Where to Eat After Midnight Around Boston
May 9, 2025

Erika Adams/Eater Boston
Boston is not really a late-night city: The T shuts down on the early side — and the bars and live music scene with it — so it can be hard to find a snack or full meal late at night and into the early morning hours, especially on a weeknight.
So it’s hard, but fortunately not impossible, to find a solid meal after midnight. Here are 15 of the best late-night dining options in and near Boston, from mapo tofu nachos to Brazilian hot dogs. All restaurants on this map serve food past midnight at least a couple nights a week; many of them serve a substantial menu until 1:30 a.m. nightly. (That said, hours can change without notice, so it’s best to call and confirm before heading over.)
