"There’s no better place to contemplate your generational sports trauma than this sunny outdoor space with views of the Boston Garden. Wash away the pain, or celebrate a win, with a beer and pizza on Night Shift Lovejoy’s summer patio. The brewery also runs pop-ups all season long on the Esplanade (by the Hatch Shell), Allston (Herter Park), and on The Greenway (near South Station)." - tanya edwards
"In addition to serving up irresistible Detroit-style pizza, this huge brewhouse offers plentiful seating and often has many large group reservations available online. Keep an eye out for anything on the menu with their chive ranch — it’s delightful." - Erika Adams
"Before there was Marty McFly and Back to the Future, there were his parents. Travel back in time to the 1950’s with the Enchantment Under The Sea New Year’s Eve party at Night Shift Brewing inspired by the prom night where Marty’s parents fell in love. Wear your best retro prom looks and prepare for a live band, caricatures, a costume contest, and more. The festivities go from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and there’s no cover charge." - Erika Adams
"Get your groove on at the Night Shift Brewing Everett taproom for the free Lite It Up: Battle of the Bands, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Local artists take to two stages. Attendees can cast a single vote for their favorite band, with the top two taking home a cash prize. Bonetown Burgers and the Night Shift Eats food trucks will be there with bites to accompany the beats. Dogs are welcome, and the event happens rain or shine. Savor a drink special that mixes Nite Lite with orange spritz syrup, citrus gin, and fresh lemon." - Erika Adams
