The Great American Beer Hall is located at 142 Mystic Avenue in Medford, MA. Mystic Avenue runs through the heart of Massachusetts’ Metro North and parallel to Interstate-93. Acting as a “gateway to Boston”, Mystic Ave’s potential as a thriving area of commerce and entertainment has long been a vision for the city of Medford.
The GABH ownership group has deep roots on Mystic Ave, owning and operating a small business since the early 1960s and making local real estate investments ever since. As Mystic Ave becomes a destination for people to live, shop and enjoy entertainment, the GABH seeks to help the city of Medford pioneer this redevelopment and drive sustainable future growth.
The Great American Beer Hall serves as a local gathering spot that brings together the community and catalyzes a long-awaited reinvigoration of Mystic Ave. Patrons come for the GABH’s New England craft beer selection, stay for its pizza and live music, and return for the social experience.
