Dining & Nightlife Group

Dining & Nightlife is the jewel of Somerville 's economy. Recognized throughout greater Boston and beyond, Dining & Nightlife is the reason many people seek to live, work, and play here. The Dining & Nightlife Group: serves as an advocate for this industry before municipal boards and commissions; helps coordinate industry education and marketing activities; and helps promote Somerville as a premiere Dining & Nightlife destination in greater Boston. New beer & wine licenses for small restaurants, 2 am closing hours, technical assistance on regulatory matters, and a series of events including the Taste of Somerville, Oktoberfest, and Business After Hours are among the achievements of this group.
