Beer Gardens

During the warmer months (May-October), we welcome fans into our seasonal beer gardens – one on Boston’s Esplanade, one in Allston at Herter Park. These beer gardens offer a welcoming guest experience, with a variety of our beer, hard seltzer, and wine products, as well as non-alcoholic beverage options, and snacks. We also aim to have a food truck on-site each day that we are open!

RESERVATIONS

Space at our locations is available through walk-ins only, reservations are not accepted. If you have a larger group and would like to rent out table space, or book a private event, please contact our Events team!

DOGS

We love our pups, but due to a city mandate, we are unable to allow dogs at our beer garden locations.

Food

We have food trucks available at our Esplanade and Allston locations, as well as snacks available on site. Guests are welcome to bring outside food to enjoy with your Night Shift beverages! A friendly reminder that our gardens are hosted on conservation sites with few trash receptacles so we appreciate any and all help keeping our spaces clean!

Yes we are still OPEN at our Esplanade and Assembly locations going into this weekend. We just had our final day at Kendall (now closed) and Allston will be closed for HOCR this weekend.

However - normal hours for Esplanade and Assembly through this weekend! And possibly next weekend (+ Allston) if the weather holds up!
