The Cask 'n Flagon, a lively sports bar right by Fenway Park, is the go-to hangout for fans craving a boisterous atmosphere, cold beers, and pub grub before or after the game.
"FALS Bar, which is short for Finish Area Launch Site, is located near the finish line and features different tents selling beer, wine, and canned cocktails. The concession stands also offer a selection of food options." - Erika Adams, Valerie Li Stack
"The Cask, a classic Fenway-adjacent sports bar, is where everyone goes to get loose before Red Sox games because let’s be honest, beers are prohibitively expensive at Fenway Park." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"In more ordinary times, this Fenway Park adjacent bar was a popular destination for thirsty baseball fans before and after Red Sox games. It announced on its website that it is hibernating for the winter, and will reopen in the spring or sooner." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"You know how Fox always has a camera in a bar during playoff games? The one they cut to after a Sox home run to show hundreds of strangers dousing themselves in overpriced light beer? That’s the Cask ’n Flagon. It’s so close to the ballpark that you might get hit by a batting practice homer while you’re waiting in line to get in. It’ll be crowded and rowdy inside, but that’ll just get you ready for the game." - dan secatore
"The Cask ’n Flagon calls itself the most legendary sports bar in America. We can’t confirm whether that’s true, but it is true that if Carlton Fisk’s home run didn’t hit the pole, it probably would have broken one of the Cask’s windows - that’s how close this 50-year-old bar is to the ballpark. Before and after games it gets extremely crowded in here, but sometimes that’s the best part of a day at the ballpark." - Dan Secatore
