We just had some drinks. The plan has so much potential, and should be used more.

They were able to accommodate a super last minute reservation for me as a visitor/non-member for a conference room and were so kind. I very much appreciated it and highly recommend their co-working space! Thanks again!!

An absolute gem in Rozzie! This bar is the kind of spot that instantly feels like a neighborhood staple. It’s got this beautiful, historical vibe—warm, inviting, and full of character. A true hidden treasure with a timeless feel.

And the drinks? Delicious. Thoughtfully crafted, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re into classics or something a little more inventive, every sip hits just right.

But what really makes this place shine is Jimmy behind the bar. Next level. Friendly, intuitive, and the kind of bartender who remembers your name and your drink—plus he’s got great energy that pulls the whole room together.

This place is a major addition to the neighborhood, and I’m already planning my next visit. Rozzie just got even better.

A really wonderful community hub. With thier new liquor license they have raised the bar even higher than they were able to with thier stellar brewer residences. A great selection of beers, great cocktails, and fabulous mocktails too.

Had a big milestone birthday celebration here and worked out perfectly. Space is perfect for event large to small, staff is friendly and very responsive. Will definitely consider for future celebrations.

This historic building is grand and down to earth at the same time. Leadership is local to the neighborhood and being able just chat with them about what would be great to see or do in this community space, is making us love it more.

For us, it’s already tradition that we come here with our kids 5-7pm on Fridays for a beer (adults only), and pizza from MyFinca.

A coworking space by day, and beer garden by night, this is the perfect place for a birthday celebration, family reunion, wedding or time out with friends.

Feeling fortunate this space is available in Roslindale!

This place is such an incredible space, so open, inviting and relaxing. Also, the beer tender Dan is so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the building’s history, as well as the beers served on tap! So, grab your friends, your significant others, workplace people and head up to see Dan, he will take great care of you!!

I hosted my twins' bat mitzvah here and it was perfect. We barely needed any decorations because the space was so lovely and provided a festive ambience. Laura was a dream to work with - she helped us make key decisions and realize the vision we had for the day. We wanted a setting that was comfortable, but also festive and the Substation fit the bill and much more! could not have asked for a better setting for our girls' celebration.

We used the Substation for our nonprofit gala, and it was a terrific experience. The staff is great, the pricing is affordable, and the venue vibe is wonderful. You can’t go wrong here!
