Bullpen Kitchen and Tap

The Bullpen Kitchen and Tap has an unusual arrangement with its neighbor: its Jersey Street entrance becomes a Fenway Park gate before home games and concerts. Ticket holders can scan in there, and fans already inside the park can use the designated entrance to visit the bar during the game. If you don’t have a ticket, use the patio entrance on Brookline Avenue.

Inside, it’s a sports bar with a full kitchen and a selection of local craft beers. The family has operated it for more than four decades, and the location beside the team store makes the ballpark connection quite literal. Keep the two entrances in mind when meeting friends; on event days, arriving on the wrong side can mean an unnecessary detour.
