1. Cityside
Your local American tavern turned into a COVID-friendly outdoor dining spot. Cityside Tavern, located in Cleveland Circle, is just minutes from Boston College’s Campus and has direct access through the BC bus route. Cityside is our go-to spot for delicious bar food, and we never leave without getting their mouthwatering sheet tray nachos and buffalo dip. Reservations are available both on their outdoor terrace and their newly created downstairs patio. Their freshly renovated inside also has socially-distanced tables. Cityside is open for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, and offers specials for “Taco Tuesday” and Happy Hours.

2. Lolita (Fort Point)
Your favorite Back Bay Mexican spot has moved to Boston Harbor’s Fort Point Channel, boasting beautiful views and an expansive outdoor deck. They offer the same great food as their Back Bay location but an arguable a much better ambiance. This is a Boston go-to for margaritas and tacos, making for a perfect girls’ night or date spot. We highly recommend you check it out while the weather is still nice!

This hip spot is the perfect place for a weekend dinner with friends or a boozy weekend brunch. Just further down Beacon St. in Brookline, Mass, Barcelona has some of the best tapas around.

Their outdoor tablespace has expanded onto the street, making for even more socially distanced dining.
