Night Shift Opening Beer Garden At Assembly Row

SOMERVILLE, MA — Night Shift Brewing is bringing an Owl's Nest beer garden to Assembly Row this summer, the shopping and dining complex announced Tuesday.

The beer garden will feature food from The Smoke Shop BBQ and family-friendly amenities from PKL Boston, including pickleball, shuffleboard and cabanas, serving as the centerpiece of a new green space at Assembly Row.

"We cannot wait to share this exciting, new, outdoor experience with everyone," Michael Oxton, co-founder of Night Shift Brewing, said in a statement. "Assembly Row has become a true destination if you want to do something fun. We couldn’t be more thrilled to join the neighborhood."

In partnership with Night Shift, PKL is launching a new concept centered around pickleball. Guests are encouraged to book in advance to reserve one of PKL's four pickleball courts, three shuffleboard courts or four private cabanas with food and beverage service.

The 12,000-square-foot outdoor venue will be the newest addition to Assembly Row’s activated block and is slated to open later this summer.

"Our team is excited to preview our new pickleball entertainment experience outdoors this summer at Assembly Row," said Kaitlyn Coakley of PKL Boston. "Good food, great drinks and a little friendly competition is always fun and what PKL promises to deliver."

Several new businesses will open this summer at Assembly Row, including restaurants Shake Shack, sweetgreen, La Macaron and Parla, and retailers Warby Parker, Sephora and CVS. The neighborhood will also welcome Miscela, a new 500-unit luxury apartment building this summer with a variety of outdoor spaces.
