Lucky for us, Southie. We now have more food, fun, and drink options than ever before. And no matter if you’re down with our ever-changing neighborhood or lamenting the loss of your old favorite spots—you have to admit, Southie knows how to have fun. We’ve rounded up our top picks for a night (or day) out for any age and every kind of crew.

For the Young Professionals
Loco Taqueria &  Lincoln Tavern
Ah, yes the old favorites. Mingle with others about which dating apps you’re on and how rent will (or won’t) be paid over some coconut margaritas at Loco or burgers at Lincoln. There are few problems a trip to either of these places won’t solve.

For the Newlyweds
Local 149 & Coppersmith
Grown ups can still have fun too, ya know. Come to Local 149 for the mac and cheese bites, and well, stay for everything else. Between the colorful décor and the cool, cozy vibe, it’s the ultimate spot to unwind. Coppersmith is equally as cool, with one of the best roof-decks in Boston, it’s the perfect place to meet up with the crew this summer.

Fun for the Forty-plus
Publico & Roza Lyons
We’re loving everything about Publico these days. From the drinks to the menu to the outdoor patio, Publico is perfect for a date night away from the kids or to catch up after a busy week.  And, don’t forget about local favorite Roza Lyons. This place has a lively crowd and even better service. Pop in for brunch or a drink for some good laughs and friendly faces.
