The Owl’s Nest is our family of seasonal, pop-up beer gardens. This season we are offering:

• Fresh craft beers, hard seltzers, wines, and other beverages
• In addition to Night Shift Brewing we also offer other craft beverage brands from our Night Shift Distributing Portfolio
• Bathroom stations
• Food trucks. Esplanade welcomes the Brato Brewhouse food truck residency. Allston will feature a rotating roster of food trucks.

COVID-19 UPDATES: Owl’s Nests are now at 100% capacity. Here’s what this means for our guests:

• MASKS – Night Shift will follow CDC guidance regarding masks. Guests who are fully vaccinated are welcome to go mask-free. If you’re not vaccinated or only partially vaccinated, we ask that you wear your mask in order to keep our staff and patrons safe.
• RESERVATIONS – Owl’s Nests will transition to general admission and will no longer accept reservations.
• SETUP – Online ordering at the tables will go away, you are welcome to order beers directly from our wonderful bar staff.
• FOOD – The food requirement will be discontinued and guests are welcome to bring outside food to enjoy with your Night Shift beverages! We will still have the Brato Food Truck at Esplanade and a rotation of food trucks at Allston.
• DOGS – While we love our four-legged friends, dogs will not be permitted at the Boston Owl’s Nests due to city mandates.

Do not visit if you’ve experienced any COVID-19 symptoms within the last week, are waiting for test results, and/or have been in close physical contact with anyone who’s either experienced similar symptoms or who has tested positive for COVID-19.
