Cisco Brewers Seaport debuts annual summer waterfront beer garden

Boston, MA Boston Seaport by WS and Cisco Brewers Seaport are partnering for the return of Boston’s favorite waterfront beer garden for its ninth season. Debuted on April 17, Cisco Brewers Seaport marked the unofficial start of summer in the city, bringing island energy, live music, craft beer, and long afternoons back to the harbor after a long New England winter.

Cisco Brewers Seaport’s 100 Seaport Blvd. location is a seasonal tradition for the neighborhood. It will once again operate seven days a week under its expansive tented footprint, offering open-air gathering, daily entertainment, and opportunities for private events, along with new enhancements designed to make 2026 its biggest season yet.

“Cisco Brewers Seaport has helped define what spring and summer look like in the Seaport neighborhood,” said Ariel Foxman, area VP, brand and experience for Boston Seaport by WS Development. “It transforms the neighborhood in a way that feels immediate, the energy shifts, the music carries through the air, and Seaport becomes a place to linger. Year nine is about building on that momentum and continuing to make Seaport a destination people choose all season long.”

A new Beach Shack program introduces ten Cisco Seaport Beach Shacks, available for 2–3 hour reservations and accommodating groups of 6–12 guests. The collection of Shacks includes:

• Club 888

• Notch Whisky Lounge

• Gale Force Gin Joint

• Nantucket Vineyard Chateau

• Salty Gin Grotto

• Langosta Tequila Cantina

• Cisco IPA Cabana

• Cisco Social Club

• Hurricane Rum Hideaway

Updated food offerings include a new grill truck serving up smashburgers, sandwiches and snacks and a new poke bowl truck.

Expanded private event capabilities within the 50’ x 50’ covered tent.

Stage footprint expands with a newly designed stage under the tent featuring enhanced audio and performance streaming via screens across the venue.

Televisions located inside the tent and each Shack, making Cisco an ideal spot to catch game day action and World Cup matches this summer.

Fan favorite menu offerings including Shark Tracker Light Lager, Cisco Disco, and signature summer cocktails will return, alongside an updated culinary lineup featuring seafood, tacos, and pizza offerings.

Live music remains at the heart of the Cisco experience, with an expanded performance lineup featuring local favorites and touring acts every day of the week. The performance schedule for the first two weeks of the season is included below. 

“We’re heading into our ninth season in Seaport, and that’s something we’re incredibly proud of,” said Jay Harman, CEO of Cisco Brewers. “Every year we look for ways to make the experience feel fresh while keeping the energy that people come back for. This season brings new additions, an expanded music lineup, and a few surprises we can’t wait to share. More than anything, we’re excited to open the gates and kick off another Boston summer.”
