So we enlisted our first brewer, took over some warehouse space on the Boston waterfront, and began introducing fresh, local craft beer to Boston drinkers. We knew what we wanted to drink, but we needed some help actually brewing it. There was only one problem: we were beer lovers, not brewers. We started the Harpoon Brewery in 1986 because-like today-we loved beer and wanted more quality choices. Most importantly, if you are sick, please stay home! Please refer to for complete guidance and additional details. Practice good hygiene and wash your hands. Our staff will continue to wear masks at all times. When outside, we need you to wear your mask while in the presence of others (within 6 feet), and we ask that customers observe strict social distancing of 6 feet while on location, to the extent possible.

When inside our facility, we still need you to keep your mask on when you are not at your table. The CDC and the State of Vermont has lifted the mask mandate (in distanced outdoor settings). We want to keep serving you great drinks & food! Please help us by following these rules and keeping safety top of mind: We have the regular food and beverage menu available for service! The huts sit 6 people (are dog friendly!) and are available for 90 minute reservation times to allow for sanitization in between parties. We offer full service at each hut – there is a beacon light on the front with a switch inside to let the server know they are needed. Looking for a more private experience? We currently have four outdoor huts available by reservation only. Patio seating can be reserved online by selecting outdoor seating (we will do our best to accommodate sunny or covered seating preferences upon arrival) or by phone: 80 X221. There’s nothing like enjoying a beer on the patio! We have both covered and sunny seating available. Please wear a mask and practice safe social distancing while enjoying our outdoor games (per VT guidelines).

Spring is here and we are ready for patio weather! Join us in our outdoor space, by the firepit or in a private outdoor hut, for a pint, a meal, and some fresh air! We are pleased to bring back cornhole in the outdoor space. Not looking to dine in? You can also order to go here! Click here to see today’s menu for dine-in. We offer a full lunch and dinner menu of delicious dishes to pair with your pint both in the dining room and in our Beer Garden, including favorites like our handmade brewery pretzels as well as specialty items that rotate with the seasons. Reservations are not required, but highly encouraged for weekends or for parties of 10+. The Harpoon Riverbend Taps now has outdoor seating is and will continue to be open 7 days/week for take-out food orders, merchandise, beer, cider, and hard seltzer to go.
