Want to feel close to the sports action but without the ticket price? Charlestown’s got you covered with some great, high-energy spots to watch the game. You don’t have to leave the neighborhood to experience a quintessential Boston sports bar feel with unbeatable casual vibes and delicious food and drink selections.
Blackmoor Bar & Kitchen
A perfect spot for the game and conveniently on the way to Causeway’s sports strip, Blackmoor offers spacious bar area seating with plenty of TVs to check out all the action. This casual neighborhood spot offers a large selection of rotating draughts, bottled beers, cask ale, craft spirits, and custom cocktails. Their menu features traditional classics but also unique spins on those classics – think: spinach + artichoke rangoons and buffalo chicken ‘crack.’ Blackmoor also has an outdoor patio where you can sit at the bar or a nearby table and watch a game with friends while overlooking the harbor.
Warren Tavern
Warren Tavern is not just the oldest tavern in Massachusetts; it’s also a cozy joint to gather with friends and enjoy classic bites and watch a game. There’s something so special about cheering on the Bruins and Celtics where George Washington and Paul Revere once sat! Whether you’re sitting at the bar or at a table, you can’t go wrong and are sure to feel right at home. Pro tip: order the soft pretzel sticks with Sam Adams cheese sauce or literally any of the incredible burgers.
Monument Restaurant & Tavern
If you’re looking for high energy, then Monument Restaurant & Tavern is your pick. This gastropub’s spacious bar is perfect for sipping on a signature cocktail, munching on comfort food, and chatting with neighbors. You won’t want to miss their wood-fired pizzas and creative appetizers. What goes better with cheering on your favorite Boston sports team than a spicy blackberry margarita and the Nashville hot chicken dip?!
You can’t go wrong with any of these options! They’re perfect for grabbing a bite and a beverage to watch the game without having to hit TD Garden.
