Boston Restaurants Reopened For Outdoor Dining
A running list of the reopened Boston restaurants open for outdoor dining.
Updated
June 30th, 2020
Early on, there was some confusion about whether breweries were allowed to reopen under phase two. Who would’ve thought that a government that bans Happy Hour and shuts down bars at 2am would be on the fence about beer gardens? Anyway, they’ve now figured out that people enjoy drinking outside, and breweries are happily serving pints again. Here are 17 spots open right now for outdoor drinking.
If your favorite brewery isn’t on this list, chances are they’re open for takeout and delivery, so you can still support them.
