Fresh Beer to Go: We sell Crowlers (32 ounce cans) to go as well as 4-Packs of select DBco beers. Unfortunately, by law we cannot fill growlers. Additionally, due to tax law, you can not consume Crowlers on premise. No external alcoholic beverages may be brought in and consumed on site.

Getting here: We are located at 1250 Mass Ave. in Dorchester. There is typically plenty of on-street parking (no meters). If you are planning to take public transportation, we are located on the red line between Andrew and JFK/UMass stops and also close to several bus stops.

Pets: Per updated guidelines from the city of Boston on March 26, 2021, we can only allow service dogs for persons with disabilities (physical or sensory) on the deck and our management staff now needs to ask all customers with dogs this question “is this a service animal” and we will need to trust the patron’s word. No paperwork or documentation is needed. The City also noted that Emotional support dogs are not permitted on the patio. Generally, these animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless such devices interfere with the animal’s work or the customer’s disability.
