass/dirt. Oh, and when the path forks go the left! We walked all the way past the venue before realizing where the entrance was 😅 Would recommend bringing food if you think you’ll get hungry! Pretty sure we found our new favorite spot to meet up with friends :)

Expected this place to be swamped on a Saturday evening and was more then pleasantly surprised - what an awesome spot. Right on the river, next to community garden with free flowing beer this place is a little hidden oasis. Can't rave enough about the relaxing atmosphere and chilled out vibes, I'll be frequenting here all summer.

It was a very nice, relaxing way to spend an hour when visiting from out of state!

Always a fun time at the night shift owl’s nest. They have a great beer selection along with seltzers and non-alcoholic drink options.
Located right next to the Charles river you get an amazing view. Great place to bike or walk up and spend some time drinking outdoors.
Be careful of the mosquitoes after a rainy day.
They have many porta potty’s and hand wash stations making it easy to use to bathroom. There is always a nice foot truck around from when they open to almost close.
If you are taking an uber here it will be hard to stop on the road and find the place.

Castle Island Brewing - South Boston

places/ChIJ60gq7-J744kRM1wyxaPyQIw/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNBdzRQdldREAE

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception than Castle Island Brewery in South Boston! We live near by and knew it was the perfect place for our August wedding. The brewery’s spacious, airy atmosphere made it feel both relaxed and elevated for our big day. We utilized the indoor and outdoor space for our guests to enjoy. Kevin (event manager) was incredibly communicative and clearly had expertise in carrying out wedding visions. It was catered by the associated company "Off the Vine" and our guests raved about the food. We opted for reception style meals so had a mashed potato bar, pasta bar, carvery station and stationary appetizers. We loved the late night pizza addition and specialized dessert. My favorite part was that we did not have assigned seating but there was still plenty of space for our guests to enjoy their food. This encouraged more mingling, and eventually encouraged an incredible/lively dance floor.

The staff at Castle Island Brewery went above and beyond, and are people our guests still talk about even 6 months later. They paid close attention to ensure we (bride and groom) were taken care off, as well as the older guests. I really cannot say enough about how kind, accommodating, caring and genuinely excited/supportive the entire staff was.

If you’re looking for a city wedding venue that offers something a little different, with amazing beer and a fantastic team to back it up, we can’t recommend Castle Island Brewery enough!

Not sure if they ran out of pork or what but getting home and opening this up is a slap in the face for $16-$17 a sandwich.

Chips always good 👍

Nice outdoor Harpoon beer garden in Boston Common. It is in the southeast corner of the park, across from the AMC (correct on Yelp, incorrect on Google). They also have food and live music. It was a different brewery company in 2023 but same vibe.

Pricey beers, but good hang. Great sound system and live music.

Great spot for local liquor and craft beers, especially if you’re looking to enjoy some drinks outside. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and a relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends.

Lots of food options too—something for everyone. Whether you’re grabbing a drink or looking for a casual place to eat, this place hits the mark.

Cisco Brewery: Where the Porta-Potties Hold More Secrets Than the Crown Jewels

Let me set the scene: The Queen and I descended upon Cisco Brewery in Boston’s Seaport like two sun-starved peasants who’d just discovered that beer and tasty drinks exists. The weather? Gorgeous. The sun? A relentless, fiery orb determined to turn us into human jerky. But did we care? No, because food, tasty cold drinks and beer.

This place is basically an adult playground with food trucks slinging everything from fried seafood (delicious) to pizza (also delicious) to chicken fingers (classic, like the Queen’s taste in hats). We snagged a table off to the side, where the shade was as scarce as a polite comment on Twitter. But hey, sweating builds character—or at least that’s what I told myself as I melted into a puddle slight regret.

Now, let’s talk about the real adventure: The Great Porta-Potty Speakeasy Scavenger Hunt. Cisco Brewery teased us with whispers of a hidden bar, accessible only through one of those plastic throne rooms we all know and… tolerate. After a quick pit stop (because hydration is key), we found the special porta-potty—marked with a biohazard sign, because nothing says "exclusive lounge" like the threat of chemical warfare.

Swing open the door, shuffle past the toilet paper (hopefully unused), and voilà—you’re in a speakeasy the size of a broom closet with all the ambiance of a storage unit. Two tables, some walls, and the lingering question: "Did I just walk into a prank?" If you’re expecting a roaring ‘20s vibe with flapper girls and bathtub gin, you’ll be more disappointed than the Queen realizing her "limey, spicy" canned drink was a fancy adult Capri Sun.

But here’s the thing—Cisco Brewery is still a blast. The food? Killer. The live music? Perfect for awkwardly swaying while holding a beer. The people-watching? Top-tier, especially when the guy next to you tries to drunkenly explain cryptocurrency to his golden retriever.

Final Verdict: Come for the beer, stay for the food, and maybe—maybe—check out the porta-potty speakeasy if you enjoy the thrill of mild disappointment. Just don’t forget sunscreen, because the sun here has no mercy. 4/5 stars, would sweat again. 👑🍻

Great find in Terminal B. Food was tasty and for airport prices inexpencive. Beers were good too... My server, James was friendly, busy and responsive. Nice experience, will make this my stop when transfering through Terminal B.

Started my Boston trip at Cisco and truly couldn’t have chosen a better spot. Jimmy the bouncer, greeted us warmly and made sure my friends and I were set for a great time. He insisted we try a mudslide before leaving and he was absolutely right, it was a must. The atmosphere was inviting, the energy was great, and the drinks were even better. Highly recommend starting (or ending) your night here.

Great use of an empty lot in the seaport district. We came on a Friday late afternoon (bring ID they check all on entry and give a wristband). There were plenty of tables at this time, however we drove past later in the evening and it was packed out.

Had a festival ground feel. Loads of seating with some undercover from umbrellas and a marquee.

Main attraction of course is the craft beers from the state. My husband had a peach flour beer which he really enjoyed. I had a spiked ice tea from a can which was also really tasty, not too sweet just needed some lemon / lime for a garnish.

Wide selection of beers, lovers of IPAs and pilsners will be very happy. They also have artisanal spirits. Available.

Great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Clearly very popular venue.

Edit: I brought it up to 3 stars because the food was delicious.

I felt bad for the two servers who had to split the whole place between them.

Original review:

I am still sitting here waiting for my food. Since I ordered, my sister drove down from Gloucester during rush hour, parked, and is now walking over to meet me.

City Tap House Boston

The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a night out with friends. The food is consistently great, with a solid mix of comfort classics and creative twists. I highly recommend the wings, and their beer selection is top-notch, with plenty of local and seasonal options to choose from.

The staff is always friendly and attentive, and service is quick even when the place is busy. I also really like the spacious layout and the outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

Whether you’re in the mood for a good meal, a drink with friends, or just a relaxed spot to hang out, City Tap is a go-to in Boston. Highly recommend!

We had to wait about 7-10 for the server to come. When he took our order, the food came in fast and it was quite tasty. We got the black angusbtap burger and the Margherita pizza. The pizza was thin, and it was okay. The burger was amazing! And the fries were quite good as well.
They offer a wide range of beers. We had a nice dinner

Great range of beers and food as well. I had a burger and pizza. Both could have been better but still they were decent. It was my 4th or 5th time here. Love the place and vibe.

Very overrated. The place is not in such cool location to charge what they do. And that would be fine if they'd advertise their prices correctly. I made the mistake of not asking beforehand the cost of a canned beer. I should have. Because no one should pay $14 for a canned beer with no service. They won't even take your order to the table. And they have the audacity to ask for a tip. Everyone is free to run their business as they please and clients can freely decide whether to spend their money on them. But not showing their prices is deception and not fair for the consumer. I am not even sure they're complying with the. Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 138, Section 15). Nevertheless, I will definitely never go back again.

Follow up to the manager response:

Prices were not clearly displayed in the menu in the screens. That's call deception.

If you actually check my review history you will find it's actually pretty good. You'll find very VERY few poor reviews. And you'll find a huge array of reviews from all over the world.

Table service is not really existing when you wait 20+ minutes and no one shows up to your table when you have an occupancy close to 50%.

Staff is not what one would consider nice either.

Management replies are really the "keyboard warrior" here. No apologies. No taking into account what a customer says. Just check other responses. Just entitlement and condescending tone. I am happy to edit my review to the lowest rating possible 🤭

The Anchor near Charlestown Navy Yard is a fantastic spot! We were unsure about the fireworks view but were thrilled with the clear, stunning display from their waterfront location. No crowds, just a fun, family-friendly vibe. The lobster rolls were loaded with fresh, juicy lobster, and the clam chowder was hands-down the best we had all night—creamy and flavorful. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff making us feel right at home. Skip the traffic chaos and head to The Anchor for great food and a perfect fireworks experience. Highly recommend

10/10 would recommend sweating with friends in public again.

The drinks were cold, the outfits were hotter, and the only thing more consistent than the heat was our group’s inability to take a serious photo.

Came for the socializing, stayed for the scenic steps and accidental group cardio. Bonus points for the patio seating and someone’s wildly floral shirt that doubled as event decor.

Would I go again? Only if I can bring my emotional support White Claw and this chaotic crew. 💦☀️🍹

The spot is excellent in the summer! Great views! Being a Charlestown resident, I love having some outdoor space to relax and drink in warm weather since we have no outdoor space. I will say this spot has a lot of potential to become something really great. I wish there were more options for drinks, such as wines by the bottle or cocktails. It would be nice if food trucks were available. but an easy place to just pop in and have a drink without reservations.

Best pretzels we ever had! Our server and overall service and experience was great! We here for work/ family time and I cannot wait to be back!

Not a bad option for the area, but they still have a "kitchen fee" in 2025 that is on the bill. Surprise! Your meal is more than you thought. I won't return as I feel this is a dishonest practice.

places/ChIJ3cnt8oJx44kRFfUtQmbQgjg/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURwOFBmMVBnEAE

Unexpectedly, shout out to the ribs. They may have cheese on them but they are sure tasty, especially for $24!

Furthermore, the frozé (frozen rosé) that was recommended to us was fantastic. The bar staff is top notch.

However, not enough shade for all the benches if it’s too hot.

If my experience wasn’t a one off thing, this place is a hidden gem in the guise of a tourist trap.

Advertise those ribs!

Distraction + Democracy Beer Garden – A True Boston Experience

Ah, just after high noon on a Saturday, we strolled right into the Distraction + Democracy Beer Garden like we owned the place—which we don’t, but that’s beside the point. At first, it was busier than the T at rush hour, but then, like magic (or maybe just typical Boston flakiness), half the crowd vanished in 10 minutes. Sweet.

The walk-up counter was packed with staff—actual human beings ready to serve you, not like some places where you gotta wave your arms around like a maniac just to get a drink. Even though they were outta a couple brews (probably drank ‘em all before we got there), there were still plenty of options—unless you’re that guy who only drinks one obscure IPA from Vermont. In which case, tough luck, pal.

Beer in hand, we snagged a couple seats along the wall, perfect for overlooking the greatest show on earth: Boston streets. If you love the soothing sounds of sirens wailing, tires screeching like banshees, horns blaring like it’s the end times, and good ol’ fashioned Masshole drivers hanging out their windows flipping each other off—then buddy, this is your Zen garden. We sure as hell enjoyed it.

Seating options? You got bar-height tables with stools (for those who like to feel fancy), outdoor chairs (for regular folks), and even couches (for the people who clearly plan on staying awhile—or passing out).

Bottom line? If you want a cold beer, solid people-watching (and let’s be real, in Boston, the people-watching is an Olympic sport), and a front-row seat to the city’s beautiful chaos, then Distraction + Democracy Beer Garden better be on your damn list. Cheers—or as we say here, "youse better enjoy it!"🍻

Guys, paid $25/pp to get in and they have 3 porta-potties that haven't been cleaned in a week, no TP, awful, graphic conditions. Like the beer is good and the music is 🔥 but this bathroom situation is unacceptable. Please PLEASE figure out your bathroom situation.

Charged for a 16oz pour (as shown on the menu and chalkboard) and served in a 12oz cup. Pointed out to server who hastily erased the chalkboard from “16 oz” to “12 oz” rather than making up the difference. Only had 12oz cups so got the sense it was an intentional rip off scam.
