Lakeville, MA nightlife runs on one brewery taproom, one pizzeria with a forty tap bar, and four golf clubhouses that serve the public. There's no bar strip and no walkable block of late rooms, and most kitchens stop serving between 8 and 9 p.m. This guide covers what's open inside Lakeville, what runs later in Middleborough ten minutes north, and where to find live music twenty minutes out.
How a Night Out Works in a Town of Twelve Thousand
Lakeville's bars aren't downtown, because Lakeville doesn't have one. They sit where land was cheap and parking is free, and nothing is walkable to anything else, so you drive to a single place and drive home. The town holds 11,523 people across 36 square miles (Wikipedia), which explains the spacing.
Three clusters cover almost all of it. Bedford Street in North Lakeville holds the brewery and the plaza kitchens near the I-495 exits. Lakeville Center, where Routes 18 and 105 meet, has the one room that feels like a proper bar. The golf bars sit on Clear Pond Road, Leonard Street, County Street and Rhode Island Road, and all serve the public. Nothing in town pours past 10:30 p.m.
Bars and Breweries Inside Lakeville
Every venue below is inside Lakeville, none more than ten minutes from the Routes 18 and 105 junction. Hours were current at the time of writing and shift seasonally.
Red Hand Brewing Co.: The Closest Thing Lakeville Has to a Night Out
Red Hand Brewing Co. at 348 Bedford Street is the town's default answer. It's a family owned taproom with lake views, house beers alongside a long guest tap list, and a full spirits menu with a serious whiskey selection. Food comes from the Travelers On Tour truck outside rather than a kitchen, so the menu rotates and the truck occasionally doesn't appear. Fire pits carry the shoulder seasons, and the calendar runs trivia, bingo, line dancing, open mic and Cars and Coffee. Closed Tuesdays, 10 p.m. weekends, 9 p.m. otherwise.
A brewery holds more merchandise, glassware and event gear than a taproom floor absorbs, which is why climate controlled storage in Lakeville shows up in local business plans. The Cars and Coffee regulars face the same problem in another shape, since a summer car has to sit out a New England winter somewhere, often in car storage.
Baldie's Craft Pizzeria: Forty Taps at a Copper Bar
Baldie's Craft Pizzeria at 40 Main Street is where Lakeville Center goes to drink as much as to eat. Around forty taps of New England craft beer line a copper bar, and the wood fired oven sits in the middle of the room. Regulars order the Buffalo chicken pizza, the chowder or the pork belly tacos. Book ahead on a Friday, especially for six or more. The kitchen runs to 10:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, the latest food inside the town line, and the best restaurants in Lakeville guide covers where to eat before you land here.
Poquoy Brook Pub: Live Music Most Saturday Nights
Poquoy Brook Pub at 20 Leonard Street is a golf pub that stopped acting like one. The granite topped bar seats 26, there are seven televisions and thirty beers on tap, and live entertainment plays most Saturday nights from around 7 p.m. It's open to the public seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The music schedule lives on the club's Facebook page, not its website.
Lakeville Country Club: A Public Bar With a Sunset Deck
Lakeville Country Club at 44 Clear Pond Road runs a full bar seven days a week with a jukebox, Keno and televisions, and the sunset deck looks straight out over water. The dining room is open to the public, which isn't obvious from the road. Kitchen hours are the catch: 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, and 3 to 8 p.m. weekends, so no lunch on a Saturday.
LeBaron Hills Country Club: Cocktails and a Terrace Fire Pit
LeBaron Hills Country Club at 183 Rhode Island Road is the dressier option, with a chef's menu running from elevated plates to pub classics and a cocktail list to match. The terrace and its fire pit are the reason to come in September and October. The Grille Room is members only, but the restaurant and terrace are open to anyone. Closed Mondays, otherwise 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Back 9 Pub and Broken Tee: The Casual End of the Golf Bars
Back 9 Pub at Heritage Hill Golf Course, 17 Heritage Hill Drive, is the least formal of the four golf rooms and the easiest to walk into without a tee time. The course renamed itself from The Back Nine Club, so older listings still carry the old name. Broken Tee Virtual Golf Club at 166 County Street is the winter equivalent, a lounge with craft beer and four simulators, open to 9 p.m. most nights, with food carried over from Fat Cousins Pizza next door. The Lakeville golf courses guide compares the courses themselves.
JMAC's On The Pond: Bar Pizza Inside the Eagles Hall
JMAC's On The Pond at 217 County Street serves South Shore bar pizza, smashburgers, wings and a weekly special, and regulars order the Greek salad or the linguica pizza. The address throws off first timers, because it operates inside the Eagles building with no standalone restaurant to look for. Closed Monday through Wednesday, open Thursday evening and from midday Friday through Sunday.
Later Kitchens and Taprooms in Middleborough
Middleborough sits eight to ten minutes north and is where a Lakeville night goes when 9 p.m. arrives too early. Its center has a short main street, several taverns, and the MBTA station that opened on March 24, 2025 (Wikipedia).
The Hideaway: The Latest Last Call in the Area
The Hideaway at 9 Station Street closes at 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, genuinely late for this corner of southeastern Massachusetts. It's a sports bar and kitchen doing hand cut steaks, burgers, seafood and pasta, and it shares ownership with Baldie's, which is why the beer list feels familiar. Closed Monday. If you want somewhere open after 10 p.m. without driving to a city, this is the answer.
Harper Lane Brewery: Twelve Taps a Short Walk From the Train
Harper Lane Brewery at 16 Wareham Street is a family owned microbrewery with twelve taps of rotating beer and hard seltzer, plus cans and growlers to go. The taproom opened in winter 2024, though the beer has been on Middleboro taps since 2017. Hours are narrow: Thursday 3 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday noon to 10 p.m., Sunday noon to 6 p.m. It's walkable from the train.
Live Music and Bigger Rooms Within Twenty Minutes
Two rooms outside Lakeville earn the extra ten minutes when the night needs music or space. Both take reservations, which the Lakeville venues mostly don't require.
The Profile Tavern at 2 Crossroads Drive in East Freetown, twelve minutes south, does signature bar style pizza, wings, craft cocktails, a long local tap list and barbecue smoked on site daily, with live music most weekends. Book ahead on a music night. Bands working this circuit keep a PA and road cases somewhere between gigs, and a 5×10 unit swallows exactly that.
Stoneforge Tavern and Publick House at 90 Paramount Drive in Raynham, fifteen minutes northwest, is the biggest room in the ring around Lakeville, with a full bar, live music and a menu built for groups. It runs to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 p.m. on weekends, and it's wheelchair accessible, which matters because most closer options are small rooms with steps.
Parking, Last Call and What Winter Does to the Calendar
Parking is never the problem in Lakeville and reservations occasionally are. Every venue has a free lot. The one night parking tightens in Lakeville Center is the first Saturday in October, when the Lakeville Arts and Music Festival takes the junction of Routes 105 and 18, running October 3 in 2026 (Lakeville Arts Council).
Mondays are quiet by design. LeBaron Hills and The Hideaway close Mondays, Red Hand closes Tuesdays, and JMAC's doesn't open until Thursday. A Monday night out here realistically means Baldie's, Poquoy Brook Pub or Lakeville Country Club.
Winter reshapes the rest. The Old Farmer's Almanac called for above normal temperatures and below normal snowfall here in 2025 to 2026 (The Old Farmer's Almanac), but nor'easters still run December into March, and Routes 140 and 18 get plowed long before the back roads. Red Hand's fire pits and LeBaron's terrace go dormant, boats come off Long Pond into boat storage, and Broken Tee's simulator leagues take over Thursday nights.
For a city night, Providence is forty minutes west and close enough for dinner and back, while Boston is better reached by rail from Middleborough than by car on Route 24. Both sit in the day trips from Lakeville guide; the daytime version is in things to do in Lakeville.

Is Lakeville, MA a nice town for a night out?
Lakeville is a quiet rural town and its nightlife matches: one brewery, one busy pizzeria bar, four golf clubhouse bars, free parking at all of them. What it lacks is a walkable strip, a club, or a kitchen open past 10:30 p.m. Treat it as one good stop rather than a bar crawl and it holds up.
Storage Space for the Overflow in Lakeville
If a move, a downsizing or a garage full of seasonal gear has run you out of room, Value Store It in Lakeville rents month to month with no long term contract, seven days a week.
The range covers most of what people need. A 5×5 locker holds bar stools, records and holiday bins, while a 10×5 unit or a 5×15 unit takes a spare room's worth, with the 5×10 above sitting between them. A 10×10 unit suits a studio, 10×15 a two bedroom, and 10×20 and 10×30 a whole house or a small business inventory. The storage unit size guide compares them if you're stuck.
