Put on your pads (ok, coat), fly out the door and touch down at any of these super fun Boston bars to watch the Super Bowl. And thanks to the Thrillist for providing some great suggestions of fun bars in the Boston area to watch the big game. There’s something for everyone from dive bars to slightly swankier sports destinations. or some great suggestions!

Boston is the best sports city in America, and we’ll be the first to tell you that! The Thrill List  says, ” If you are looking to join the masses of Massachusetts sports fans and share in their cheers, jeers, and tears, it shouldn’t be any surprise that you’ll find many of Boston’s best sports bars in close-proximity to the iconic Fenway Park and the famed Garden.”

Of course, any home town will have a place to gather and feel like you are part of professional sports’ biggest day. So what if we don’t have players in the game, whether you are rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles, we are here for the party. For the big game, or any game, the Thrillist recommends these super fun Boston bars (in alphabetical order).

Banners “accompanies a food hall, music venue, and movie theater, all part of a new 1.75 million-square-foot buildout attached to North Station.”

     

  • The Banshee

    934 Dorchester Ave. Boston 

    This bar is so Boston. Nestled in the heart of Dorchester, the Banshee is more intimate, but big on fun…and sports! It’s a neighborhood vibe. Also a top destination for international sports.

  • The Bleacher Bar

    82A Lansdowne St, Boston, MA

    As The Thrillist points out, “To really get inside the action, hit up Bleacher Bar, a sports bar tucked under the bleachers inside Fenway Park. While the one-of-a-kind view and behind-the-scenes experience at Bleacher Bar is best enjoyed on a Red Sox game day, the space is open 363 days a year”

  • Parlor Sports

    1 Beacon St, Somerville, MA

    “Parlor is smaller than your typical Boston sports bar, but if there’s a game on, it’s on here—and if it’s not, you can request it and they’ll try to put it on the TV closest to you,” according to the Thrillist. They also share that this gem of a bar serves up “comfort food, craft beers, and even classic cocktails, and the staff is sports-smart and friendly. A drop-down boxing mic falls from the ceiling if a bartender wants to make an announcement, and an antique boxing bell often gets rung if something epic goes down. Even on the off nights, Parlor finds ways to intrigue its customers with other games of chance, like their legendary, spirited, and irreverent viewings of The Bachelor.”

     

  • Phoenix Landing

    512 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA

    This is the place to be for all things sports…especially European Sports. But you can bet Super Bowl Sunday will be super fun here. As, The Thrillist recommends, “The Phoenix Landing is not only a traditional Irish bar, but it’s also one of the city’s go-to destinations when it comes to live televised European football and rugby matches. If there’s a game, it’s on. If it happens to be an early and important match, they’re open and most likely busy. Throughout the day you can expect their clientele to be clad in football jerseys cursing at all nine televisions in the space.”

  • Sporting Club

    450 Summer Street, Boston, MA

    You’ll find Sporting Club in the Seaport District, located in the Omni Hotel.
