Where to Eat, Drink, and Play for an Amazing Summer Night in Boston

Summer in Boston is in full swing, and if you’re on the hunt for plans after dark, look no further. Whether you’re tired of the same old bar crowd or eager for new interactive experiences, The Hub on Causeway has it all. Situated in Boston’s lively West End, adjoining the TD Garden and North Station, the bustling entertainment district offers much more than just dining and drinking—it’s a playground for those seeking nighttime adventures. Here’s how to make the most of your nights this summer at The Hub on Causeway.  

Have a Summer Movie Marathon at AMC  

For the movie buffs, AMC at The Hub on Causeway is the perfect destination for viewing summer blockbusters. With 13 state-of-the-art screens, a full snack bar, and luxe seating, AMC Causeway 13 will satisfy even the most discerning movie goer. Bostonians can enjoy beer, wine, or craft cocktails while watching anticipated releases. 

AMC has something for everyone. If you are a horror movie lover, check out “A Quiet Place: Day One” (June 28). For action fans, “Deadpool & Wolverine” (July 26) might fit the bill. If romance is more your speed, there’s “It Ends with Us” (August 9)—based on the Colleen Hoover bestselling book set in Boston. After all, there’s something thrilling about watching a movie set in the city you are currently in.

Game on at PLAY    

Unleash your inner child at PLAY, an interactive gaming and dining experience just steps away from TD Garden. With dozens of modern redemption games like WHACK ‘N WIN and BIG PASS PRO, you can rack up tickets for cool prizes including exclusive sports merch like signed jerseys. Move to the beats of professional DJs and fuel up with comforting bar staples like pizza, wings, smashed burgers, loaded fries, and more. For the “big kids,” the bar at PLAY offers a range of fun cocktails, Jello shots, and group specials like The Big Ticket, a concoction of Don Julio Blanco, lime, lychee, cranberry, and Dezo spiked lemon lime water designed to be shared with groups of four or more friends. 
 

Work on your swing at Banner’s Topgolf Swing Suite 

Spend next game night at Banners Kitchen and Tap, the official restaurant of the Boston Bruins. This isn’t your average sports bar. At Banners, you can watch sports games on the biggest TV screen in New England, work on your golf swing in one of Banner’s Topgolf Swing Suites, or try your hand at virtual hockey, football, baseball, carnival games, and even zombie dodgeball in one of their three private bays. Each suite offers full drink and food service, so you can sip on craft cocktails and sample what’s on one of their 60 rotating taps while indulging in bar food favorites like flatbreads, sandwiches, NE IPA battered fish & chips, and more.    

Worth the pit-stop: Cards Vault’s new Boston location, just a few steps away from North Station, offers a wide range of sports cards, trading cards, memorabilia, and more —making it an ideal spot to explore for a sport filled evening.  

Rock Out at Big Night Live  

Experience a night of musical thrills at Big Night Live (BNL), a premier music hall and nightclub that’s redefining Boston’s entertainment scene. The Live Hall, an impressive 11,500-square-foot space, features two dance floors, oversized LED screens, and a stage surrounded by two exclusive VIP areas for a truly elite experience. From electric live shows to energetic dance parties and riveting theater performances, every event at Big Night Live is a spectacle of luxury with offerings like private tables and champagne bottle service.
