Looking for a sports bar near you to watch the Boston Sox?  Or a place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat before or after the game? Check out the best Boston Red Sox bars in Boston and other cities across the country!

UPDATED FOR THE MLB 2022 SEASON

The Boston Red Sox are one of those baseball teams with a national following. If you can’t make it to Fenway Park,  there are dozens of sports bars all over Bean Town where the televisions will be broadcasting the game.

And if you’re in New York City, Chicago, Illinois, Washington, DC, or practically any other city in the United States, televisions broadcasting Red Sox games are usually as close as the nearest Irish pub.

I’ve even heard that there are Red Sox hangouts all over Japan, where baseball is clearly the national sport.

I can vouch for that. The hotel I stayed at in Tokyo recently had a television in the fitness centre. And it broadcast MLB games live. I remember watching the Red Sox play as I was working out – among other MLB teams . . .

Word to the Wise

While most of these venues tend to attract Boston Red Sox fans on game day, there are no guarantees.

First of all, not all baseball games are broadcast. And even when they are, sometimes they won’t turn on the sound. Otherwise, they might show other events. And there is always the chance the venue might be booked for special activities.

Also, fans sometimes migrate to other venues. And bars sometimes close.

Therefore, you should always call ahead to make sure that the game you want to watch will be broadcast.
