    To my surprise, this place's pizza is the best I've ever had. It's Detroit style and crispy on the outside, the cheese melts into the focaccia-like dough so you don't know where the cheese ends and the dough begins in the best way possible. The Green Mile only has red sauce dolloped on top of the slices (vs in between the cheese and dough) and I absolutely loved how the flavors mixed with the roasted brocolini. The beet salad to start was absolutely tasty, the wings were perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing, and all the beers we had were very good! I'm so glad we found this place, delicious! Will be back.

    I came for great beer and that’s just what I got. Very convenient location and really impressive layout as well. Looking forward to trying their coffee the next time I’m around.

    Update Feb 2023 Had one of the best burgers ever! And delicious and small fries. Best to be eaten while hot Changed to 5 star Update April 2022 Food remains to be delicious It seems they changed the menu and for the better if you ask me. Great pizza and ok fries Service is good and terrace overlooking the water is nice too

    My husband and his friend came here for the beer but I just want to rave about the pizzas. What a pleasant surprise! I’m always skeptical about bar food but these pizzas were actually really, really good. My husband and I each got one but we probably could’ve just shared one lol they also enjoyed the beers here so it’s a win all around!

    Night Shift is great! You can always count on a causal and wonderful vibe here. The beer is selection is awesome, there’s something for everyone! The food is also great, I recommend the burger, burrata salad and pizza (Tuesday’s). There’s also outdoor seating when it’s sunny!

    Excellent brewery, conveniently located by TD Garden. We made reservations and stopped here before a concert and it was the perfect place to sit down for a drink and good food before entering the venue. Totally recommend this place for dinning or having a beer if in this part of Boston.

    Very good beers. Loved the size of the bar and indoor space. They also have a great patio with a view. Was there on a Sunday and they close a little early which was a boomer (particularly in light of the name). A local told me this was common in Boston. If you're in the area stop by, their IPA was very tasty.

    Great Detroit style pizzas and drafts. Recently took our dog on their patio to grab some food and beer on a late Friday afternoon. Even during off-peak hours, the patio was almost full, but it was still a relaxing getaway from the high-energy vibe of the TD garden nearby. Along with some drafts, we got their burger, wings, and pizza. The Figgy Piggy had excellent crust and undercarriage, offering that perfect balance between crunch and fluffiness. By focusing tomato fig jam around the central burrata topping, it also ensured that the inherent sweetness didn’t overshadow the flavors of the cheese. However, the subsequent dishes, while generous in portion, seemed to play it a tad too safe. The NSB Burger and the Whirlpool wings felt reminiscent of standard bar food. The wings were a bit dry and tasted like typical frozen wings, but the citrus habanero sauce made it slightly better. The fries also lacked crispiness, and the burger was just okay. Yet, the allure of the pizza and the diverse range of drafts ensures Nightshift Brewing is more than just a one-time visit spot. Would probably come back to grab some classic pizza and beer combo.

    The atmosphere here was awesome. Service was friendly, just wasn’t a huge fan of the beers. Lots of seating and TVs for entertainment. They also had some fun giveaways that I would’ve been interested in if I lived in the area.

    I’m not a huge beer fan but I had no problem finding several I liked on their menu. The Figgy Piggy pizza was delicious and the live music was great!

    Great place for some delicious craft beer and food. The sticky wings were very good.

    Had a great time here. Seems to be a great place for group hangouts. Excellent patio and view. Beer selection is great, plus non-alcoholic options and hard seltzers. The poke nachos were a little mayo-heavy.

    Great brewery outpost for an after-work or pre-hockey beer. Solid range of beer styles, not too repetitive, and with several location-exclusive seasonal options. Beautiful view of the bay. Friendly staff. Modest merch area. Plus food and coffee. Cool spot!

    I came here with my brother and nephew on a Tuesday night and the place was slammed and is very noisy with a young energetic crowd. We sat at a table for four and the service was very quick. I tried the 87 beer, there beers are $7-$9 for a 12 ounce pour which seems the going price these days, but a little disappointing as the beer was just okay. I ordered the wedge salad with added chicken and we also wings and fried pickles for the table, which are a house specialty. The portions here are huge and the food was pretty good. They actually need to reduce the portions or get bigger plates as the salad was hard to eat. My slightly lower than perfect score is due to the chicken (a on the salad) did not taste freshly cooked, maybe reheated, and the beer was not great. The wings were decent but the sauce was too sweet for me.

    Ordered fried pickles, olives, jerk wings and truffle fries. All food was amazing! Beer selection was plenty and discovered some excellent flavors. My review loses a star due to the friendly staff need to be a bit more attentive to the guests. Many staff on the clock but more concerned about their phones.

    I was there on a date and our beers were swapped. Both of us hated the beer that was served to us. After the date when we were talking about it is when we realised the lady swapped our orders. We just laughed about it! The Buffalo cauliflower was soggy and mushy. Not the best texture. Although the location is great, service and food could be a lot better.

    I really liked the beers here. Many different styles. A majority of the ingredients were in the citrus family which made the beer taste smooth and not too bitter or fruity. Large taproom with food and views of a harbor. For repeat business, they provide a scratch off card that provides up to $250 gift card on your next visit. We thought this was a great way to get first time visitors back.

    Such a great variety of so many beers and there wasn’t a single one I didn’t like! Every one we tried was so delicious. The haze maze was our favorite one. We didn’t get meals but ordered the french fries and those were really good as well. If you’re in the area it’s a must go!

    Great food, service, & atmosphere. They let you try small pours of the beers. Caesar salad and rosemary & truffle fries were both delicious and tasted very fresh.

    Lovely area, right next to the water. Fish tacos were very good, and they even had craft sodas. The soda was made right here in Massachusetts. The NSB burger was great. Didn't like the fried pickles (they were still a little greasy).

    Delicious beer with a variety that will please everyone. I recommend the Limelight as a refreshing summer beer. The food is also fantastic! The Detroit style pizza is great to share and they have fantastic fried pickles and buffalo cauliflower. Best in Boston in my opinion. The tap house has plenty of seats and the patio offers gorgeous views of the warf.

    Nice brewery by the suspension bridge. Large and modern. Good variety of brews and superior food. Prices are a little high but given the quality and location are to be expected. Hint: if you’re on the bridge take the elevator inside the building to W for wharf. The GPS gets a little confused.

    We’ve been enjoying Nightshirt in Everett for years. We were very excited to try the Lovejoy location because of their enticing food menu and beer selection we love. Bonus points for the kids menu. The forager pizza was absolutely delicious! Truffle fries were yummy. My granddaughter and grandson loved the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Friendly efficient service and great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again and enjoy the outdoor patio when it’s cooler. I plan on working my way though the amazing pizza selection.
