Best Sports Bars in Boston | Eater Boston

"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

Where To Eat And Drink Before A Red Sox Game

"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

The Bleacher Bar - Review - Fenway - Boston - The Infatuation

"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

Fun bar that looks out onto centerfield at Fenway Park. We went for lunch the day before a night game as we spent time walking the Fenway neighborhood. I personally think that's a great time to go.

Bleacher Bar is hands-down one of the best spots to hit on game day. I'm jumping straight to the highlight — the view into the field is absolutely surreal. It gives you a unique, field-level perspective that's hard to beat. (Just a heads-up: they do close the view once the game starts though.) Aside from the views, it’s an awesome place to grab drinks before or after the game. It's always pretty busy but reasonably so. The food's always solid, comes out fast, and the service has consistently been great whenever I've been.

You can sit at the garage door and watch the game from the outfield, basically. No tickets are required, but get here early and get a good table. Great atmosphere in here and an odd thing you might not know is you get to stare at the bar when standing at the urinal in the mens room!! They can see your face through the window as well.... Good time to smile 😃 The video is not the view. It's literally at field level, below where the sign reads, Red Sox Win, the garage door.

Went in the offseason, visiting from Florida. It was on my bucket list and even though the ballpark was quiet, the bar had a good mix of music and the food was delish. Our server also made sure our drinks were never empty. I imagine this place gets packed in the summer, I still rate it a must see for baseball fans all around.

We did a tour of the game Fenway Park, then went to the Bleacher Bar to have a meal. Great atmosphere, people and food.

We were recommended to come here so we did while in town. We were turned away at the door somewhat rudely, apparently they had an event for a couple hours and were told to come back at 10. Still not open, so had to come back at 10:30. Wanted to eat dinner here so couldn’t so came to check it out and have a drink. Wasn’t too busy since they just “opened” to the public. Service wasn’t the best and kitchen was closed and it wasn’t the cleanest inside. Finished our drink and left. We came and saw and didn’t feel much more was left to experience here.

Stopped here for a late lunch with the family before a night game. We got lucky with timing as we literally walked in to an open table by the outfield fence. Super cool atmosphere. Food and service were great! 10/10 recommend.

Such a fun place and you just gotta take it for what it is...an institution, a loud, busy, fun bar under the bleachers! Great beer and cider selections, reasonable prices. We did not eat there, but I saw regular pub-type food on a few tables.

A very cool/unique spot in Boston. Baseball fans will appreciate the field-level view of Fenway park! My husband and I came here to grab drinks & food before a Red Sox game. It was packed as expected and we waited about 30 mins for a table. We were able to grab drinks at the bar and look out onto the field while we waited. I ordered the popcorn chicken with buffalo sauce & ranch. It was great!! Perfect portion size with juicy pieces of fried chicken. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich and also enjoyed it. Definitely check this place out if you're a baseball fan who doesn't mind a crowd ;)

Ended up down here after the St Paddy's Parade. Honestly, wasn't exactly sure what to expect but both the food and drinks were pretty good for a pub! Obviously you can see the fenway field so if that's something you're interested in, give this place a try. Service was efficient and our waitress was very nice. Bar feel (obviously), with music and TVs. Would love to come back another day.

Went here after a Sunday afternoon game at Fenway. Seated quickly even though it was busy. Good food, wife loved her burger and cheese fries, I had an excellent Buffalo chicken sandwich. Really cool atmosphere with a cool view of the outfield of Fenway Park. Server was attentive and friendly.

Super fun bar with great views. Coming here for months. Servers are great. But for the last 4 months they've been out of almost all drinks no matter when we come. The bar manager needs to figure their job out and make sure they are not out of literally every beer and every drink. Hello! Get it together!!! Learn how to order and get your inventory sorted out so you're not running out of drinks. Love the fun spot tho!!!! Fun, vibey music!!! Giving a 4 coz we love the spot and the issue is recent.

So cool to be able to be down below and be on the ground where the action would be. Minus a star because 3 things I wanted on the menu to eat were not available. Sports/dive bar vibes. Service was good overall with sharing other local recommendations.

The atmosphere is so fun! We sat next to the fence. You can see the pregame going on before the game starts! I had the clam chowder and a side salad, my boyfriend has the Buffalo sliders Both were very good! We each had a local beer in draft and our waitress was attentive, nice, .

On our trip to Boston, we walked around Fenway (we missed the team being in town by 1 day :( ). As we walked past this place, which is open even when there are no games, the smell of charbroiled burgers pulled us in. The coolest part of this place is that there is a fenced area open to the bar with a full view of the field!! We sat at ledge with stools that looked out onto the field. It was so cool. Apparently, you can sit there during a game. I asked, they say there is a 1 hour limit as long as you order food or drink during the game. They also said that during the game it isn't as busy as you would think. Before the game it will be slammed, but during the game, not so much. Anyway, the taste of the burger matched the scent from outside. It was really good and cooked perfectly. So juicy! We ordered a Bleacher burger which came with fries for $18. Loved the place, the food was great, our server was forgetful and not attentive. Another server that was seating people was very helpful when I asked about how seating near the field worked.

Never seen any place like this. If you are in Boston you HAVE to go here. Even though it was off season, the cool factor was still there. Food was great!

We had an event at the Bleacher Bar recently and we had a great time. The staff was friendly and the venue itself it super cool - they have their own huge window looking out into the field at Fenway! The food we had was tasty and they do a proper Guinness pour too!

10/10, amazing time. Great bar service, great view, loved it! We did not get any food, only drinks, but the vibe was fantastic.

This place was PACKED, to be expected. It has that iconic view of the field and plenty of standing room that fills up quick. We did get semi speedy service for a full bar, for the beers we got. We waited for out table, wait wasn't bad at all. But then the food service was so slow we ended up getting only an app and then leaving to get into the game. I understand being busy but the tables around us got sat after us, their drinks and food before we had ordered our apps. That said they apps were great :) staff was so nice and will be back!

Once if the coolest bars in Fenway cause you can actually see the field from inside the bar. Before the game they keep the garage door open and it's just a fence in between you and center field. During the game they put down the garage door but you can still see through it. First come first serve on bar stools and the tables in front of the garage. Outdoor and seating available. You can get a drink and stand as well. Great vibe, before, during or after the game. Typically bar food and bar drinks but you come here for the atmosphere!

My friends and I were visiting Boston and wanted to see Fenway Park. It wasn't a game day, so we stopped into this famous bar tucked under the outfield bleachers with views into the famous stadium. The bar was filled with Boston baseball memorabilia and had that been-there-for-decades nostalgic feel. There was a Fiddlehead beer promotion event going on at the time. So, we tried the local beer and got some nice Fiddlehead swag as Boston souvenirs. The bar hostess was friendly and have us a few recommendations of other places in the area we might enjoy later that evening. It was a very hot and humid, late summer afternoon. With the bar having a large open viewing of the open air Fenway Park outfield made it a bit muggy inside the busy bar. We left and walked around the ballpark exterior. You can tell the ballpark area is in transition with the bar lined street updated and the opposite street a bit run down. We came back to our rental car to find a $60 parking ticket on the car as well as every other car parked on that street. Just a heads up, the meters stop at 6pm, but that's when the neighborhood parking permit required parking begins. The meters don't mention this nor is there signage on the wall near the meters. This information is posted about 10 feet up on a light post facing the street.

Great burger and fries. What an amazing view of the iconic ballpark. Our waitress was not the best but who cares. Brownie sundae was fine.

we came before a celtics game (definitely make a reservation if you plan on doing the same) and despite it being so busy, our food came relatively quickly and the service was good. the energy and excitement in the restaurant was palpable and got us all excited to go to the game after!

Yelp
This is a must stop for Red Sox fans! You can view the field while you eat! I had the best burger, and I'm picky! It's VERY crowded a few hours before a game, so you will be dining with many Sox fans!

Yelp
Cool spot. Kitchen is slower than waiting on Christmas. Fries are decent, Reuben sandwich was ok, others in the party said their hotdogs were good. Only 1 server working and the location wasn't busy - Red Sox were out of town. We waited over 40 minutes for food and got there 10 minutes after they opened.

I've been coming every Opening Days for many years....its a total vibe! Today, However - we had the absolute best server, Addison! She was at the top of her game throughout the whole morning - we started there at 9am & she was gracious, hardworking & friendly! The new potato bombs are fabulous!! The Fenway spritz is a MUST have!!!!

Stumbled into this bar after taking the Fenway stadium tour. I didn't even know that this bar existed. We walked in expecting to get a drink and wait until the game started. We were wowed when we saw the bar was connected to the stadium. We were actually under the bleachers of Fenway stadium! So cool. The service was good and everyone was in a good mood. Definitely should check it out before a game.

Easy to get in, fun to watch the game. Seems more like a place to sports bet online than to enjoy a drink and watch the game. The doors to the field are almost always closed and the view is limited, especially if you are short. Good place for tall guys wanting to sports bet.

A very unique bar. I've never seen a bar with a field level view of center field. It's a super cool concept. I visited in the off-season, so I can imagine how crazy it can be on game day. Come early I guess? They have a decent selection of local beers and the cocktail I tried was pretty decent. Service was friendly and attentive during a slow and depressing Patriots stinker. I appreciated the windows in the men's bathroom that allow you to watch the screens while using the urinals. Somewhat awkward, but fun and innovative. Worth visiting for the novelty factor alone. I'll have to try coming during a baseball game sometime.

Great place for pregame beers. Excellent price on buckets. Definitely a full crowd but worth the stop. Quick and friendly service. Loud and full of energy.

A unique bar that is located under Fenway Park. They have a section where you can watch the game from the garage door, which is pretty cool. They also have some outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. The bartenders are pretty nice and quick to get our drinks. A cool spot to check out.

My friends and I stopped in here one afternoon on a non game day. It's a really cool concept and even without a game, it's fun drinking and looking out over the field. It's got a hole in the wall vibe with your typical bar drinks, nothing too fancy but beware of the window up above the bar to the right. After what felt like a few awkward eye contact moments with men staring down out the window, we went to investigate and discovered it was the men's bathroom. They are able to look out the window at the field while they are peeing. I was horrified, disgusted but couldn't stop laughing about it, it was a roller coaster of emotions. Unfortunately the women's bathroom has no fun windows and was pretty dirty on top of that. Go here for a fun experience but don't look up at the window above the bar.

Unique inside the stadium, outside the stadium bar restaurant. Excellent service. Interesting menu. Nice view of the field and astroturf of Fenway Park.

This bar is only cool because they have a fence area where you can see in to Fenway park from the bar. But they have tables in this little area so it is hard to catch a peak into it. This bar is alot smaller than I pictured it. So it gets crowded fast. Not sure I will come back but maybe I will try to come early and be able to enjoy the view of fenway from the bar.

Probably one of the greatest spots you can go to before a game. The service is top notch and the wait staff are attentive and always moving. If you want a good spot and to sit inside you'll want to get here early (5pm for a 7pm game). Great for some quality snack food or even just to grab drinks before heading in.

It allowed me to make a reservation online and when I arrived the hostess practically laughed in my face. Said they don't take them on game days. Maybe disable reservations then? I am sitting on a table outside in the cold and I've waited over ten minutes to be brought my water. What's funny is the table next to me ordered at the same time and they have their water and beer. Disappointed, came a long way to be treated like crap.

Got to the park about 3:30 and had no problem getting a table. Server was Liam was FANTASTIC! Burger was awesome and pretzel bites were really good. Don't pass up the pre-game fun at the Bleacher bar.

Having to dodge the Goths heading to BabyMetal it looked like the Bleacher Bar was a port in any Munster storm. "Whoa," I said. "Yeah," said the hostess. "Table?" I asked. "Okay, but are you that guy Foo?" "Yup, that me, famous Foo Ling!" So I was brought to a table on the patio right across from House of Blues and had the Bleacher burger and a couple of beers. "How was the food, Foo?" "Oh, very good luck taste," I said. "Do you have tickets?" "Why, you buying or selling?" I asked my waitress. "Both and either because here at Fenway it's about one thing, grabbing cash like Dougie MacRay and his boys."

The first time we entered this joint was a very good experience. The food was ok the staff were excellent the music was great. The patrons were fun. The second time we entered this place was below average. So I would not recommend this place. Hit or miss. The dj was very sad to say the least. Non consistent with the music. So you cannot find a rhythm to save your business the second night. Staff were ok. So now I know why they didn't have customers this night. Sorry would not recommend

This is one of the coolest and most unique bars I have ever been to! The bar entrance in just outside Fenway Park Gate C and the whole place is underneath the bleachers in the outfield. They even have an opening that lets you see straight into the outfield of the stadium. We were there maybe an hour before game time and while it was crowded, we were served in less than 5 minutes. They had plenty of staff behind the bar. My husband got a beer on tap from their fairly extensive list of options and I got a mixed drink. It was a bit pricey, but you are also paying for the atmosphere. Everybody talks about Fenway Park, but I think the Bleacher Bar is a hidden gem for any out of towners catching a game!

Really bummed about this place. We wanted to eat near Fenway so we went into the bar and saw the awesome view of the field. Sat down and waited for at least 20 minutes while the waiter help everyone around us. I asked the bartender and she said we had to get help from the waiter. I finally flagged him down and he took our drink order. Then he left and we waited about another 15 minutes while he brought drinks to other people around us and took other orders and we finally realized that we weren't going to get served so we left.

This location is super unique and fun for a tourist like us! We were in visiting Fenway for a concert and wanted to get a glimpse of the field on the off season. The moody vibe and view of the outfield was so fun! My boyfriend got a couple of beers and loved the recommendations from the bartender. If I'm ever back, I'd love to come for some food and the game!

Yelp
Their bouncers are scammers trying to get bribes to let people in!!! I tried to get on a packed night and I was kicked out of line for being too intoxicated when I had maybe 2 drinks. After getting back in line and reaching the front the bouncer proceeded to use me as an example saying this person is clearly sober to another group of people who had their friend kicked out of line for being "too intoxicated". I watched this scenario unfold a few times before I was up front as well. The bouncers then ask for money to let the person in. If I could give zero stars I would. (Just be cautious the main guy was in a red jacket just for extra information)

If you arrive early for a Sox game then head over to the Bleacher Bar for a unique perspective of Friendly Fenway Pahk. This cozy bar is located under the bleachers on Landsdowne St. What makes it special is the unique view. With the garage door open you can view the park from the outfield which is similar to the scoreboard keepers' view under the green monstah. Toward game time good luck getting in and seeing this unique view. We went early and scored standing room with a great view. They do have a full bar, local beers, and food. I go here to check out all the memorabilia and posters and have a brew or two. Save your appetite for a sausage sandwich in the fan zone. Pro tip: Gentlemen use the restroom and check out the view!

For some reason I'd read you need reservations for this place but you don't. Tbh it has more dive bar feels, sticky floors, plastic cups. We put our name on the wait list but never got called and ended up standing the entire time but we got to stand and watch practise going on through the open gate - which is the coolest thing about this bar. Fun place to hang out before a game.

Incredible pre game start and experience. You can actually feel like you're in outfield

The only thing saving this joint is the location. Located within Fenway Park- accessible only from the outside- you can get a great look of the park at field level in center field. Food is less than mediocre at best. Service is just okay. Prices are sky high for the quality. Our group felt that it was an opportunistic money grab/tourist trap.

Five of us wanted to enter but because I did not have my ID the aggressive bouncer would not let us in. I am 60. I had it on my phone but he said nope. He was rude and abrasive and you guys lost out on at least $200 worth of drinks.

A group of us came here for Opening Day very reluctant that we could even get in due to the popularity of this place (there is a window where you can watch the game!). But we got in & were able to get seated immediately. However, I wanted a table at the window, & was able to specifically ask for it, & we got seated in 30 minutes. Not bad at all! The place was jam packed. All good vibes. Great selection of drinks & ballpark foods. Take a look at the Men's bathroom, you can see the guys urinating through a window. Do not worry, it is just their heads you can see!

Ok, a bar built under the green monster at Fenway park with a roll up door that allows you to see onto the field...even during a game...how can there be anything cooler than that. The Red Sox were playing the Yankees, so of course it was absolutely packed. We got a small table away from the roll up door, but the food was very good considering how busy it was. We got burgers and Buffalo wings and all were delicious. I'd definitely go back.

Great atmosphere, stadium Boston bar. Great field view. There was a game going on, I guess it was a minor-league team, I have no idea who the teams were, the stands were empty. We had the loaded fries, which consisted of fries with brisket, barbecue sauce, jalapeños, cheese, pulled pork, and even a fried egg on top. It was a little heavy, what time the fries a little soggy. But the flavors we're good. I had a harpoons IPA my wife had a Downeast cider, both were great.

We stopped in the Bleacher Bar after our Fenway Park tour. No visit to Fenway Park is complete without a stop at this bar built into the Green Monster. We were lucky to get a table next to the wall so we had a great view inside of Fenway. We ordered drinks and some appetizers. We got the cheesy bacon fries and some fried pickles. The staff was friendly and we grabbed some souvenir shirts before we left.

Yelp
ABUSIVE STAFF! DO NOT GO! They will single out random people and claim they are intoxicated. I'm pretty sure they look at disabled people especially to claim that they are intoxicated. No matter how sober you are they will make some bs claim that you are intoxicated and verbally abuse the help out of you. If i could give this place 0 stars I would, but even thAt is far too favorable of a rating. This place deserves to go out of business and hopefully it does.

How can you not love this place? I mean look at that view! Best time is to go before (or during if you don't want tickets!) a Red Sox game. We got lucky and the sun started shining in after a cloudy day. The only thing that is a little disappointing, but understandable, is that they have to lower the garage door during the game which makes it difficult to see through the windows. Overall had decent relatively cheap drinks and good service.
