All the places mentioned are great (Sunset is a personal favorite of mine - the beer is unreal). Like aephi said, the Hatch Shell is too packed, and with how hot it's going to be, it's not as enjoyable. See if you can find a spot on one of the bridges (Mass. Ave bridge or the other) or on the Cambridge side - you get the same view with less people.
You could also try for drinks and stuff:
Cactus Club: Great margaritas
Boston Beer Works: All beers brewed in building, has some really good beers that you won't get to try anywhere else.
The Place and The Rack: I group them because they're two of the most fun bars in Boston. It's a bit of a haul to get to the fireworks from there, but if you want to go out to a fun bar with a young crowd, these are the places. You might even see some of the Celtics, Patriots, or other local celebrities having a drink there.
The clubs on Landsdowne Street are your best bet if she's under 21 - like aephi said, they're strict, but it's possible they're having 18+ nights...the other clubs in Boston are much more strict and don't let the under 21 crowd in.
I'll post more as I think of them - but Boston is a great city and a hell of a lot of fun, you and your friends should have an awesome time.
