"Slip by Trillium’s beer-drinking crowds and venture upstairs at the brewery’s Fort Point location for a very different drinking experience. Headroom, a new listening lounge and cocktail bar featuring Trillium’s just-launched line of spirits, is a cool, moody escape. Sip the foamy Legend Has It (blueberry, amaro, lemon) or the Barrel Thief, featuring rich, barbecue fat-washed whiskey, while listening to tunes from an ever-rotating cast of DJs spinning vinyl records in the room. Follow Headroom on Instagram to see who’s on deck each week." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"Crowd-favorite Boston brewery Trillium has added a swanky new listening bar, Headroom Hi-Fi Lounge, to its Fort Point outpost. There’s a range of cocktails featuring spirits from Trillium’s own distillery, plus latkes, tinned fish from Island Creek Oysters, and more to munch on." - Erika Adams

What an amazing space! Don’t wait-Make a reservation and then come back a read this review. The atmosphere here has that nightclub feel with class! Many different seating areas, leather chairs and comfy sofas with bricks wall all surrounding you with a Dj spinning vinyl records. This is a great place to grab drinks listen to music and share time with tamping your foot, bobbing your head as the music fills your ears.

Great drinks, snacks, and atmosphere. I came in on a Saturday evening with no reservation. Alone, I chose the bar. The oysters were fresh and clean. Tinned mussels and its well paired accompanied sides provided a great snack. I tried two cocktails - which I totally forget their names were beautifully presented. They make many spirits in house. I thought that was cool. The vibe would be great for a date night.

Love the ambiance up here, feels like such a cozy and private nook tucked away from the typical Trillium festivities downstairs. Highly recommend you check this space out at least once if you’re at the brewery at Fort Point! Cocktails are very fun, though I was biased towards the Wild Sinister Kid wild ale from Trillium’s typical menu. For lighter fare, the deviled eggs were my favorite, and the latkes aren’t half bad either :)

New listening lounge from Trillium in Seaport. Hidden away on the second floor of the Trillium building, Headroom Hi-Fi offers a unique space that's a world apart from the bustling brewery downstairs. The vibe isn’t quite the speakeasy some people describe—it’s more of a laid-back lounge, perfectly suited for its purpose as a listening lounge. Instead of typical ceiling speakers, the music flowed from a Hi-Fi system at the center, surrounded by colorful shelves filled with LPs. During our Friday evening visit, the DJ wasn’t a big name, so the place was completely empty—we had the entire space to ourselves while the first floor and rooftop were buzzing. We kicked off our evening with the Deviled Eggs and Scallop Crudo. The deviled eggs, crowned with crispy chicken cracklings and a dusting of charred onion ashes, delivered a devilishly good umami punch and a satisfying crunch. On the flip side, the Scallop Crudo was a bit underwhelming. The delicate flavor of the scallop was lost in the heat of Fresno and Serrano peppers and the robust citrus and salt seasoning. From the larger plates, our favorites were the Burattini and the Chicken Rillette. The Burattini, served in the form of a mini tart, was incredibly fresh, and I especially loved the cold, tangy punch from the Cherry Tomato Escabeche. The Rillettes got a subtle, fragrant upgrade with dill and lettuce drizzled with olive oil, and pairing it with toasted bread, pepper relish, and pickled vegetables was extremely satisfying. The Lamb and Pork Belly were solid, but nothing in particular stood out. The cocktail selection here offered something different from the house cocktails downstairs, and my favorite was the Legend Has It. As advertised, it was silky smooth, with a sweetness that lingered pleasantly at the finish. Overall, a great concept. Listening lounges have been trending since last year, and vibe-wise, this spot definitely holds its own compared to others I’ve visited. However, the contrast with the bars on the other floors might make people hesitant to wander in on a whim. That said, the drinks and food at Trillium are already top-notch among local breweries, and Headroom Lounge takes it up a notch. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Surprising. I’m a little jaded by the Boston cocktail scene and vinyl bars have been popping up. The atmosphere, drinks, food and dj felt intentional and thoughtful. Not sure who made the drink and food menus but everything I tried was exceptional. The gougeres, chicken rillette and pork belly were finger licking good. The cocktails were innovative in a world where craft cocktails are the norm. The bar staff were knowledgeable and friendly. It’s on the second floor of Trillium. Overall I want to come back and try the rest of the menu!

A cool speakeasy/cocktail bar on 2nd floor of Trillium. We were trying to find the door and finally realized that it’s inside Trillium. Just ask the host on the 1st floor when you walked into Trillium. Great deco and vibe to have a DJ playing old records. Food and cocktails were great too! The only complaint I had was the table was too small for us to have cocktails and food. They should just seat customers in the bigger tables for those who are having dinners. It’s not that relaxing when the food came fast, and we had to finish our existing plates as there aren’t any room for more big plates to the cocktail table. It’s just their first month, and hoping they work out all the logistics for services. We will definitely be back.

Solid experience! Interesting dishes- highly recommend the chicken rilette and burratini. Drinks also were very tasty, cool vibe overall.

Definitely seems like a neat place on the surface, but we had several complaints. Overall it was not great— I wouldn’t go back. The salad (main dish) was just romaine lettuce (extremely tiny dish) and didn’t come with the ingredients it said it would on the menu (little gem lettuce). They don’t have any brand-name spirits (liquor), and the “vodka martini with a twist” we ordered was very warm and tasted like death, resulting in a massive headache the next day. The other cocktails were all less than half-full in their glasses. For $16, each cocktail was like a teaspoon that could be consumed in one gulp. The lighting is very odd. It’s like dark (black walls, no ambient lights), but then intermittent spotlights (tiny harsh recessed lights) attacked us, basically investigation-style. It did not have a lounge feel at all because we were forced into assigned tables— originally we (4 people) were in a awful booth, and then we were at a 6-top low table flooded with people around us, more typical of a ski lodge cafeteria (several longs tables bunched up). It’d be better with high-top 4-person tables with occasional high chairs. The music vibe was great, and I liked the DJ and decor.

Headroom Hi-Fi is located on the second floor of Trillium. Unless you know that in advance, you're not going to find this place. There are 0 signs telling you where to go. Once you do get to Headroom, you're greeted by a large space (it is the entire second floor, after all) decorated with records, a DJ, and dark mood lighting. The lighting is just enough to see your friends but not enough to read the menu unless fight over the small LED lamp on the table. For such a large location, the menu seems lacking. A couple of appetizers and some plates are all that are available. This seems like the offering that a small storefront in Bow Market or a pop-up would offer, not a place that could easy host a private event of 60 people and have room to spare. I don't understand the concept of this place. It's a giant space geared for long dinners but doesn't offer enough food for it. It's decorated like a Japanese Hi-Fi cocktail bar but lazily calls it a day by slapping on some records on a wall and hiring DJ instead of showcasing some crazy speaker / amp / preamp / DAC / turntable setup as a centerpiece. Drinks are also ... okay.

Located on the second floor of Trillium Brewing Fort Point, Headroom Hi-Fi Lounge is a hip and chill music lounge and bar offering mixed drinks, cocktails, Trillium brews and wine. For food, the limited menu offers a variety of small plates, shareables, and desserts. There is seating up at the bar with a great view of the kitchen activity, ample table seating, and a few sections of comfortable lounge seating. There is also a DJ record booth, spinning the favorites. After a long day in Boston, I headed to the Seaport area and entered Trillium Brewing, which was very busy inside and outside. I headed up the stairs to Headroom Hi-Fi Lounge on the second floor and took a seat up at the bar. The bartender brought out a glass of cold water and a menu with food and drinks. decided to stick with food on this visit. I ordered the scallop crudo ($14 plus tax) and latkes ($12 plus tax) as I was here to unwind over the light upbeat music playing in the background. My plates were brought out within 10 minutes. The food was nicely plated. Served cold, the scallop crudo had soft sliced scallop with sliced fresno peppers, sliced serrano peppers, tomatillo, & citrus. The 3 latkes were served hot with deep fried crunchy outside with a shredded potato & parsnip mixture, tarragon over a cool crème fraiche, topped with sour cream. For a dessert, the bartender suggested the cherry sorbet bowl ($8 plus tax) which had a semi sweet cold soft cherry sorbet with ardito amaro (Trillium) & anise hyssop, oat crumbles, candied pistachios over a berry juice. The check was $36.38 with tax and before tip. Overall, I enjoyed my small plates and sorbet dessert and enjoyed the relaxed vibe here. The service was attentive and prompt. As I was enjoying my food, the bartender and the customers next to me were discussing online dating services and booking multiple dates on the same night. Those sites work out for some folks, but not for most people, as the pool is limited and there are numerous fake profiles to be screened. The old-fashioned ways of dating seem to be favorable with my friends.

This spot was meh. The vibe is fine, though oddly table seated for a chill space, should be more couches and lounge spots around the room. Food menu looked fine but small. Drinks were ok, not the best, didn't even serve our dirty martinis with olives and forgot order a few times. Music was fine, not the vinyl I would think of for this space. Not worth the trip to seaport, but fine if you are in the area for a quick drink

Very nice space and the vibe should pick up as word gets out. Drinks were good not great. Main issue was the DJ was wearing anti-Semitic apparel which seemingly was allowed by management. Will not be returning.
