Fun spot right in the city for local beers, live music and just a general fun place to be. There's plenty of beer, mixed drinks, and N/A drinks to choose from at the 10 plus stands around the "yard". It definitely gets hot in the summer so find a spot in the shade, but there's lots of tables and umbrellas too. The only bathrooms are unfortunately portapotties, but they were even pretty clean too. There's a few food trucks too if you get hungry. They have some yards games like giant Kenya and cornhole so it's a fun place for a group of to meet new friends. read more

This was a great hang-out spot for a summer afternoon in the city with friends! They have a ton of drink options, including some NA brews. There was also plenty of seating even on 4th of July weekend, but we did have trouble finding a table in the shade. I'd love to come back at night and enjoy the atmosphere when it's a bit cooler out. read more

Cisco Seaport - Inside - Beer Gardens Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I attended a large private event at Cisco and had a nice time, regardless of the rain. This is an outdoor beer garden. They have many beer/food stalls, tables, and a tented area as well. It would have been great to experience it on a day without rain, but alas. The staff working were nice. Unsure about pricing since the event included 2 comped drink tickets. read more

Love this place, summer and winter, great vibes, drinks, snacks, and shops!! We visit a few times a year. read more

It's Cisco! If you know you know. Go for the brews and views. Nothing else matters. 'Nuff said read more

I'll say that most of the stars are for the vibe and ambiance. It's very chill. You grab a picnic table, head up to one of the many trucks serving beer and other drinks, grab some apps and then just chill. For drinks, they have beer, cider, and cocktails with vodka, gin, tequila. For food options, there were three trucks - tacos, sushi, and clam shack. We got the pineapple express (vodka with pineapple juice and ginger) and the mint giniper (gin, mint, soda) both with no ice. For eats, we just split an order of old bay fries worth a couple of different dips. The mint giniper was strong, I'll give it that but neither of the drinks were my favorite. I wouldn't order them again. Especially at a price tag of $14. The fries were excellent. Crisp, tasty, and piping hot. We also came here late in the evening around 8 and I'm betting that's why we had a very pleasant time. read more

I paid $8 for a water. Consider my thirst quenched, but my pocketbook unsatiated. I mean it is good vibes essentially just drinking in a parking lot kind of like a college football tailgate. Super crowded the day we went but I can't say it tickled our turtle toes. Maybe not the place for us! read more

This is such an amazing place. I have been in Boston for several years and did not know a wonderful gem like this existed. I was coming out of the Envoy hotel and decided to walk down the waterfront. There were large crowds of people gathered outside tonight enjoying the wonderful weather. All the restaurants were packed. I recently heard some music playing nearby and wanted to check it out. It seemed this was a large beer garden in the middle of the waterfront. I went inside right away and checked it out. The main thing I love about this place is the location. You are surrounded by large office buildings everywhere. I love the modern construction designs which gives it a great ambiance. The actual beer garden is spread out and has a summertime rooftop feel despite being on the ground. They have several drink options and lots of games. I went ahead and ordered a southern mule while I played cornhole with some new friends. Everything was packed and it was fairly easily to meet and talk to new people here. If I knew about this place before I would have come here more often. This is now on my agenda every time I am in Boston. read more

Come when there's live music! Always a great time at the beer garden with games, live music, and the ocean breeze. read more

We don't know how we ended up here but we did and not was it a trip. Before entering we were given wristbands and had to dump out our waters into a giant Home Depot bucket, interesting. I had the blueberry vodka Nantucket seltzer and it was delicious. Not too fizzy and not super sweet either. I'll definitely have to check out this brand when I get home. Overall, it was nice for a quick pop in and pop out but it was very crowded and busy with the post work, post college crew so be aware. read more

Had the best time at Cisco Brewery! The vibe was super fun and drinks were great!! Jimmy was really accommodating and made sure our group had everything we needed! Can't wait to come back! read more

Guys at the entrance were completely rude and disrespectful. Mixed drinks were canned cocktails. Super ordinary. Locally made spirits were mediocre at best. Crowd was mostly a bunch of yuppys and preppy types. Void of diversity or culture. Definitely not how the rest of our Boston experience has been so far, thankfully. read more

This place is cool and all cuz they have cornhole and overpriced food trucks and stuff but they don't have TAP WATER. Like if I'm buying a brewski I'm gonna want water to stay hydrated. I go up to the beer woman to get some water and she say to me "hey Oren we don't have any tap water but you can buy liquid death" and then i say "is liquors death just normal water?" And then she say "yea it's mountain water" and then I thought in my head "bruh, I don't need boujee water I just want to stay hydrated and stuff because I'm a healthy boy". So in the end I bought the $6 water because I gave in. Overall, chiller vibes and live music (I saw a fake Zachary Bryan). read more

Came on a weekday after work and had a good amount of work crowd. Cisco brewery opens in seaport only for the summer! They have both drinks (beer, cocktails and non alcoholic drinks) and food and games such as cornhole you can play. read more

Would not recommend this place. This place is not welcoming to POC. I would save my money and go somewhere else.

bad customer service, wanted a Coke Zero and got kicked out. for being Irish I suppose they don't know much. Much distaste Lesley read more

Great place to go in the weekend with your friends or family! Nice vibe but sometimes there is no music! Would be perfect if they had a dj! read more

Cisco Seaport - Outside area ciscos - Beer Gardens Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had such high hopes for this outside brewery, but felt let down after coming here. Stopped by on Saturday night, luckily did not have to wait in a line to get in (not the norm). I was looking forward to the live music but was told the band called out last minute. I also didn't realize the games (ex. cornhole) are not out at night; only during the day. I was disappointed to find out they didn't have any sour beers because that's all I drink. Instead I had expensive margaritas in a can- nothing but sugar and maybe a splash of tequila. Important to also note, during the week this brewery draws a "middle aged crowd" (over 30 years of age), but on the weekends, seems to only draw 21 year olds. (Perfectly fine if you're 21!!!) Note: do NOT go on a 90 degree day, there is minimal shade and you will burn/sweat to death. read more

Food aka Alcohol was great lol. Service was cheerful and nice, the ambiance is great cause you're out doors in the city drinking. I will always come to this spot whenever I'm in boston read more

Fun drinks and atmosphere. There was a line, but it moved relatively quickly. Lots of vendors for drinks, a few food options. read more

Been here more times than I can count. 100% recommend if you're visiting Boston. Super cute atmosphere, always crowded and good energy in the summer. Fun during the day and at night. Live music too. Food is overpriced I wouldn't eat here and drinks are overpriced but i always just get a couple drinks here and have a good time I feel like it's worth it. Wouldn't eat here though. read more

Cisco is a great option if you have a large group of friends or coworkers that you want to have a chill hangout with (and not need a reservation). The line can be long but it moves pretty quickly. I like the cocktails and I appreciate that they take Apple Pay. read more

Was bar hopping around and decided to come here. Loved the outdoor vibes! They are a pop up beer garden until about the second week of October. Great selection of beers to choose from both on draft and cans. Great to come with a group of friends or for a date night. Love the chill vibes! read more

Cisco Seaport - Outside venue - Beer Gardens Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is awesome. They have a distillery, winery and brewery in Nantucket so there is truly something for everyone here. Plenty of seating and open space to stand for when it gets crowded. Great spot to go after work or on the weekend with a group of friends. Pro tip: Be prepared to wait in line during busy times, this place is always poppin. Not pet friendly so that's the only reason I removed a star. They used to be a few years ago so would love to be able to have my dog here since it's all outside. Getting here can be a little tricky if you don't live in seaport but so worth it. They also have a great merch tent if you end up really loving their drinks and want to rep it around town. They do have plenty of shaded areas, a taco food truck and port-a-potty bathrooms too. Overall great vibe. Must go spot in this area. read more

Excellent beer and cocktail selection. Very much a Gen Y crowd. The only Gen X and Boomers present were parents of the Gen Y'ers. You've been warned if you're over 30. read more

Nice atmosphere and great set up. Really cool place to grab a drink before going out in Boston. Main thing that makes this place hard to like is the price. Almost $40 for 2 drinks? Canned beverages and mixed drinks alike are WAY over priced. If money is not an issue this place is amazing. read more

A cute spot to stop by on a nice day! They had a couple of food trucks there for a quick bite! I'm like 90% sure that all the counters have the same drink menu though I decided to get a beer even though beers aren't my jam but unfortunately didn't like it. I'll def get one of their hard teas or wines next time! The area has both seated and standing tables. You just have to secure one yourself. Also spotted a few dogs! read more

Cisco Seaport - Beer Gardens Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a dope beer garden/hang out spot in the Seaport District for the warmer months in Boston. Great to meet up with friends or to make new ones. People here are pretty friendly and there's a variety of beer options of course. I don't believe there's a ton of food options though, I only remember seeing one taco truck. I came on a Friday night and it was packed, but there weren't any long lines to grab a drink which is ideal. They also have corn hole and plenty of room to stand or sit. Would come here again and again! read more

Great spot for day drinking with the out door and umbrella set-up! Note that there is just one food truck onsite but you are in the middle of Seaport to grab something else and come back. My suggestion is to go there early when they open to get a table because they fill up quickly. read more

Cisco Seaport - Drink options - Beer Gardens Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The atmosphere at this brewery was nice: turf with picnic tables set up and a dj playing music. However, they require you to order food if you want to buy a drink. I had just come from a big brunch and was forced to choose something to order just to get a drink. They only had packaged salads, pizza and cheese bread as food options as well. I got the Cesar's salad which was $9 for a bowl of mostly lettuce. Some of the drinks on the menu are listed in both the drafts and can section. I didn't notice this when I ordered, and intended to order the draft beer, but instead got a can because the server didn't ask for clarification. My friend ordered the hot spiked apple cider was tasty, with white wine as the spike. This place was decent, but I would try other breweries before coming back again. read more

Great outdoor beer garden with live music, lawn games, food trucks, craft beer. Was here on a Tuesday night and the country band was crushing it- and then they played Radiohead's "Creep" and the place just went nuts. Great craft beer, good for groups, but seriously gets crowded on weekend nights (was in the area on a Friday night and the line snaked down the block). Still, a great place to unwind in the great outdoors, and Boston does great pop up beer gardens. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Seaport! Vibes: think rooftop terrace, except you're actually on the ground. This beer garden is ALWAYS packed. Drinks run a bit pricey, but hey, you're in the expensive-er part of Boston (wait. what. how is that possible? it just is). You'll always find yourself chasing down a puppy, not because it's an off-leashed dog beer garden, because THERE ARE SO MANY DOGS. I'm always disappointed if I'm not performing my favorite activity. There is always live music, food vendors ie: Luke's Lobsters, and a handful of beers and wines. Unfortunately, don't expect liquor, as they do not serve it here. read more

Cisco Seaport is a fun spot for larger groups. Not a ton of seating so be prepared to potentially stand if you come during a busier weekend time. I appreciate that they have beer, wine, and cocktail options, as well as small bites, so there really is something for everyone here. I came on Sunday and enjoyed the live music that was going on during the afternoon. The drinks did seem slightly overpriced for the very casual ambiance, but does make sense for the Seaport area. read more

Why can't this be open all year round! I absolutely loved this place. Great outdoor music, games, food and drinks. What else is there?! The tacos were especially yummy! We went for a friend's birthday and everyone had a great time. It can get a bit packed but nothing too bad. If you have any people in your party who don't love beer, they have a lot of different options like spritzers and a wine bar too. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

My friend and I were drawn to the crowd on our recent trip to Boston. The Cisco brewery and outdoor space were very cool and chill for a Saturday afternoon. There was a variety of beers, hard teas, wine, and wine cocktails being served. I had a Cisco hard tea and it was good, nothing crazy. My friend enjoyed a wine cocktail and there was live music. Definitely gave off Pier 13 vibes if you've ever been to Hoboken, NJ, but this just wasn't on the water. Cool pitspot! read more

I hit this spot up with some coworkers after work. When we arrived it was SWARMING with people. We probably got there around 6:20ish so like some of the other yelp reviews eluded to, getting there between 5pm and 6pm might be best. Great area for groups. They have live music, lawn games, food trucks, beer, wine, and you can bring your dogs! Yeah there were tons of dogs there, I probably saw 5 within 30 minutes. If you get claustrophobic you might not enjoy it here as much as we were tightly squeezed into an area near one of the beer stands. Also there are so many people walking in and out and back and forth that it is impossible not to get bumped every now and then. Just be sure to hold onto your beer very tightly. If you haven't guessed it yet, yes I did drop my beer . In terms of the beer and pizza, I thought it was a bit over priced. Beer was about $7 and the pizza was $6 for cheese and $7 for pepperoni. The slices of pizza are pretty large but thin. I'll admit...they were pretty delicious. So delicious that I forgot to take a pic of a full slice and ended up taking one of what little was left. Hope it still helps!! read more

Came here on a Thursday evening after stuffing ourselves full of seafood at dinner. The beer garden was getting full of people but there were still plenty of places to sit down. The only open stations were the Cisco beers, which were 90% IPAs. This is typical for the Massachusetts beer scene it seems, but after seeing the setup a few days, we expected to be able to get wine, hard tea, etc. None of those stations were open unfortunately. The bathrooms were a giant row of porter potties and I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of them so that was a plus! Other reviews mentioned having a server - we didn't have a server, we just served ourselves. Maybe that's only certain days/times? We didn't mind getting our own drinks. We drank our two beers and left. The whole Boston beer scene was a major disappointment to us in general - we like light lagers, wheat beers, etc. - easy drinkin' stuff. Sam Adams Summer Ale was probably the best drink we found and we can buy that back home. This town was fulllll of IPAs and everything was so heavy, hoppy, and just not our style. read more
