I'd probably use a comma after evenings, but I wouldn't say it's obligatory these days.

I see nothing wrong with 1 or 2, but in most contexts, we would be a little more likely to use "evening," not "evenings."

Wouldn't we be more likely to say something like he takes it easy/relaxes/chills out in the evenings?
