We do not take reservations at either of our taprooms– both spaces are all first come first serve. We do offer partial and full private event rentals at both locations for groups between ~10 - 200. If you’re interested in either offering, please fill out this form and a member of our team will be in touch shortly!

Please note that our taprooms are 21+ after 5 pm on weekdays and after 2 pm on weekends. Babies and kids are also welcome during our 21+ hours if accompanied by a parent or guardian. While our taprooms are family-friendly, we ask that you use your best judgment when planning a visit with children.

In accordance with state and federal regulations, we accept all forms of US government-issued photo ID, including but not limited to passports, driver’s licenses, state IDs, green cards, etc.

If you’re visiting from another country, we strongly encourage you to bring your passport. Alternative forms of non-US photo ID (e.g., driver’s licenses, passport cards, etc.) are considered on a case by case basis at the discretion of the staff on duty – it’s best to bring a form of identification with a photo.

Sadly MA health code won’t permit our furry friends in any indoor taproom areas. Dogs are welcome in our outdoor seating areas at our Cambridge Crossing taproom, those areas are open seasonally.

We are only allowed to sell what we brew on premise, which at the moment is only beer and occasionally a gluten-friendly hard seltzer. Unfortunately, no cider, wine, or gluten-free beer. We do have non-alcoholic kombucha, non-alcoholic seltzer, mocktails, lemonades, hot tea, and cold-brew coffee.

Yes! Please see availability and order here!

Our custom label program allows groups, companies, and event hosts the opportunity to create their very own beer name and label to feature on one of Lamplighter’s Cambridge-made craft beers – ideal for corporate events, restaurants and bars, weddings, employee appreciation, and beyond! For more information, get in touch with us by reaching out to: beer@lamplighterbrewing.com Please note we need at least 6 weeks notice.

At Broadway, Pepita Coffee Co. serves their cafe menu on weekdays until 3:00 pm.

From Tuesday - Sunday, our permanent pop-up, Controne takes over at 5 pm serving Italian-inspired dishes.

CX, our permanent pop-up Crazzy Tacos is open at 5 pm on Mondays and Wednesday to Saturday serving tacos, burritos, nachos and more.

You’re always welcome to BYOF, Bring Your Own Food, to either space!

We do not have dedicated parking at either taproom location. There are many metered and non-metered spots along Broadway, where we are also half a mile from both the Central and Kendall Red Line T Stops, and directly along the Broadway bus route.

Street parking is limited at our CX location, we’d suggest walking, biking, Uber-ing, or taking public transport – the Lechmere T-stop is right nearby, the 69 bus runs directly to the area, and there’s a Blue Bike station right next door. There’s also a parking garage at 222 Jacobs Street which offers validated $5 parking for Lamplighter customers after 11 am Monday – Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday until 10pm (4 hour limit). To get this discounted rate you must validate your parking ticket in the taproom.

We take cash, card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

We are not currently filling growlers of beer. We do, however, have lots of cans and bottles available to-go at both locations!

We support non-profits and grassroots organizations through our quarterly partnership program. We’re currently accepting applications for our 2025 partnerships - learn more and apply here!
