The place itself is really cool and chill. Cornhole, TV with N64 and 4 controllers with a number of party games set up to play, and good spicy chili for your nacho bar snack. Unfortunately the beers were all on the lighter side. It is a good place to chill and have some light beers but I enjoy more full-bodied beers. So I don't think I will be coming back for the beers.

Portico has quickly become a favorite brewery & hang out spot amongst my friends, and for good reason. The beers are well made and have a good variety, the staff is incredibly friendly & welcoming, and the space is excellent. Whether lounging in an arm chair outside, playing board games with friends at a table inside, or battling your friends in Mario party on the N64, there are plenty of ways to spend a lazy afternoon/evening here. Despite the numerous rave reviews, they have a good amount of space and it is rarely super crowded - so absolutely swing by and check it out!

one of My Favorite spots in Somerville. The great beer and staff equal the reasons why I visit! My dog also walks me here often, and insists on an extra round (with her water bowl). Both she and I recommend the nachos (her just the chips). I swear this isn't AI or some insane person - just check this place out!

Great brewery doing more than just the hazy/NE IPAs, which is refreshing for the Boston area. Had a great conversation with the owner and staff. The place is in a great location and is perfect for hanging out with friends. Portico is definitely worth checking out!

I love portico! The atmosphere, beer and food is absolutely amazing. An added bonus is that their staff are super friendly and informative on their brews! Such a cool local spot to drink and chat with your friends!

This brewery is so nice and deserves more traffic. There is nice indoor/outdoor atmosphere and seating. The beers are really good with a nice variety. They also make a cool beer with a little used Ethiopian grain! It's super cool and kind of tastes like a lager. They can accommodate smaller and medium sized groups. The service was fantastic! Highly recommend!

This was my third visit to this place. Once on my own for apps, second for a company function and this time I went there for a hot dog to go. Service was a bit slow but the person that took my order was nice but was too chatty and very slow to see me trying to get her attention to order, pay, give me the food long after it came out. There was only one patron at the bar hut 2 people working and the third sitting at the bar.
The cook kept touching her hair with no hair net nor gloves on. She at least used tongs on the hotdog but not the bread so I didn't eat the bread.
There was what looked like a middle aged woman sitting at the bar that kept staring at me and not in a flattering way, she soon got up and went behind the bar to work. Very unfriendly and seemed to have an attitude with me for reasons unknown to me. Then, when I got my hot dog to go, there were no condiments in the box. So this lady with an attitude was the only one near for me to ask for ketchup. She said without even looking up they don't have ketchup. I thought it was odd as I've ordered a hotdog there before and got ketchup. When I questioned it asking if she was sure cause they are selling hotdogs so maybe there is some around. She said let me ask the kitchen and then came back and said we dont have any. She was very cold in her delivery but that's the vibe I got from her as soon as I walked in and she kept staring. No worries I won't return!
I won't spend my money there as I've been disappointed twice now after going there. First, with the chicken quesadeliia for like $15 that was the size of a small grilled cheese sandwich and it tasted horrible. I prefer cooks not touchng their hair and pulling up their pants every minute while preparing my food and especially with no gloves on. Their grape spritzer is not for me but if you like beer it may be the place for you. To the establishment , No worries I won't return! Now I see why my coworkers frown anytime someone mentions the idea of going there for drinks and apps.

Great beer selection and wonderful staff! These people are so friendly and the beers tasted wonderful. Highly recommend for the atmosphere and beer selection. The Wabi Sabi was amazing!
Really good variety of beers that they brew in house.

Great service and beer! I love the indoor outdoor feel and so my games and things to do for kids! The courtyard area is nice and the street is quiet which makes for a nice gathering space.

I’ve been going here since it opened. Great beer, super friendly staff, cool music, good decor and even fun video games to play.
But after today, I’m not going back. I counted 20 children and 15 adults when I walked in. Constant screaming. 2 of the children were even sitting at the bar. The staff asked them to attend to their kids and the parents rolled their eyes. None of the kids were even writhing 20 feet of an adult. It was chaos.
I left with a headache from all the screaming kids.

I had a very nice time at Portico. Great beer, great space, nice staff. There’s a Nintendo 64 inside if the weather is gross. Check it out!
