A new chapter is brewing along the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
Boston Harbor Distillery is set to take over the former Trillium Garden space at the corner of High Street and Atlantic Avenue in downtown Boston, according to a press release. The seasonal outdoor hub—long known for its warm-weather pints—will soon be reimagined as a family-friendly beverage garden situated across from the Boston Harbor Hotel and International Place.
The space was previously home to Trillium Brewing Company’s seasonal beer garden, which had operated on the Greenway since 2017. In January, the brewery confirmed via Instagram that it would not return for another season, hinting instead at new projects in the works.
Founded in 2012 on Boston Harbor, Boston Harbor Distillery has built a loyal following with its small-batch spirits rooted in New England’s maritime heritage. The distillery’s lineup includes whiskey, rum, liqueurs, gin, and ready-to-drink cocktails—each crafted with a focus on “locally inspired flavors and hands-on production,” naturally aligning with The Greenway’s mission to celebrate local makers.
“Our goal has always been to create spirits that tell a story of Boston and its harbor,” said Rhonda Kallman, Founder of Boston Harbor Distillery. “We’re delighted to bring Boston Harbor Distillery to The Greenway, a place that embodies the heart of the city. This partnership gives us the opportunity to share our craft with both Downtown neighbors and visitors from around the world, creating memorable experiences in a space that celebrates community, connection, and the vibrancy of Boston.”
At the new Greenway location, the distillery plans to debut a lively open-air concept serving cocktails, mocktails, beer, wine, and locally sourced snacks. Signature drinks will include the Putnam Barrel-Aged Maple Old Fashioned, BOS-hattan, Tea Party craft whiskey cocktails, Greenway Colada, and the Boston Harbor Refresher.
Guests will also be able to purchase bottles of Putnam Whiskey varieties; Lawley’s Nautical line of fresh botanical Gins, 100% Molasses Rum and Vodka; Demon Seed Whiskey and Boston Harbor Maple Cream; Coffee Liqueur and Espresso Martini.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Boston Harbor Distillery to bring new offerings and local flavor to The Greenway’s beverage garden,” said Eileen Ong, Director of Programs and Outreach at the Greenway Conservancy. “Our goal is to provide a space where people of all ages can connect, enjoy seasonal programming, and experience The Greenway as a vibrant community hub.”
Slated to open in the spring of 2026, Boston Harbor Distillery’s Greenway beverage garden promises to blend the city’s history, waterfront views, and handcrafted drinks into one inviting seasonal destination.
“We’re excited to join The Greenway community and contribute to its lively public spaces,” added Este Sylvetsky, owner and President of Boston Harbor Distillery. “Being part of The Greenway allows us to serve not just our local friends and neighbors, but also the many international visitors who come to experience Boston. We look forward to welcoming everyone to the beverage garden, sharing our spirits, and helping make The Greenway an even more engaging and inclusive destination year-round.”
