Urban Park July Beer Garden

A beer always tastes a little better when it's for a good cause. The Urban Park Beer Garden returns to the rooftop oasis above Kendall Square with Lamplighter Brewing pouring local beer, complimentary hot dogs and pretzels from The Sausage Guy, and sweeping views over Cambridge. Every $5 beer token benefits a local charity, with the nonprofit changing throughout the summer series, making each gathering a chance to support a different community organization. Nonalcoholic seltzers and kombucha are available too, so everyone can join in, whether they're drinking beer or not. It's an easygoing way to spend a summer evening, where the rooftop views are reason enough to stop by, and the charitable mission gives you one more reason to stay.
