"McGreevy's, "America's First Sports Bar", dates back to 1894. Back then, it was the place to be for ballplayers, politicians, gamblers, Tin-Pan Alley stars and die-hard fans known as the "Royal Rooters". It was the center of the sporting and political worlds. It was America's first baseball museum, with every inch of wall space decorated with historic pictures from the owner, Nuf Ced's, own collection and memorabilia he got from friends like Cy Young. The light fixtures were made from bats used by Red Sox stars and the painted portrait of McGreevy that hung above the bar looked down upon customers like Babe Ruth and boxing champ John L. Sullivan, as well as "Royal Rooters" like Mayor "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald (JFK's grandad) and "Sport" Sullivan, the Boston gambler infamous for masterminding the fix of the 1919 World Series. McGreevy presided over all arguments between fans ending the battles by pounding his fist on the bar exclaiming, "Nuf-Ced"! It's a must see for baseball fans and those wanting a cold pint and experiencing some of America's past." - Amalgam
