Beer Gardens near Charlestown, MA

“Finally made it to The Anchor and I was not disappointed. This place had a spot for everyone! Quieter areas near a neat water fountain, shaded areas, and high sun areas, and even an upstairs with amazing views of the waterfront. I was there on a Saturday World Cup double header as well as the first day of the parade of sails, got a great spot in front of one of the smaller TVs which gave me a great view of the game, the waterfront, AND of the sea of reactions from fans watching the big screen. Employees were great, kept things moving without making us feel rushed!“

“Had a semi-private event here for a birthday party. The team was terrific to work with in both planning the event and onsite on the day of. The setting is great--we happened to luck out with good weather, but it's very serene. Beers and seltzers are great; we brought in our own party food (which is how it works for private events); tables and chairs were all set for us on arrival and the bartenders were lovely, as was Brittany in lots of communications to plan. Thank you all!“

“Great place to go for food and beer. Indoor and outdoor seating - the inside is kept too cold for me. Came here two days in a row for dinner in August 2026 - chicken tikka marsala on the special menu the first night and it was delicious.
Good management is evident as all the servers were great.“

“Great indoors and outdoors space. The vibe is really nice and I love the amount of space they have to work with. I'd say the weird part of our experience was that the bartender was struggling to pull their IPA from the tap it was clearing a clogged line or a tapped keg as he was getting mostly foam but didn't try to rectify the situation he just kept letting it pour. So I wasn't too happy with my IPA for that reason. The guava sour was quite nice.

The pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable and would highly recommend this spot.

Outside of the weird IPA experience I wouldn't have any complaints.“

“We walked here from the AC hotel but I believe there is some street parking. It's a cool spot with plenty of seating inside and out. Stocked bar as well as beer and cocktail dispensers that you can self pour with a card from the wall. We thought this would be multiple food vendors but it was one kitchen and you order from the QR codes on the table.

The bartender here was really friendly and helpful and the beers were good. We ordered the Parmesan wings and there was some parm crisps on them - they were pretty good and very tender.

Definitely recommend for some good vibes to hangout.“

“Good location! Good beer!“

“Vegetable great I Loved it“

“The atmosphere is open and modern. There is casual seating on sofas and soft lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs outside in a grassy area next to some picnic tables on a cemented area. Indoors, much of the eating is done on long tables that are shared and seating at the bar. Ping pong is available as well as table shuffleboard. The food I've had so far are burger and fries, margherita pizza, house salad, lemonade, and cheesecake. All have been delicious and I look forward to going back and trying the tacos.“

“The food definitely isn’t the best but it’s an amazing place to go for drinks and to hang out, especially after work in Seaport. There are a ton of different bars and a ton of different seating options to accommodate all sorts of groups.“
