Party Earth Bleacher Bar Review

The Scene

Although there are plenty of bars around Fenway Park, none of them offer a view quite like Bleacher Bar.

Fenway / Kenmore, Boston –

Although there are plenty of bars around Fenway Park, none of them offer a view quite like Bleacher Bar.

Tucked under the Green Monster’s bleachers, the one-time batting practice room is now a classy Sox bar with a wall-spanning window that looks directly out onto center field.

Tourists and crowds of Boston University students pile into the open space, vying for spots at one of the three high-top tables by the window, while the rest of the high-spirited fans and season ticket holders crowd into booths or huddle around the bar to enjoy cheap drinks and quick snacks.

A relaxed hangout during the off-season, the bar really comes alive on game days, when a forty-five minute time limit on the window tables gives fans without a ticket a chance to enjoy a drink and witness the action.

The rest of the enthusiastic crowd keeps its eyes glued to one of the eight flat-screen TVs, high-fiving each other over home-runs, or checks out the Sox’s storied past that covers the green walls in the form of old news articles, framed jerseys, and photo collages.

Red Sox fans looking for a unique baseball viewing experience and a friendly neighborhood vibe will find it at Bleacher Bar, an upbeat venue that deserves its place beneath the hallowed bleachers of Fenway Park.

Tip from Lucas:

You’ll never miss a moment of the game here – there’s even a window over the urinal in the men’s bathroom that looks out onto the field!

Crowd

Red Sox fans and baseball enthusiasts of all ages.
Entertainment / Music

Viewing the Red Sox from center field. Flat-screen TVs tuned to Boston sports.
Food / Miscellaneous

Menu of snacks and deli food including salads, sliders, and sandwiches.
Prices

Snacks $3–$9, salads $6+, sandwiches and sliders $7–$12. Beer $3.50–$8, wine $6+, cocktails $5.50+.

What to Wear / Dress Code

Casual, though Red Sox attire is recommended.
Hot Nights / When to Go

Great during any home game, though the bar is also good on non-game days for relaxing drinks, and – when the weather is nice and the garage door is lifted – an excellent view of the field.
Close By

Right across the street is Lansdowne Pub (9 Lansdowne Street), another haunt of Red Sox fans featuring live music and a hefty beer selection.

Amanda Dupont Jun 10, 2013 3.0 stars Bleacher Bar This is a fun little (emphasis on the little) spot tucked under Fenway park with reasonably priced beer and a monstah view. You're literally on the field and can watch the players warming up before the game, and if you don't have tickets it's a wonderful place to watch the game. I would recommend that patrons get there early on game days because it fills up quickly and if you're looking to grab a bite to eat before the game the wait can get up to over an hour and a half. All in all it's a great spot for a drink and the view really can't be beat. It's a must see.

slr8205 Apr 2, 2013 4.0 stars Unprecedented Fenway Experience at Bleacher Bar If you're a history buff, this is your place! The fact that you’re literally under the bleachers of Fenway Park, one of the nation’s oldest and most historical ball parks, is awesome all by itself. If it's for one reason, and one reason only, the priceless and unprecedented view into the park should be on top. Tucked away in the center of Landsdowne St., it’s sure to draw Red Sox Nation on game day. The space can get tight, so on game days, plan ahead. Non-game days, it's comfortable and fitting for casual or intimate occasions. It's a great after work hangout or for an informal gathering with friends. For the beer connoisseurs out there, or not, show your Beantown spirit and try the locally brewed (Westminster, MA) Monsta Ale. The food is cheap and the portions are huge, so come with an appetite. The grilled cheese with Irish bacon and cheddar is said to be a house hit.

Billy Kirland Dec 18, 2012 4.0 stars So Close To The Game... You're in It! Not many bars across the nation allow you to stand at a urinal, take care of your business, and look out onto one of the oldest and most cherished sporting venues in the world. Bleacher Bar is unique because it is literally built into Fenway, but feels perfectly removed. When you enter the narrow and cramped bar, you feel like you have traveled back in time to a literal hole in the wall bar outside of Fenway. The crowd is a healthy mix of Boston University students, tourists, and die-hard Red Sox fans. I suggest getting there extremely early if you want a good spot and especially if you want a seat. You feel like you're in Fenway as you look around and see pennants, retired jerseys, and beautiful murals... but you also feel like you're in Fenway because of how small and crowded the bar is. Beer isn't exactly cheap, but it's cheaper than a cold one at the game. If you're not wearing some type of sports paraphernalia, you most likely won't fit in. Boston fans are tough, so get ready to be playfully chastised if you're wearing anything besides a Red Sox shirt. Overall, the food is pretty good, especially anything on the appetizer menu. If you have time, you should try to get a burger at UBurger on the BU campus so all you have to worry about are drinks at Bleacher Bar. If you've always wanted to play center field with a beer in your hand, this is your place!

comurp12 Dec 12, 2012 3.0 stars Unbeatable view of Fenway Park The Bleacher bar offers a really unique and unbeatable view of Fenway Park. The bar sits in center field so you can check out the game without having to stay in your seat but rather have a fun bar atmosphere. It is also a great place to go, and take friends, when you aren't going to a game or event in the park so you can still see the park! Fenway is such a neat park and the Bleacher bar gives you such a sweet view of the field.

Kevin Smyth Dec 10, 2012 4.0 stars The Bleacher Bar The bar is literally under the bleachers of fenway park. The back wall of the bar has a window that looks onto center field of fenway which makes for a cool atmosphere if you are there during a red sox game. During football season the place turns into a Buffalo bar filled with buffalo bills fans (on sunday). They serve local buffalo brews and wings, and the bills game will be on every TV without fail.

Alicia2010 Nov 21, 2012 3.0 stars A view money can't buy... If your a Red Sox fan without a ticket to the big game, head to Bleacher Bar. But make sure you get there fairly early. There are only a few tables that look directly onto the field. Unfortunately you won't be able to sit there the entire game, as there are others waiting for their turn. Don't worry, there are plenty of televisions lining the space for continued viewing....and you'll be in spirited company! The room is an old batting practice space of the Red Sox and its chock-full of Sox memorabilia, so any novice can brush up on their history during the visit.
