The Bullpen

We got to Fenway a couple of hours before game time and found our way here for a few drinks. We didn't realize that they shut down Jersey Street to only those with a baseball ticket, but The Bullpen has it's own entrance onto Jersey Street, so avoid the main gate crowds and come here to enter the game.

Has to be the best place to pregame a Red Sox game... no competition.

Typical Boston sh*thole. Overpriced crap food, no fries with a burger for $15. The beer is warm. No wonder Boston has an inferiority complex as NY's bitch.

I'm not at all familiar with the Fenway area but stopped in here before my first Sox game. While it was busy and a little crowded, the bar line moved quickly, bartenders friendly and crowd was fun. The convenience of using the bar to enter/exit the park is very convenient.

Bullpen clarified a situation and was very quick to respond to a concern I had related to using their entrance to get into the park and the treatment I received from Fenway staff. The issue was not with BullPen it had to do with the Fenway Park staff and the fact that my ticket was a student ticket. With that being said if you have a student ticket just be aware you more than likely will not be able to use this as an entrance to Fenway (Fenway related , nothing to do with Bullpen ) . Despite this minor detail that Bullpen so kindly clarified , I would highly recommend this place. In the short time I have been in Boston it's been one of my favorite places to go before and during the game.

Quiet place on a Monday night baseball game. Went in for a light lager. Picked the Samuel Adams Wicked Easy Lager, like it stated on their chalk board menu but it clearly was a Hazy Session IPA. Bartender then said it was an Ale. What a joke... But he give me a replacement beer after paying for the IPA. Very limited beer menu. Spacious downstairs area but they closed the street entrance because premium seat holders block off the whole street until 90mins before the game starts. Interesting... Could have left through the back alley but had to make a big circle to enter back where we needed to.

Great pregame spot! Larger and less crowded than Bleacher Bar. Staff were incredibly friendly. Lots of drink of options for an affordable price. You can enter the ballpark / get your ticket scanned at the back door of the bar which was super helpful on a busy ALCS game day! Head down the alleyway at 110 Brookline Ave to find it.

Such a cool underground bar! Wonderful place to grab a beer or a snack before a Sox game! Definitely a great spot for my first game at Fenway (Even if I am a Yankee ). Super friendly staff with an awesome, chill atmosphere and great beer and mozzarella sticks!

Such a hidden spot that I don't think a lot of people know about. You can actually get in to Fenway through this bar. And you can leave and come back during the game if you want! One time it was a rain delay for the game and instead of sitting in the hot inside of Fenway we came here and got drinks (cheaper than in Fenway) and waited out the rain delay and then went back inside. 10/10 would suggest this. They serve bar food but we just typically get drinks. Such a cool spot to drink before, during or after the game!

Food was good, bar service was great, but SUPER pricey. Understandably bec of location.
