Mighty Squirrel
102 Arsenal Yards Blvd, Watertown, MA
Crema's Take
“Mighty Squirrel is a brewery taproom that doubles as a welcoming neighborhood gathering spot, celebrated by families and beer enthusiasts alike for its thoughtfully crafted IPAs and creative tapas like their standout Maine lobster roll with Japanese mayo. The space itself has become a beloved fixture in Arsenal Yards, with the kind of patient, attentive staff and genuinely family-friendly design (down to the restrooms) that makes lingering over a flight of samples feel like time well spent. Come for the beer and food, but you'll stay for the vibe—a place where regulars become part of the community and newcomers immediately feel at home.”

Went for the igloo vibes which were nice! Food was good but expensive and the service seems a bit off that day, slow and kept getting order info incorrect. But the beer is good!
Came with our 5yo and can't say enough good things! Food and beer was awesome, Emma was great and very patient with our kid. The place itself is very child friendly with even the restrooms prepared for kids. Outside seating in the Igloo was a hit. Thank you!!
Thank you for coming to Arsenal Yards!!! What a nice edition to this family friendly area. My family and I have been pleasantly surprised by Mighty Squirrel and have visited this place many times. First, I love the ambiance of this place. It’s so big and open. I love their outdoor space. I’ve only been here in the summer, so I’ll be interested to see how they’ll use their space in the wintertime. Second, the beers and other beverages are so yummy!!! I love that you can get small versions on most of the beers. I also love that they serve coffee and fresh juices. What a treat for any occasion. Their food is pretty good too … especially their fish tacos. They are craveable and better than most taco places!!! I do wish, however, they had some flatbread options. That would really make this place amazinggggg!!! And last and most importantly, their service is impeccable. They get pretty busy but have always tried to accommodate seating. I also superrrrr appreciate that they are baby/toddler/kid friendly. Like … so patient and no dirty looks. You’d be surprised how many places automatically judge you when they see a stroller pull up. This really makes this place shine and stand out cuz honestly, who needs a a drink with a nice vibe more than moms and dads of kiddos.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mighty Squirrel Taproom and Tapas is an absolute gem! Whether you’re a longtime fan of their brews or just discovering them, this location takes the experience to a whole new level. The vibe is warm, lively, and inviting with a beautiful indoor space that balances cozy and modern perfectly. The outdoor space is perfect for chilling on a hot summer day, especially with their expansive patio. The beer? Consistently fantastic. From juicy IPAs to crisp lagers and creative hard smoothies and hard seltzers, there’s always something exciting on tap. And the new tapas menu? Game-changer. Every small plate was packed with flavor and paired beautifully with our drinks. The poke bowl was so fresh and full of flavors. You can tell there’s real thought and quality behind every dish. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Sean, my server was such a pleasure and very attentive. Billie, one of the bartenders has such a bright personality and knows her beer. Honestly, each and every employee I interacted with made me feel taken care of from the moment I walked in. Whether you’re grabbing a beer and bite with friends or settling in for a date night, Mighty Squirrel Taproom and Tapas delivers a top-tier experience. Can’t wait to come back!
SHIVER ME TIMBERS AND Squirrel My Nuts! The Maine Lobster Roll - w/Japanese Mayo! Excellent twist. Get the samples for their IPA’s to get a great paring with food. For those customers who don’t have the patience for delays…. Give the place a couple of weeks to settle down and work out the kinks in service. The staff is amazing and your experience will be great.
