Frequently Asked Questions
-
We do not take reservations at either of our taprooms– both spaces are all first come first serve. We do offer full buy-outs of our back taproom at Broadway, intended for groups of 50 – 100, and upstairs or downstairs at CX, intended for groups of up to 180. If you’re interested in either offering, please fill out this form and a member of our team will be in touch shortly!
-
We offer a selection of cheese and charcuterie boards at our CX taproom. At Broadway, Pepita Coffee Co. serves their cafe menu on weekdays until 3:00 pm, and weekends until 2:00 pm. On Tuesday - Saturday Pepita re-opens the kitchen at night to serve sandwiches, salads, and snacks. On weekdays they open at 4:00 pm, and on Saturdays at 3:00 pm. See the menu here.
We still have pop up food events on occasion, check out our events calendar to see what is coming up. You’re always welcome to BYOF, Bring Your Own Food, to either space!
-
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.
-
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 incredibly limited at our CX location, so 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 $10 parking for Lamplighter customers after 11 am Monday – Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday until 10pm. To get this discounted rate you must validate your parking ticket in the taproom.
-
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.
-
We take cash, card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Sadly MA health code won’t permit our furry friends in any indoor taproom areas. Pups are welcome at our brewery retail area if you’re just grabbing beer to go. In fact, we have a delicious bowl of treats waiting for them there. Dogs are also welcome in our outdoor seating areas at our Cambridge Crossing taproom, those areas are open seasonally.

We are not currently filling growlers of beer. We do, however, have lots of cans and bottles available to-go at our walk-up retail window.
