1 Fenway Park Baseball (Red Sox) Fenway 4 Jersey Street Boston, MA A proper game day, Green Monster seats if you can swing it Mortgage payment for good seats, still worth it Oldest park in the league and you can feel it creak (affectionately). Bring cash for the sausage guy outside. 2 TD Garden Hockey (Bruins) / Basketball (Celtics) West End 100 Legends Way Boston, MA Banner-counting, since there are approximately nine million of them Spendy, especially for playoffs Sits right on top of North Station so you can sprint for your train the second the final buzzer goes. I've done it in heels. 3 The Bleacher Bar Baseball viewing Fenway 82A Lansdowne Street Boston, MA Watching the field through the garage-door window without buying a ticket Normal bar prices, line is the real cost Technically inside the park walls, which feels like cheating in the best way. Get there before first pitch or you're standing. 4 Sweet Caroline's at Fenway Baseball viewing Fenway 100 Brookline Avenue Boston, MA Pregame chaos and the actual song playing nonstop Mid, worth it for the atmosphere If you want to feel the pregame energy without paying stadium prices, this does it. Loud. Extremely loud. 5 The Greatest Bar Multi-sport viewing West End 262 Friend Street Boston, MA Pre-Garden-game drinks, giant screens everywhere Mid to spendy on game nights Three floors of screens so you never lose the game even mid-bathroom-line. Also doubles as my trivia backup when my usual spot is booked. 6 Warrior Ice Arena Hockey (Bruins practice facility) Brighton 90 Guest Street Boston, MA Free practice viewing, way more casual than a game Free to watch most practices Nobody tells you the Bruins practice here and it's open to the public. Cheapest hockey fix in the city, hands down. 7 Harvard Stadium College football / track Allston 95 North Harvard Street Boston, MA A cheap Saturday afternoon and genuinely gorgeous old-school architecture Cheap tickets, sometimes free Concrete horseshoe from 1903 that still hosts games. Bleacher seats, bring a flask (discreetly, I don't make the rules). 8 Banners Kitchen & Tap Multi-sport viewing North End / Seaport 100 Canal Street Boston, MA Walking distance to the Garden with way shorter lines Mid My go-to when the Garden crowd floods Causeway and I want a seat that doesn't require elbowing a stranger. 9 The Baseball Tavern Baseball viewing Fenway 1270 Boylston Street Boston, MA Classic sports bar grub plus a view of the park Mid Rooftop deck basically overlooks Fenway. Underrated wing selection for a place this close to a stadium. 10 Clery's Multi-sport viewing South End 113 Dartmouth Street Boston, MA A proper bar to actually watch a game without a stadium-adjacent markup Reasonable Not trying to be flashy, just screens and decent beer, which is honestly all I want most Sundays.
