Mighty Squirrel Biergarten - Arsenal Yards

Thank you for coming to Arsenal Yards!!! What a nice edition to this family friendly area. My family and I have been pleasantly surprised by Mighty Squirrel and have visited this place many times.

First, I love the ambiance of this place. It’s so big and open. I love their outdoor space. I’ve only been here in the summer, so I’ll be interested to see how they’ll use their space in the wintertime.

Second, the beers and other beverages are so yummy!!! I love that you can get small versions on most of the beers. I also love that they serve coffee and fresh juices. What a treat for any occasion. Their food is pretty good too … especially their fish tacos. They are craveable and better than most taco places!!! I do wish, however, they had some flatbread options. That would really make this place amazinggggg!!!

And last and most importantly, their service is impeccable. They get pretty busy but have always tried to accommodate seating. I also superrrrr appreciate that they are baby/toddler/kid friendly. Like … so patient and no dirty looks. You’d be surprised how many places automatically judge you when they see a stroller pull up. This really makes this place shine and stand out cuz honestly, who needs a a drink with a nice vibe more than moms and dads of kiddos.

Our Band on the Run trivia team went on a road-trip. The 5 of us split some wings (sweet and spicy), potato’s bravas ( great spicy tomato sauce), and charcuterie board ( loved the fig jam with goat cheese) . Our server Craig was fantastic as was the beer.My favorite is the Spicy Paloma but Unhazed was also a new hit, though Shifter only drinks Cloud Candy which he calls a Mighty Squirrel!! The background music was all music I loved at a level 5 dudes, from 30-69 years old, could all hear each catching up on the weekends going’s on. I could also glance up at the baseball game easily on the plethora of large tv sets on the walls, though the Sox had the night off so the Yankees were on. Still a fantastic time! Well done Mighty Squirrel!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mighty Squirrel Taproom and Tapas is an absolute gem! Whether you’re a longtime fan of their brews or just discovering them, this location takes the experience to a whole new level. The vibe is warm, lively, and inviting with a beautiful indoor space that balances cozy and modern perfectly. The outdoor space is perfect for chilling on a hot summer day, especially with their expansive patio.

The beer? Consistently fantastic. From juicy IPAs to crisp lagers and creative hard smoothies and hard seltzers, there’s always something exciting on tap. And the new tapas menu? Game-changer. Every small plate was packed with flavor and paired beautifully with our drinks. The poke bowl was so fresh and full of flavors. You can tell there’s real thought and quality behind every dish.

Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Sean, my server was such a pleasure and very attentive. Billie, one of the bartenders has such a bright personality and knows her beer. Honestly, each and every employee I interacted with made me feel taken care of from the moment I walked in. Whether you’re grabbing a beer and bite with friends or settling in for a date night, Mighty Squirrel Taproom and Tapas delivers a top-tier experience. Can’t wait to come back!

If you have allergies, stay away!! Their allergen menu (on request) gives a false sense of security by including a wide range of allergens found in their food. But it’s not actually accurate in the slightest. As an example, their queso and clam chowder are both marked as dairy free… which staff later confirmed isn’t true.

When I asked the hostess if I could get more accurate allergen information, she responded, “I’ve asked them to update the allergen info before and they won’t do it. I won’t even let my kids eat here.”

If you have any food sensitivities, stay away!!

An amazing place to relax and enjoy beer and good food with friends. Excellent service. Juliana made our evening more interesting by being kind, patient and very knowledgeable about the menu. Thank you and we will be back.

On a beautiful day, this place is incredible. The space itself is wonderful.

The food is overpriced, but at least it tastes good. There is just not enough of it for what you pay for.

The service has nothing to complain about, but also nothing to gush over either.

Where it really fails in the menu itself. Whomever wrote the beerlist needs a good hard slap. There is no description of the beers beyond the style.

I would never have ordered a GroveStand IPA if I knew it was grapefruit. I HATE Grapefruit. Absolute shameful failure of a beer list. Be warned.

Similar to the other Mighty Squirrel locations, it's a family friendly space that has a large outdoors area as well as seating inside. The beer is good but the service was confusing. The outdoor tables are table service but their blue chairs are first come first serve. The hostess provided us menus and told us that a server will come by to take our orders. We waited over 10 minutes while many staff members walked past us without even acknowledging us. A couple next to us came around the same time and also were never acknowledged. We ultimately just ordered at the bar and brought it back to our seats which is fine, but it didn't seem like that was the preferred option. It would be helpful to have a clearer understanding of how to order vs. if it's okay to just order at the bar inside.

One bartender completely ignored me then the other was eating food and chatting with customers before serving, took over 5 minutes to get a beer when it was pretty dead.

SHIVER ME TIMBERS AND Squirrel My Nuts! The Maine Lobster Roll - w/Japanese Mayo! Excellent twist. Get the samples for their IPA’s to get a great paring with food. For those customers who don’t have the patience for delays…. Give the place a couple of weeks to settle down and work out the kinks in service. The staff is amazing and your experience will be great.

The patatas bravas was 11/10, so so good and fresh and delicately made. Tyler made us feel so welcome and was patient in answering all of our questions and made our experience even much better. Would love to come back!
