3 Best Bars in Massachusetts, USA

Beantown Pub cleverly posits itself to be "the only pub in the world where you can drink a cold Sam Adams while viewing a cold Sam Adams." And it's true, since this casual bar sits across from the Granary Burying Ground where the Founding Father is interred. The bar is always lively no matter the time of day. It's a fine place to watch multiple sports events on television, shoot pool (bring some quarters!), or people-watch. There's also a standard pub menu, usually served until midnight. Fun fact: Beantown Pub cooks up baked beans and brown bread, a traditional Boston dish. No kids are allowed after 6 pm.

Famous for its enormous garage window which looks into Fenway Park, this spot is an especially cool place to be on game days as it's a sneaky way to see a Red Sox game. It's also a fun place to relax with friends, nosh on nachos or fries, and catch all sorts of sporting events on TV.

One of the Boston area's favorite homegrown beer makers recently opened this large restaurant and taproom in the Seaport, and beer fans can now quaff exclusive Lord Hobo beers and core faves from the last decade from the 16 rotating drafts. The menu includes sandwiches, tacos, and flatbreads, and there's a massive patio that's open in nice weather. Incidentally, this place is just steps from Harpoon Brewery, making it easy to have a hoppy pit-stop twofer.
