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

Went here after work for some drinks with coworkers and really enjoyed being in a little beer oasis nestled in between the tall Seaport buildings. I love what Cisco Brewery has done here -- inviting local food vendors to come share in the fun and providing a laidback after work gathering place outdoors. It does get a bit jam packed here but lines move quickly and the playful pups walking around and the cornhole games make for a fun time. Get there a little early (between 5-6) and you can beat the crowds a bit and try a slice of pizza from the giant oven onsite. I'll definitely be back here again before the summer ends! 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

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

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

We stopped in here on a beautiful Sunday while riding bikes around the city. Unfortunately, we were unable to bring our bikes into the Cisco space, but luckily they had somebody standing out front to watch them. I have been to the actual Cisco brewery on Nantucket, and although this place was super fun, it definitely does not take the place of the brewery. It was pretty packed, as you can see from the picture, since it was a sunny day and everybody wanted to be outside. They had beers on tap, beers in a can and this amazing Frosé (frozen rose). They also had food trucks that served pizza and lobster rolls! I bet they change out the food every so often. I could've spent the whole day here if I had the time! If you have a day where you want to relax and drink beer all day in the sun, then this place is for you! Better yet, bring your pals! read more

Really fun large outdoor brewery in the Seaport. It's dog friendly which is always a huge plus. They have delicious pizza made in a stone brick oven. The pizza isn't anything special but it's so convenient and quick that it's perfect with the beet. On top of that they even have live music. There's a lot of beer/wine stands so it's great for keeping the lines short. read more

I thought the beer selection could have been a little better for being a brewery (hint, they need a sour!). The mixed drinks were made with wine which was also odd. I'm giving four stars for vibe and atmosphere though. It felt so good being in the city with human beings again! The brewery is outdoor and right in the middle of the seaport. Great vibe and energy. read more

Not only do they have live performances, but you can have a competitive match of cornhole while you drink your beer, frose, or cocktail. The drink I highly recommend is their Wandering Haze--if you like full-bodied, medium bitterness, and tropical fruits. If it is a beautiful day out, I would try going around opening time. On the weekends, it gets SOO packed that there's barely any standing room. Overall, highly recommend for a good time! read more

You have to love a beer garden, particularly one that offers beer PLUS wine, hard teas, and food trucks! The only downside to this place (and it's a doozy) is the portapotties. They do have the portable stands where you can wash hands, but it reminds me of the final day at a music festival rather than an upscale beer garden in the Seaport. It's worst at night because you cannot see inside them at all unless you want to keep your phone out and risk dropping it into the abyss. Aside from the bathroom flaw, this is a great spot. It's surprisingly large and has multiple bars, food trucks, and games. It also has plenty of seating and is great for large groups. read more

Must try spot in Seaport! Really cool place to go after work or spend a weekend afternoon. Tons of great beer options plus a wide variety of cocktails and non beer drinks for it being a brewery. Food trucks available too. Try a Nantucket Cran cocktail! Nice and refreshing. read more

My first outdoor beer garden! I was pleasantly surprised and lucky, as the weather was not too hot and I found parking in seaport fairly fast. I got the frozen sangria and it was sweet, which I liked but it was a bit expensive for it being 12 dollars for a small amount. I was able to get a couple games in for corn hole as there was no line. They do have a more variety of drinks, as well as food including pizza and lobster rolls. They also have live music and a good amount of ports-potties with plenty of hand sanitizer. A good place to hang with buddies and socialize! read more

BEWARE - The beverages and location is great but management needs to change. The reviews about their staff and management are rude and unprofessional, perhaps racist. My friend had an expired license meanwhile the young blond in the front got in with a student ID. Does that even make sense? The reviews with 2 stars or less in this yelp reviews are absolutely correct. Employees are here not helpful and extremely unprofessionally which leads me to think it's management. Its a creepy environment, beware ladies. #sendhelp I went next door to Tuscan Kitchen and they allowed my party in without discriminating. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening, not too crowded and didn't have to wait. No troubles with security or service but I could see how other reviewers found them to be poor as the security seemed a bit aggressive/rude. You are required to purchase food with your drinks per MA law. They have oath pizza for food which was pretty good; the waiter even recommended to us what to order if we just wanted something small and cheap. We got a beer for $7.50 and hot spiked cider for $10.50. The hot cider was good but nothing too special. The environment is quite chill and nice to hang out with friends. COVID precautions were good with spaced tables and QR code menu. Would recommend as a place to meet up and catch up with friends, but drinks and food are nothing special. read more

Amazing atmosphere. Walked over here by mistake and found this place and immediately wanted to sit down. They play very reggae type music- super relaxing and inviting. The beers are super different and delicious. Try the frosè!!!! It's delicious. The waitresses are so sweet and very knowledgeable on the beers they have. From the moment I met the hostess to the end of my experience, I was happy to be there. A must see if you're in Boston! read more

My friends ID was taken by a bouncer even though she is of age. The bouncer took the ID to "check it" and never came back. Now she has to travel domestically with her passport the next week. This is a college bar with college patrons - expect to be treated as such. read more

Decent setup, but the service was really disappointing. Ordered the wheat beer, and I really didn't like it at all because it had coriander in it. I brought the beer back asking if I could get a different one, and was told no, and it was my fault for not asking if it had coriander. After tax and tip (really wished I hadn't tipped) I was out almost $10 and only had a couple sips. read more

PSA: They do NOT allow non-service dogs as of April 2022. Love the bar, but but bringing my dog with me was the best part :\ hope the city changes the policy by the summer. read more

Fun outdoor beer garden in Seaport with a great selection of beers, wines and spritzes. Currently they're serving several varieties in a can, as well as some on tap. The Oath pizza truck has also been parked and available recently for when you need some food to munch on. Great for a date or catching up with friends, Cisco is in a big open space that catches a nice breeze from the water. There's even a trailer set up selling some fun, nautical merch if you're in need of a new brewery hat or shirt. As of lately, they've been first come first serve to get in. read more

Want to hang out with all the bros and see random dogs in the summer? Then this is the place to be. Huge lines to get in and expensive beers, ah yes this is the experience. Come with a polo, boat shoes, and khaki shorts and you are sure to blend in. Great spot to hang out in warm weather with an ice cold beer in a clear plastic cup or.. Frose!? I remember they had a frozen rose, which is probably something you don't find everywhere. Can mingle with all the professionals who work near seaport or random college kids. read more

Cisco Seaport is a nice venue and one I would consider returning too. Bring your wallet. Beers are expensive at $7.50 a piece for a 12 oz. Cocktails are available along with slushees. I'm knocking a star off because my pizza arrived cold and wasn't fantastic. No excuse for that on a summer night. read more

Fun pop up brewery in Boston's up and coming Seaport. No hard liquor but they get creative with their cocktails, so even if you aren't an avid beer drinker, you can definitely find something you would like. Overall good vibes, go with a fun crew on a nice day, and you can't beat it. read more

Fun, sunny, open-air spot to grab an after-work drink with booming Seaport as your backdrop. The roped-off space features several Cisco booths serving up a small selection of canned Cisco beers ($7), local wines ($9), and frosé ($11?). Plus, there are also some good food vendors mixed in such as Loco Taqueria. We grabbed chips & guac from there, and while yummy, they were a shocking $11. There was also live music and corn hole! All in all, I couldn't ask for a better spot to unwind on a Friday after a long week. read more

Had drinks and food. Drinks were good. Had nacho tots and tacos- were ready quickly and were satisfying. Oddly enough they only check bags if you are a woman. I was with a man and his bag was bigger than mine (I had a wallet clutch only), and they only looked in mine. Questionable policy. read more

Before I even get into the beer or food, this place went so far out of their way to do the right thing and enforce property social distancing policies during the pandemic...I can't begin to express how impressed I was and how grateful I am for that. Great location, great setup, can't say enough good things about our experience here tonight read more

Rude bartenders who make snarky comments and got food poisoning from the taco stand threw up for days!!! I haven't felt so sick in a long time. I only like this place when I'm with a big group of friends. read more

Worst customer service in Boston. Hands down. Would never go back here again and would not recommend anyone to go here. Wanted to file a complaint and asked employees for names which they refused to give. Have never been treated so badly by any establishment ever. Apparently, they will kick someone out for simply dropping their phone. According to them, a person who drops their phone must be overly intoxicated, despite the fact that there were much more intoxicated people inside. They said it was a "judgement call" but it seems like pretty shit judgement to me with a total lack of accountability. While it seems cool, ultimately the horrible employees ruin it. Would give this place a 0/5 for the experience they gave us. Whole heartily would recommend anyone thinking to go here to change their plans. read more

I absolutely LOVE this spot. Went for my birthday with a bunch of friends on a sunny August Saturday. Not too crowded at the start of the afternoon, but definitely gets busy! Beers are tasty but there are a lot of other drink options too. Loco tacos were delicious and there were also other food trucks set up. Lawn games, lots of doggos, a pop-up shop. What else could you ask for?! read more

What a disappointing experience. Was asked to sit outside in the rain. Was lectured for sitting down even though we had wristbands from earlier. Avoid bouncer with glasses. He got very angry very quickly. read more

I have absolutely loved visiting the Seaport to go to Ciscos over the past two summers to enjoy amazing beer and good times. Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience the last time I visited around 2 weeks ago. My friends had gotten up to use the bathroom and when they returned to their table, their beers were gone. No big deal-maybe the staff thought they had left and were just doing their jobs. I went to tell the staff by the entrance what had happened and a staff member, a young man probably in his twenties, responded very rudely to us. He told us he needed "proof" we weren't lying. We don't need to lie to get free beer, we have money and are willing to spend it but it's disappointing when staff members treat you this way. The bartenders were great, super funny and nice but the staff/bouncers at the door, particularly this one young man, treated us with absolute disrespect. read more

If you care at all about customer service -- Bring your money elsewhere. There's plenty of other bars and breweries walking distance that will treat you better. Especially as a minority. read more

Such a great, fun place! I love the "beer garden" concept in the middle of a big city - really cool and unique.

Atmosphere was super fun with live music, string lights, and games - I'd definitely recommend! read more

Cisco Seaport...The oasis for people who did not want to stand at Trillium, and prefer their beers pulled from a frosty chest and cracked from a sweating can. This is a staple of the now way too expensive Seaport District of Boston. Not a beer fan but your friends are and you couldn't handle another night of Netflix and questionable Thai? Cisco offers wine, seltzers, and great food trucks for the less hop-influenced members of society. They are usually supporting a musician who came close to making it, and beers are served fast at the lunch-lady-esc center bar. The astroturf adds a special flair in case you have 7 Whale's Tails and want to time a quick 100m dash. The best part of Cisco, outside of the sundresses and damn good beer? Dogs. There are floof pups everywhere! Man's best friend and the ultimate icebreaker hang out on a trendy leash and occasionally toss insults at newbies. If you find yourself stranded and alone after being stood up on a date (this is a true story), the occasional head pat of the passing good boy or girl helps ease the pain of the Wild West that is online dating. I digress, from the casual beer drinker to the guy who is literally still talking about Trillium's line, Cisco is a must. Go on a nice summer Boston night and enjoy the streamed lights that get nice and fuzzy as the cover band plays. -GIART read more
