    We really enjoyed our stops into Night Shift Brewing while we were in Boston. The brewery itself was near our hotel and very accessible from the T. It's right off the water and has a beautiful view. The inside was very spacious and clean, and we even loved the music they were playing both times we stopped in. We enjoyed the pizza, which we devoured, and their IPAs were delicious. I would recommend.

    Tidbit!!! Trust Google Maps when it tells you to walk out onto the water to get to this brewery. There is definitely a walkway. And the brewery is worth it. We came here for the beers, as we saw a ton of options on their menu and we were delighted with all the options. It was also fun adding a sugar rim to a pumpkin beer. Our beertender was excellent and super attentive, as our visit was a late Friday afternoon without a game at TD Garden (and we suspect that this is a great spot for folx to gather). There was also food available. We grabbed a pretzel, and definitely chatted about all the options. Read a different review for the food, though!

    Awesome brewery that's very close to the TD Garden. Service and beer selection at this brewery was top notch. I was able to find a spot to sit at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable about the beer options. I tried the Owltoberfest and Santilli IPA and both beers tasted excellent. The manager was very helpful and was able to switch the channel on the TV to the football game that I wanted to watch. The brewery is very clean and in great condition.

    When we arrived, I was really excited to try this bar. Unfortunately that's where the excitement ended. We sat at the bar and It took a solid 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. The bartenders were walking around cleaning and stocking without talking to us at all. Once we finally ordered a beer it was decent - the Belgian waffles beer was our favorite. The service remained relatively lackluster throughout our visit. The staff was unable to get the bruins game on the TV so we ended up going to another bar. I would not recommend visiting here.

    Loved this gem at the LOVEJOY wharf overlooking the dam and walkway. Very cool ceilings, industrial vibe and LGBT+ friendly!!! I didn't try the food but it looked soooo good. This will be on my bucket list when I come back to visit Boston.

    **Opened during the 4th of July** After a long morning stroll around town on the 4th of July, we were so grateful that Night Shift Brewing was opened to cool us down and quench our thirst! Ambiance: The brewery is nestled in a beautiful historic warehouse/manufacturing building. Large indoor seating available, in addition to a size able outdoor patio. Food: My husband and I shared the hot honey arancini. It was so delicious. Beer: Large beer selection including dark beers, IPAs, and sours.

    Stopped at Night Shift Brewing before an event at TD Garden and it was packed, but honestly the service was still decent! We ordered a huge mountain of truffle fries (truly the star of the table) and the Figgy Piggy pizza, which was insanely good. It was the perfect sweet & savory combo. They've got a great selection of beers, but I loved that they also offer seltzers and cocktails for anyone who's not in a beer mood. Despite the crowd, everything came out quick and the vibe was very lively! Perfect pre-event stop!

    Sorry the pretzel went fast

    Wow. Come here. Just come here. As a huge sour fan, I was immediately delighted to see five of them on the menu. The fuego mango had a mild spice and had a great blend of sour and sweet, and the jammin weisse was similarly enthralling. We started with the pretzel, which had a savory cheese sauce alongside it. It was light and airy with the perfect amount of salt. And subsequently the standard Detroit style pizza was one of the best I've had. The crust was crispy but not too greasy, and the sauce on top had a good mix of salty and sweet. Our server was also attentive and helpful, able to explain the various food options. And to my delight, the music was quiet enough to hear a conversation without struggle, contributing to an overall positive experience in the space. We'll be back!

    Night Shift is one of my favorite local breweries. Great variety of beers with fun names and can packaging. This location is clean and spacious with plenty of seats at the bars and tables. There are several TVs at the bar so this is a great place to have a drink and watch a sports game. During my last visit I had the Ritzy AF (golden ale with toffee, salty crackers, and vanilla) and Hockeyeast Ale (fruity beer with orange zest and lychee) and I enjoyed both. I like how they organize the beers into categories with flavor descriptions. I was also offered a sample of a beet before I ordered a full glass so don't be afraid to ask to try something. Some of the beers are taproom exclusive which is another good reason to come here. They also have wine, cocktails, and mocktails for those who don't want beer. I ordered the Shifty pizza which had a nice balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. The pizza was very filling and made a great meal, but it would also be nice to share. The service was excellent. Bartenders frequently checked in and refilled my water. Ii want to get cans to go so the bartender went downstairs twice to get what I wanted.

    I enjoyed the chicken sandwich, and the Wide Awake beer was good, I tasted the mentioned notes of espresso. Service checked in enough, would not mind a few more tvs on days with bad weather

    Came here on a Wednesday evening for an earlyish dinner and the space was very empty - they had a huge amount of tables and the place had barely any other parties so it felt very open and not lively, but was clean and spacious nonetheless. Service was okay - food and drinks came out at a good speed, but our server rarely came down to see or check on us which wasn't great, especially when we needed water or the check. Pizza was yummy, but super expensive for the portion size. It definitely wasn't worth it. Fries were nice though and I thought the size was fair. Drinks were good as well, just not super memorable as I don't recall how my beer was at all. Overall, I probably would come back for drinks and the sharable apps - definitely pass on the pizza.

    Located on the wharf close to TD Gardens. The brewery is super bright and fun inside. There is a ton of seating inside and an outdoor patio area. We opted to sit at the bar as we only wanted a drink. The service here was not that great. Our server was very rude and unfriendly. She was not helpful at all and it came across as if we were an inconvenience to her. We tasted many beers before trying to select one. We tried the Tuscania, Kolsch Encounters, and Garden Party. None stood out to us so we just settled for a safe wheat one, fruity with a booty. It was ok. We quickly drank and left. They can do a "flight" for you, which are two 4oz pours but the prices vary based on the beer you want. It is just better to get the full pour of your drink.

    Awesome brewery in walking distance to hotels and the stadium. The inside is large, clean, and has good vibes, good music. Bartenders and staff were all friendly! Large menu of food and drinks. I got 6 tasters because everything sounded great and everything was as expected. I wasn't disappointed in any of the beers. I have to say, I'll be back to try the sours and IPAs, but it'll be hard to beat their dark beers. Favorite was the cinnamon churro, PB & J stout, and ritzy. They all blended so well, didn't sit too heavy, and nice mouth feel. Can't wait to come back

    Is there an area where you can camp out for a while and get work done?

    There are bar rails with stools that look like communal high tops near the cafe. Asked the host if all seating was full service and they pointed me to those seats. Got a coffee and worked for a bit today feeling totally welcomed!

    Great beer selection, solid food options and an excellent staff…read more Interior space was quite crowded with minimal to no space at the tables and bar...even on a Monday early evening. I would expect the outdoor space would come in handy once the weather warms up. Conveniently located right off of Seaport Blvd. surrounded by some other good food and dessert options. Lots of parks in the area, including Fan Pier Park, which offers some spectaculay views of the Boston Skyline...particularly after dark. Metered Street Parking was actually manageable, especially in the later post 6-pm midweek hours in the Fort Hill Square Area. Meters are in effect through 8pm with a 2-hour maximum, so if you arrive after 6pm and feed the meter until 8pm, you are all set for the night! The South Station (Red) T Station is also nearby. Both options are a short walk to Fan Pier Park. There are also lots of garages available in the immediate area as well.

I got 5 oz pours of all of their IPA's and was in heaven. The Really Big Bird and Galaxy Cutting Ties were amongst my favorites. I wanted to try multiple stouts but unfortunately most of their pastry stouts were not on tap. They were only in 18.5-ounce bottles so I could only order one. I got the Macaroon Macaroon, which was a collab with Veil Brewing in Richmond VA (another phenomenal brewery that I have been to). It was dessert in a glass. I had the lady friend with me, or I would have opened and closed this place that or passed out in the corner. I was in heaven. She ordered some spinach and artichoke dip but I don't remember it. It was filler as far as I was concerned. This place isn't about the food; it's about their amazing beer.

The place has a really fun vibe -- coffee shop in the morning and brewery in the evening. The hostess was super friendly and got us seated in a nice dry spot in the back where we could admire all the brewing equipment. Live music started while we were there, adding more energy to the atmosphere. There's also an upstairs area that looked like a great place to hang out. The food looked fantastic, and my wife was especially excited to see they had a gluten-free dessert option. They offered a huge variety of freshly brewed beers -- IPAs, pilsners, sours -- something for everyone. They also had several non-alcoholic options, which was nice to see. I enjoyed a few half beers along with an order of guacamole, and my wife had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service was great, the beer was cold and fresh, and the atmosphere made it such a fun place to relax for a while. Definitely a great spot to grab a few drinks and hang out!

The way these people handled the large crowd when they weren't expecting much of one for 3 hours was amazing. The brewery has 2 floors with multiple bars with taps and they were running full speed ahead. We found a couple of seats upstairs and I walked up to one of the bars and ordered a few 4-5 oz pours. Their hazies were really good especially Runner's High and Cloud Candy. While we were sitting there, we ordered a few apps; a hummus plate and some hot honey Brussel sprouts. They both came out fast and were tasty. The beer and food were both good, but the service was even better. The Mighty Squirrel is a well oiled machine.
