"For something with more local flavor, head to this Charlestown outdoor bar, which offers plenty of space to move around and a relatively clear line of sight to the fireworks." - Todd Plummer

"A waterfront beer garden in Charlestown offering a clear line of sight to the fireworks barge."

"Following the shuttering of Anchor Brewing last summer after 127 years, I learned numerous hopeful buyers — including former workers — have submitted bids and those offers are now under review, with a new owner expected to be announced by the end of January; it’s not yet clear whether the buyer will be a major company, though Anchor representative Sam Singer said “there would be names that you’d recognize.”" - Paolo Bicchieri

"For something with more local flavor, head across the Charles over to Charlestown, the oldest neighborhood in Boston—also known as “The Town”——where The Anchor, a sprawling waterfront beer garden, offers plenty of space to move around and a clear line of sight to the fireworks barge."

"The Anchor in Charlestown is a multi-story outdoor space that functions as a beer and wine garden as well as a community gathering and event space; there’s always something going on, and the venue is very family-friendly. Food options include hot dogs, chowder, pulled pork sliders, fried mac and cheese bites, and more. The Anchor is currently offering outdoor seating." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
