Cafes and bars with outdoor seating in Boston

40 venues, ranked on what OpenStreetMap actually records about each one.

How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone wants to sit outside - with a laptop, a dog, or a group. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in Boston. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Boston venues are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 143 venues in Boston that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 17 have Wi-Fi recorded and 37 publish their opening hours.

Which of these Boston venues have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Brassica Kitchen + Cafe, Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Boston Ale House, Dash Cafe and Sip Café all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these venues stay open late?

Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Ostra, Shore Leave, Abe & Louie's and Boston Ale House are open until 11pm or later on at least one day of the week, according to the opening hours published in OpenStreetMap.

Which of these venues are step-free?

Joe’s American Bar & Grill, Ostra, Shore Leave, Mumbai Spice Indian Restaurant and Abe & Louie's are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - outdoor seating recorded, opening hours published, wi-fi recorded, non-smoking indoors, step-free access - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
