Red Sox Country's best bars, pre-game and post-game routes, and the historic dive bars that Boston fans actually drink in.
Fenway Park is the oldest baseball stadium in America and the bars surrounding it have been serving baseball fans since 1912. The Fenway neighborhood — Kenmore Square, Lansdowne Street, and the stretch of Brookline Avenue toward the park — contains some of the most historic sports bars in American baseball culture alongside a new generation of craft beer bars and cocktail rooms that have transformed the neighborhood in the past decade.
This guide covers Lansdowne Street's historic baseball bar strip, Kenmore Square's pre-game hub, Cambridge's world-class cocktail bars, and the practical logistics for navigating Boston's bar scene on game day.
82A Lansdowne Street
The most unique baseball bar in America — built into the center field wall of Fenway Park with a window looking directly onto the field. On game days, fans drink at the bar while watching the game through the Green Monster. Arrive early — window bar seats fill 2+ hours before first pitch.
82 Lansdowne Street
The largest sports bar near Fenway — 100+ screens, enormous capacity, and the post-game crowd that materializes here within minutes of the final out. Loud, busy, and exactly what the post-game atmosphere calls for.
1 Lansdowne Street
A country music bar within the shadow of Fenway Park that has become one of Boston's most reliably fun nights out. Live country music, line dancing, and a crowd genuinely there for the music. The combination of Boston sports culture and Nashville country music honky tonk works perfectly.
