Bleacher Bar

"Bleacher Bar is literally located underneath the centerfield bleachers in Fenway Park, just beneath the famous red seat, which marks the spot of the 502-foot home run Ted Williams hit during the 1946 season. The bar has a window cut out so patrons can see the field (it closes during the game, sadly.) The bar occupies space once used for the away team’s batting cage, so drinkers can sip on a beer where Brooks Robinson used to take warm-up cuts." - Erika Adams, Eater Staff

"Want to watch a baseball game without buying tickets? The Bleacher Bar, located directly underneath the bleachers at Fenway Park with a gigantic garage window overlooking the field, is your solution." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"You’re going to have to get to Bleacher Bar early in order to get in, but as the old saying goes, the early bird gets to drink and stuff its face with fries while having a direct, field-level view of its team taking batting practice. As the name implies, Bleacher Bar is built directly into the centerfield bleachers, with only a wire garage door separating the players on the field from the fans licking hot sauce off their fingers. It’s definitely a little bit of a hassle to get in here and get a good table, but your team only comes to Fenway a couple of times a year, so it’s worth it to get a really good view of your guys stretching hamstrings on the field while the Sox take BP inside." - dan secatore

"You can go to a random sports bar and watch the game on TV, or you can go to Bleacher Bar and watch the game on the actual damn field. Despite the fact that this place is built underneath the centerfield bleachers at Fenway and gives you a direct view of Jackie Bradley Jr.’s back pocket, you don’t need a ticket to get in. That makes Bleacher Bar pretty much the coolest sports bar you’ll ever find, and worth visiting even if the only thing on the other side of the glass is a groundskeeper mowing the field." - Dan Secatore
