This cavernous brewery and taproom in Somerville pours pints of the titular craft suds (produced in several varieties) and offers munchies from food trucks parked out front or artisans in the Foods Hub, an adjacent incubator for small-batch purveyors. Quirky diversions include arcade games and a retro Nintendo console that projects the gameplay across the warehouse-high back wall.

Stylish and romantic, Casa B is a hidden gem in Somerville’s Union Square. Run by a husband and wife team of former caterers, the menu of shareable small plates mixes his Puerto Rican roots with her Colombian background. The result is a fusion of Latin and Caribbean flavors manifested in tablas (wooden boards of dips, cheeses, ceviches or other bites), pinchos (a different take Basque-style bar food like cod salad with guacamole and sauteed chorizo) and an impressive array of tapas. On warmer nights, get a table in the airy upstairs dining room with a view onto the square, or travel below ground for the larger dining area with date-night-friendly banquette seating and open-kitchen.
