Where To Hang Out Near Fenway
Ah, baseball season is almost upon us once again! We have made it through another long winter and are ready to say hello to strikeouts and Fenway Franks. I highly recommend taking in a Red Sox game at Fenway if you have the chance, as Fenway Park is walking distance from The Lenox Hotel and it is the perfect spring and summer activity. The Fenway neighborhood has developed significantly even over this past year and there are a bevy of options for pre or post-game food, drinks, or just people watching. If you don’t have tickets to the game, there are still some great options to watch the game with locals, have a few drinks, and eat some delicious food! I’m sharing some of my favorite options with you and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
Cask n’ Flagon
This is definitely one of the staple Fenway pre-game spots. You are sure to find the place packed with spirited Red Sox fans on day games, so plan on getting there a little bit early if you’re planning on sitting down to eat. If the weather is on your side for the game you’re attending, they have a great sidewalk patio right next to the park, so you’ll really be able to take in the whole Fenway scene. And don’t forget to order the nachos!
Fenway Johnnies
Fenway Johnnie’s is a lively bar and restaurant located just steps from Fenway Park, making it a popular pre- and post-game hangout. With its energetic atmosphere, full bar, and classic American menu, it’s a go-to spot for fans looking to grab a bite or a drink on game day. The venue features live music, plenty of TVs for watching sports, and a spacious layout that includes both indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you’re in the mood for burgers, wings, or a cold beer, Fenway Johnnie’s delivers a true Boston sports bar experience
Loco Fenway
This is one of Fenway’s most popular spot around the park for either a pre-game drink or a trio of taco flights before heading in. This establishment attracts locals and visitors alike all year round, long after Fenway has closed its doors for the season. It brings the energy (and the margaritas) for a guaranteed great game.
Cisco Brewery
With its sister location on the opposite side of the city in Boston’s Seaport, it was about time Cisco opened up its new Fenway location. Originally a Nantucket Brewery, Cisco has made its way off-Island and took its popular along with it. A spacious outdoor beer garden known their unique beers and seltzers, live music, and iconic blue turf, it is an ideal spot to grab a drink and meet up with friends on a sunny afternoon before a game.
Bleacher Bar
And last, but not least…what would a list about Fenway be with a mention of Bleacher Bar? This is one of Boston’s most unique sports bars in the whole city, located beneath the centerfield bleachers with a direct eyelevel view into the iconic ballpark. It’s a favorite spot for Red Sox fans to grab a drink, enjoy pub food, and soak in the game-day atmosphere—whether or not you have a ticket. This unique bar will tun you into a true Bostonian, making it a must-visit if you’re looking for an authentic Fenway experience.
