Yard House – Back Bay

Yard House in Back Bay is upstairs in the Boston Marriott Copley Place, with sports on the screens, classic rock and a large beer selection. Burgers and shareable bar food make it a straightforward choice for watching a game over a meal. This is the Huntington Avenue location, so check the branch when making plans with anyone who knows the Yard House near Fenway.

The hotel connects directly to Copley Place and the Prudential Center, a useful detail when the weather makes another walk outside less appealing. The dining room is casual, and reservations are available through the restaurant. Come for the game and the company; the televisions and music are part of the setting, rather than incidental background to a hushed dinner.
