Sadie's Garden Bar is the Seaport's answer to the question of where to be at 4 p.m. on a Friday in August: an outdoor garden bar on Fulton Street, a rotating cast of DJs and musicians, and a happy hour that keeps drafts and spritzes reachable from three to six. The lineup changes weekly — house DJs one week, a country block party the next — so it never settles into one crowd. Get there when it opens and the whole weekend feels longer.
What to expect
The outdoor Garden Bar fills first, with the DJ or musician set running through the late afternoon and the two-level indoor dining room open alongside for food. Expect an after-work crowd building through the happy-hour window. The Seaport waterfront and Pier 17 are a two-minute walk if you want to move on.
