McGreevy’s Boston (CLOSED)

Among the city’s countless sports bars, McGreevy’s stands out for its history and local ties. The bar’s namesake, Michael T. “Nuf Ced” McGreevy, was the founder of the most diehard fans of the Boston Americans, and the Third Base Saloon at 911 Boylston Street was their gathering spot back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today, McGreevy’s represents more than 100 years of Red Sox (and Boston) history, and the bar is a replica of the original saloon. Current owner Ken Casey, founder of the Dropkick Murphys, has ties to the team and community, resulting in fun touches like repurposed baseball bats used as lighting fixtures. Fully stocked bars and a solid beer list keep the fun going, and fans stay fueled thanks to a varied menu of elevated pub food with a New England twist.
