Enjoy the Local Craft 

Did you know that Bostonians love their craft beer? In fact, you’d be amazed at the staggering number of local breweries in Boston. Luckily, beer enthusiasts have the opportunity to sample up to 16 different beer styles with City Brew Tour’s After Hours Brew Tour

 

Over the course of five hours, you’ll gain VIP access to different breweries, get decked out in City Brew swag, and enjoy a light dinner with a beer pairing. It’s a great opportunity to get to explore Boston and see Boston at night while enjoying the local culture.

 

Dance The Night Away 

Nothing says Boston nightlife like going to one of the many popular clubs including The Grand, Royale, and Good Life Boston (just to name a few!) 

 

In particular, The Tunnel is one of Boston’s most popular nightclubs for tourists and young locals. Located at the W Hotel in the heart of downtown, you’ll find an impressive lineup of hip hop and EDM DJs that keeps the crowd energized late into the night. 

 

If you check out this cool spot, be sure to try their signature drink, The Tunnel, which features a refreshing blend of Ketel One, St. Germain, blackberries, and bubbly.

Curl up in the park and enjoy Boston Parks’ Mayor’s Movie Nights on an enlarged outdoor screen.  Not only is it free of charge, but you also won’t have to worry about sneaking snacks into the movie theatre. Win-win! These screenings are perfect evening events during the summer in Boston.
