Very good little brewery, the bar is open evenings and has regular events. The Dr Nandu (IPA) is well worth your time.

Everything Else

Climbing wall - it's expensive, sure, but it's the best in the Boston area. Good amount of (high) lead walls and ample bouldering. A day pass will set you back about $25 and can come and go.
