Foxhole

Foxhole puts a small sports bar on Newbury Street, with memorabilia covering the walls and references that run from real games to sports movies. The food suits watching a game: wings, loaded tots, pizza, burgers, and sliders, with tacos and clam chowder also on the menu. Drinks go beyond beer to margaritas, old fashioneds, and an espresso martini made with freshly brewed espresso.

You do not need a reservation. Weekend opening starts earlier than weekday service, which helps when the game is in the afternoon. The kitchen closes at 11 p.m., before the bar does, so get the food order in if dinner is part of your plan. Come for a game and a meal you can eat while keeping an eye on it.
