I will be making my first trip to Trillium this Saturday. Any recommendations for parking? I am assuming meter parking will be available and was hoping to avoid too much searching. I will probably just be picking up bottles. Will lines be much of an issue when they open at 12? Thanks
I usually fork over the $5 for easy parking at the Stillings St. Garage. It is practically right across the street.
There's usually a bit of a line at Trillium when they open on Saturday, but nothing crazy. I like to park on Summer Street: I've never been there on a Saturday and not found a space there, and there's a staircase down to A Street steps from Trillium.
If you are just picking up bottles, check and see if they're doing a bottle only line (which will be to the far left when you walk in). The line only really forms for growler fills. As for parking, you'll more than likely be able to grab a metered spot on Congress or Boston Wharf Rd.
Summer St vote here as well. Staircase to A St brings you to back alley where Trillium is. Last time I put $0.75 in meter. Walk to brewery and back in 30min.
as recommended by Trillium: Use the Parker app (iphone or android) and it'll show you open meters in the area. There's almost always plentiful metered parking on weekends. http://www.theparkerapp.com http://www.trilliumbrewing.com/wordpress_blog/getting-to-trillium/
Saturday will have spots all over the place mid day. Evening it starts to fill up. Wouldn't worry about it.
I know of two spots within a 3 minute walk that are completely free and always open, but I'm taking those to the grave.
No issues at all parking. Got In a little before 12, 5th in line, on my way home with bottles by 12:10
the lots are cheap and plentiful, the lots in that area make their money off the 9-5 M-F business crowd
