“Went to get lunch when we got to Boston. Was close by our hotel and I love craft beer so was excited to try something local. Split the burger for lunch which was excellent. Tried three different beers and enjoyed each one. They didn’t do flights but do offer small pours so it made it easy to try different brews.
Venue was nice as well and easy to get to in the Seaport area.“
“Attended a class pop event here today and it was fabulous. Beer Selection was awesome.“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“
“Widowmaker always has a solid selection, with that comes an amazing seasonal rotation and a few surprises mixed in. I prefer IPAs and Sours and Widowmaker does not disappoint. Dogs are encouraged!“
“The previous time I went, it was frustrating arriving and leaving by bike because the painted bike lane was constantly full of rideshare drivers who pull in front of you/into you without checking their mirrors. I went back for the first time in a while last night, and the new bike lane makes it so much less stressful to share the space with those drivers, so I feel much more comfortable coming back. The vibe in Portico itself is great, so I am glad the trip there and back is getting less stressful!
(Sorry, I don't know how to reply except by editing my review. It looks like May 25th is a Sunday; is it then or Thursday the 22nd?)“
“Love this space! Perfect place for studying and working during the day, I love being able to grab a coffee and/or a beer and read for class during the day and no laptops Friday and Saturday nights means I'm able to decompress and relax without feeling guilty that other people are still working when I'm not. Great cafe drinks and wonderful variety of beers!“
“First visit, so we got two of their specialty flights, each containing four small pours of their local beer, chosen especially for summer time. One flight was IPA focused, and had a range of moderate hoppiness, along with one juicy, in-your-face over hopped wonders. The other flight featured a delicious raspberry sour beer, plus an addictive "brewtini" beer cocktail. Service was so friendly and welcoming, and I liked their outdoor beer garden. We brought lunch from a neighborhood restaurant.“
“Great beer/seltzers/food, great space, friendly staff!“
“Visited on 4/15/25 around 2:30 PM. The staff working this day were very friendly and patient as we figured out what beer we wanted to try. They offer half pours which allowed us to try multiple varieties and the quality was very good. The brewery had 80's and 90's music playing at a comfortable volume which we enjoyed. Seating inside the taproom was basic picnic tables as we've seen in other breweries. On this day, there weren't a lot of customers so it was somewhat quiet.“
“Good beer, good times and good friends“
“We had a wonderful time at Barrell Z House this past Saturday. Our bartender, dressed in Germany garb for Oktoberfest, was so friendly and helpful. We had our little dog Ella with us and was made to feel welcome. Our bartender even brought us a fresh bowl of water for her. We got some delicious sirloin sliders for us and doggie biscuits with PB for Ella from the food truck. My husband and I enjoyed the IPA. We tasted two different types, one more fruity and aroma, the other more hoppy. We’re hop heads and both agreed that the more hoppy one was our fav! They have a nice, shady outdoor area with Adirondack chairs, a great space to soak up the beer and sunshine these early fall days.“
“I went there for an event my group was hosting and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Great beer. It was a great space for a get together.“
“If you haven’t been to Castle Island Brewery yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots in Boston. From their friendly staff and rotating local pop-ups to live music and unbeatable weekend energy, it’s always a good time. Add in their award-winning brews and Bardo’s delicious food menu, and you’ve got a go-to destination for your next visit to Southie“

“Great open space with a patio area and a rooftop area. The craft brews are great and the charcuterie options were spot on.“
“Great beer and outdoor space“
“Visited this location for the first time yesterday before a show at MGM! I go to the Waltham location quite often. Mike, Dre, and John were great at the bar. I'll make sure to stop in before the shows I'm going to rest of this year! A+“
“This vibrant brewery in Somerville is a hidden gem tucked away in a corner, featuring an impressive outdoor area that's likely a popular hangout during the summer months. The interior is spacious and stylish, with plenty of seating in the main room and additional areas to the left as you walk in. There are also a variety of food vendors on-site, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink and a bite with friends.“
“Casual venue for drinks. Was quiet in a snowy Saturday. Large selection of beers and one cocktail in a can. Some diversions for kids (basketball, some board games). Large slice of tasteless pizza. No parking (altho it was so quiet that we grabbed an employee parking spot).“

“Very well made beer, nice diversity in styles (NEIPA, sour, stout and even a couple N/As) Relaxing atmosphere.“
“Perfect cider with no carbonation or added sugar. Love it!“
“I stopped by Notch Brewing Brighton just for the beer, and I’m glad I did. I tried The Standard, Dunkel, Salem Lager, and a few others — each one showed off a different side of their lager game. The Standard was crisp and classic, the Dunkel had a nice malty depth without feeling heavy, and the Salem was super clean with a dry finish that I really liked.
What stood out to me was the consistency. Every pour was clean, balanced, and precise — which isn’t easy with lagers. There’s no room to mask imperfections, and Notch nails it across the board.
The space itself is laid-back with a casual crowd, perfect for focusing on the beer. As someone who works around flavors a lot, I really appreciate when simple things are done this well. I’ll definitely come back — next time I’ll take my time and go through the full lineup properly.“
“This weekend we stumbled upon Lamplighter Brewing Company in Cambridge. It has a welcoming and hipster vibe. Really enjoyed seeing the pride flag at the bar— felt like a safe space for all.
The Cambridge location is busy around the time we went, which was around noon on a Saturday. There is lots of seating in the front but also in the back which is a little more quiet.
The setup is a little confusing for ordering though. There's one big line for food and coffee, but you don’t need to wait in that line to order beers. I wish we knew that because we didn’t see any signage to indicate where to order what. We also saw a lot of people sitting at the bar eating and drinking coffee, so it took a little bit to find a spot at the bar just to have a drink. I think the bar should be reserved for those looking to have a beer.
A positive though is that the beer tasty— light and refreshing. I thought some of the flavors were really creative. For example, I tried the Chrysalis which I believe had notes of jasmine and honey.
Overall would definitely come here again and try their food and coffee next time!“

“Definitely worth checking out if you’re at Marina Bay or in the area. Aside from being a prime location, this is one of the only places in Boston that is dog friendly! You can bring your own food, order from the shops nearby or support vendors at BRB. Their tap list rotates often so there is always something new to try. Additionally, they always have different events going on and varying vendors at the brewery. The vibes here are unmatched, especially for the area ( Q can be a bit sleepy). We need more places like BRB in Quincy.“
