A craft spirits distillery is set to replace the longtime beer garden on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, park officials announced.
Dorchester-based Boston Harbor Distillery will start serving its signature craft spirits and cocktails on the Greenway this spring, the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy said Thursday.
“Our goal has always been to create spirits that tell a story of Boston and its harbor,” Rhonda Kallman, the distillery’s founder, said in a statement. “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.”

The new spot will supplant the former Trillium Brewing beer garden, which held the lease at the corner of High Street and Atlantic Avenue for nearly a decade, park officials said. When it was established, it was the city’s first public beer garden.
Get Starting Point

Park officials said Boston Harbor Distillery was selected after a competitive bid process.
“We’re very grateful for the role Trillium Brewing played in helping to establish our beverage gardens and in welcoming so many visitors to the park,” said Eileen Ong, the conservancy’s director of programs and outreach. “Their creativity and partnership shaped a program that has become a beloved seasonal destination and helped spark the growth and popularity of beer gardens across the city.”
A Trillium spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.
In addition to its locally inspired whiskey, rum and liqueurs, Boston Harbor Distillery will also serve cocktails, mocktails, beer, wine, and locally produced snacks.
Trillium, which also has locations in Canton, Fort Point, and Fenway, opened a new winter beer garden inside Winthrop Center on Federal Street last month.
