Fenway Park is turning into a vibrant place with restaurants and bars popping up all around. And another “place to be” has just “popped up” over on “Lansdowne Street.”
“The Lansdowne Pub” has arrived. The Pub is, well, let me let them explain it to you. From the pub owners themselves:
We’re
so excited to bring a true Irish pub to
of The Lansdowne Pub. “Whether or not there’s a Red Sox home game or a big show
at the House of Blues, the Lansdowne Pub is — thanks to its great food, music,
and pub experience — a destination in its own right.”
An Irish pub on a “happening” street. Sounds pretty good to me. And you know what else sounds good? The “Portobello Burger.” Bleu Cheese, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers. Sounds tasty, while also not making one feel terrible after eating it.
But “Lansdowne” has been increasing its attractiveness, and has now added to that. Making people want to come have a good time in the time surrounding the games. Or concerts for that matter, as the aforementioned House of Blues is near the park as well. The Red Sox just put up “Game On” and “Bleacher Bar” recently. Hotels are planned to go up in the near-future. Along with some shops to make the Fenway “area” a go to locale.
Shopping, food, beer, baseball, what else does one need?

Irish “pub” restaurants like that are 12 for ten cents. They should make a mint on Landsdowne, though.
Love it. With hotels, restaurants, pubs creating a destination around Fenway, the Oldest Cathedral becomes the anchor of a new social and tourist center around baseball in Boston.
This is what happened to Kenmore Square when the Hancock and Prudential towers went up, to Harvard Square when folk music took over the local pubs, to the North End when the Italian restaurants opened, to Faniuel Hall area when it turned into a mall and the new city hall went up, to the Common & Garden when 4-Seasons opened. These areas went from nice to destinations.
The legend of Fenway Park, the last hallowed ground in the A.L., will grow as the area, with Fenway as its nucleus, continues to expand and thrive. In 2037, when Fenway celebrates its 125th year and decades of sell outs, the continuously improved baseball grounds will become another treasured and untouchable part of Boston’s and New England’s unique roles in American history. Neither Yankee Stadium nor any other ballpark on earth will enjoy such a special place in international baseball legend. Build the Pubs and Hotels and they will come.
Looking forward to it. We drive up to the games from CT and are always looking out for things to do right near the ballpark before and after the games.
