Celebrating the 10-year mark, this bar’s main draw never gets old: It’s inside Fenway Park—under the bleachers, specifically—and you don’t need a ticket to enjoy views of Jackie Bradley Jr.’s backside. But there’s more to gawk at than just the field, as the walls are filled with Sox mementos and even the restrooms are adorned with former signs from the historic ballpark. With a menu featuring more than two dozen sandwiches like a burger topped with pastrami, you might take your eyes off home plate long enough to enjoy what’s on your own plate.
