Spend a gorgeous summer afternoon or early evening at Trillium Brewing's seasonal beer garden, situated on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Expect a crowd—it's generally mobbed, especially considering it's both dog and kid friendly. Food trucks park nearby or you can bring in your own noshes. On tap find a rotating selection of 16 Trillium craft beers, from hoppy to sours.
Just 20 feet from the water, this open-air public gathering space is also a performing arts venue and open-air wine and beer garden. The two-story venue is full of swings, huge pillows set against stone terraces, lounge sets, and a grassy lawn for relaxing and sipping cocktails.
Co-Founders Sarah Real and Mike Dell’Aquila have made this hip downtown brewery into a community hub, providing beer lovers a rotating menu of craft beers, weekly entertainment, and a quiet spot where you can play board games or join a book club. The brewery doesn't sell food, so feel free to bring your favorite pizza to enjoy with friends over a pint.
