Party Earth Review: Sports fans looking for rowdy camaraderie will find a congenial and boisterous crowd at the Brighton Beer Garden, a typical sports bar complete with an impressive array of big screen televisions that provide every patron with a perfect view of the game. The frat party experience begins once guests walk through the large oak doors and into the massive rectangular room decked out with the requisite memorabilia from Boston’s four professional sports teams. During big games, groups of excited sports fans and students from nearby Boston University and Boston College gather to grab a few beers and cheer on their team, while pool tables, trivia contests, and all-you-can-eat wing specials keep the mood upbeat and casual on other nights and pull in a youthful, energetic crowd looking to drink and hook up. On weekends, the venue’s downstairs club – free of cover charges and velvet ropes – comes alive when a slightly preppy crowd of students and young professionals follows the sound of pounding bass into a more intimate space. While a few red leather booths tucked into the corners provide a place for patrons to slip away for one-on-one conversations, the DJs pumping out Top 40, club, and rap music draw most of the bumping and grinding singles on to the dance floor. Generally packed every night of the week, Brighton Beer Garden offers just the right mix of sports, beer, and clubbing to create an all-out party vibe that’s a sure bet for the meet-and-mingle set.

Brighton Beer Garden Review

Tip from Lucas:

“Make sure you come to this place during the week – all their apps are half-off until 6pm – so head over after work, order up some nachos and loaded cheese fries, and watch games with your boys.”
