Cask ‘N Flagon

Cask ’n Flagon has stood beside Fenway Park since 1969, with screens throughout the restaurant keeping the game in view. The menu is built for a sports-bar meal: wings, nachos, burgers and a lobster roll, plus larger plates such as steak tips and fish and chips. The Cask Burger adds pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss and Thousand Island dressing to the beef.

At the corner of Brookline Avenue and Lansdowne Street, it puts you right beside the ballpark before or after a game. It also serves lunch and dinner outside baseball season, so you can watch other sports there throughout the year. For a reservation, the restaurant directs guests to call. Hours can shift around Fenway events, especially when a game or concert starts early.
