Dear old dad

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15th!  Here’s a roundup of gift ideas for dear old dad – and you won’t even have to leave the neighborhood to get them.  #shoplocal This guide will be updated, so make sure to check back!

Fashionable Dad. Elevate your dad’s wardrobe with some clothing and accessories from The Point Clothing Lounge.  Featuring everything from swimsuits to golf shirts, sunglasses, coolers and more!  The Point even has the tradition gift for Father’s Day – ties! Check out their gift guide via Instagram here. 

Cozy Dad. This dad very much likes to be comfy, so a cozy hoodie is a perfect gift. A hoodie from the iconic  Sullivan’s will do the trick, and you can buy yourself fries while you’re there.  Or how about Boston Fire Department (K Street and D Street) swag – including hoodies, t-shirts, and baseball caps!

The Fun Dad  Let’s hear it for the fun dad!  The dad who lets you eat cake for dinner and stay up late when mom isn’t home.  King’s Dining and Entertainment in the Seaport is the perfect spot to celebrate your fun dad.  In addition to bowling King’s has air hockey, skeeball, shuffleboard, billiards, and great food! Also in the Seaport – Spin, Flight Club, Puttshack, and don’t forget the new pickleball entertainment restaurant – PKL! 

Golf Dad. Broadway Golf Club is now open in the 7,300-square-foot basement space at 423 West Broadway. In addition to practicing golf and playing in tournaments and leagues, you can watch a game and socialize at the 19th Hole while enjoying a cold beer or seltzer, a glass of wine, or a signature cocktail. The Broadway Golf Club features six simulator bays powered by Trackman. Players can use “Shot Analysis” to get instant feedback on club motion and ball flight while playing at some of the world’s most prestigious courses. This new club was founded by Danny Picard, a lifelong Southie resident. Pick up a gift card or take day out for a day!

The Pampered Dad.  The well-groomed dad did not wake up like this, it takes work!  You can put together a day of very masculine pampering at Seaport Med Spa with customized facials, an infrared sauna and cold plunge at SelfCentered and Nourish Lounge for some detox time.  How about a gift card for a haircut at the Luxury Box? 

The Fit Dad  How about a cycling class at The Handle Bar, or running/sculpt class at MyStryde? Southie is filled with amazing fitness studios like Motivated Fitness which offers boot camps, Peter Welch’s Boxing Gym and Everybody Fights!

Animal Loving Dad Celebrate dad at Franklin Park and Stone Zoos this Father’s Day, with FREE ADMISSION for all fathers throughout the day. Tickets are required for all other guests, and advance online tickets are required for non-members. No ticket purchase necessary for dad! For more information visit here! 

Ring-a-ding-ding Dad  I’m pretty sure the perfect Sunday for every dad would include Capo’s Sinatra Sunday.  Every Sunday The Supper Club at Capo hosts Rich DiMare and the Ron Poster Trio for the best dinner and a show you can find!

Beach Dad  This dad loves a day the beach!  Pick up a picnic lunch at American Provisions! 

Beer Lover Dad This dad loves his beer!  And not just a can of Bud Light but really good craft beer! Why not surprise him with a gift card to Castle Island Brewing? 

Wine Lover Dad Red, white or rose, this dad loves his wine. Social Wines can help you select the perfect bottle (or two) for dad!

Craft Cocktail Lover Dad How lucky are we to have a distillery right here in the neighborhood! Grand Ten Distilling offers pre-mixed craft cocktails to go, in addition to bottles of booze for purchase, including South Boston Irish Whiskey.

Food Loving Dad South Boston including Fort Point and the Seaport, is chock full of amazing restaurants.

Happy Father’s Day!
