Mighty Squirrel to open biergarten at Gore Place
CORRECTION: The biergarten is opening on Friday, May 8.
A new seasonal biergarten is set to open this week on the grounds of historic Gore Place, offering outdoor dining, drinks and live entertainment through the fall.
Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. will launch the 60,000-square-foot biergarten on Friday, May 8, at 4 p.m. on the southern lawn of the 50-acre property, which spans Watertown and Waltham. The operation is scheduled to run through October.
The biergarten will feature a rotating selection of Mighty Squirrel beers, along with hard seltzers, hard smoothies and nonalcoholic options. A food truck will serve a varied menu including lobster rolls, clam chowder, smash burgers, wings, birria poutine, harvest bowls, salads, tikka masala, saag paneer and desserts.
The space will include both shaded seating under a large tent and open-air tables, with live music planned throughout the summer season.
Regular hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. The biergarten will also operate from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on select Monday holidays.
Gore Place officials noted that dogs are not permitted on the property due to the site’s status as a working farm, though service animals are allowed.

@Tim if it’s anything like the setup they had at the Sheepshearing Festival, it will be great. My kids enjoyed the food and nonalcoholic options (and sitting/rolling in the grass).
Really hoping this is successful as we live two blocks away, and we desperately need more amenities within easily walkable distance in the Warrendale/Rangely Acres neighborhoods. Clearing my calendar now so I can show up at 11:00am tomorrow! Hope to see good neighborhood turnout!
German Biergartens succeed because of the options they provide for entire families – I hope MightY Squirrel has plans for this
