Summer is nearly upon us, which means it’s time to lounge in the sun, cook dinner outside and have friends over to celebrate the season. And residents of The Batch Yard have everything they need to enjoy summer right at home. With a private pool, roof deck and grills aplenty, The Batch Yard is the perfect spot to host a summer party.

Pools are few and far between in the Boston area, so The Batch Yard’s private paradise with views of Boston, ping pong tables and a movie projector is unique indeed. Residents can spend sunny days relaxing poolside with friends. And the roof deck, complete with grills and fire pits, is the ideal spot to prepare a meal outside on warm nights.

Two local breweries call The Batch Yard’s neighborhood home, Idle Hands Craft Ales and Night Shift Brewing. Both make unique beers perfect for a summer party. Idle Hands’ Blanche de Grâce is a Belgian Wit that the brewery says is “unfiltered and cloudy as a hazy summer afternoon.” Night Shift has the seasonally available Whirlpool, a soft ale with notes of ripe peach and citrus, as well as Grove, a farmhouse saison infused with meyer lemons and ruby red grapefruits. Night Shift’s Bee Tea, a wheat ale with orange notes, is available all year and great for summer sipping.

As for food, McKinnon’s Market & Super Butcher Shop, located right in Everett, has everything you’ll need for a party. With weekly deals on all kinds of meat, from marinated lamb and pork tips to baby back ribs and all-beef hot dogs, McKinnon’s has just the thing to toss on the grill. And McKinnon’s stocks fresh fruits and veggies, like watermelon, corn and other summer staples, so you can save time with one-stop shopping.

So get ready to celebrate the summer season with a fun party poolside on The Batch Yard’s roof deck!
