Go to a baseball game at Fenway Park, even if you don't know what a “foul ball” is. Fenway remains the most intimate, beautiful ballpark in the league, and it would be a shame if you never saw the original in case it ends up being rebuilt. With 7 World Series titles under their belt, the Red Sox have reclaimed their spot of victory. Perhaps the most legendary baseball team of all time, the Sox had not won a World Series since 1918 until the reversal of the curse in 2004. Boston fans are the most avid in all sports, and the Red Sox had set that precedent even back in 1901 when they were called the Boston Americans. If you are lucky enough to come by a ticket these days, go to a game. It will be one of the most fun things that you will do all year.
A famous watering hole, often featured in live camera shots during crucial Red Sox games. The Cask 'n Flagon is where
Red Sox nation gathers to celebrate or commiserate.
Recently featured in the Reebok ad that debuted during the 2007 World Series - Donny Wahlberg sat at the bar here, and Bobby Orr walked by too. Those heading to a game can save a few bucks by filling up on the Cask's straightforward bar fare and skipping the ballpark's expensive snacks.
The walls are lined with high-definition TVs and photos that depict the histories of Fenway and the Sox. Locals fill the huge wraparound bar that resides in the middle of the main room while keeping an eye on all the sports news via an ever-present sports ticker. The Cask has some of the city's most aggressive bouncers--be on your best behavior.
Boston Beer Works is the oldest brewery/restaurant combo in Boston. They have 3 locations, this one across from Fenway is bustling during baseball season and throughout the year. The beers on tap change weekly. Usually there are several seasonal offerings to go along with a stable of beers, ranging from light to dark. There are alternatives for those not inclined towards the hop-laden brews too.
The food is excellent - basic American bar food done right. And what's better than tucking into a burger and a beer? Chowing down right next to the tanks where that beer was made.
Hotel Buckminster dates to the early years of Kenmore Square being created (1897) and the architect of this building was Stanford White (of the girl on the red velvet swing fame). There are 200 rooms in this hotel - which was restored in the 1990s after suffering its way through the 1980s.

The hotel was the site of the first network radio broadcast. In 1929 WNAC Radio had its studios on the upper floors (we know it as WRKO today). The had a TV and radio station in this building through the 1960s. In the 1940s part of the hotel was taken over by the military and then for a while it was a college dorm.
Mauluken is karaoke headquarters in Kenmore Square, the restaurant offers it nightly from 9pm until 1am.
Serving a wide range of Japanese food and offering take-out Maluken is a good spot for lunch or dinner.
But it's not until later that the action really gets started.
Opening up in January 2008, the 3,000-square-foot space occupies the ground level of graduate housing at 580 Commonwealth Ave. just outside of Kenmore Square. The restaurant has 90 seats, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant serves beer and wine.
WEEI is the radio voice of the Boston Red Sox. Their studio fronts onto Lansdowne Street. So if you can't get tickets, you can stand on the street listening to your radio and watching the guys call the game through the big windows.
The words An Tua Nua originates from the term "A New Beginning" in Gaelic. An Tua Nua is a new gathering place or focal point within the community for socializing and sharing stories, daily events, and in our case, great food with a great beverage. Creating a true and authentic environment is the hallmark of An Tua Nua. The idea is to bring the best of what Ireland has to offer to the States. An Tua Nua has done this by creating a true and authentic pub environment which brings the "Craic" of the Irish to the pubs. "Craic" (Pronounced crack) means a fun, friendly and exuberant atmosphere. Each night of the week we have something different planned, from Country Sundays, to Ceremony which is a Goth night on Monday nights, Wednesdays have both Salsa Dance Lessons and Karaoke, Thursday through Saturdays are Top 40, so come on by and experience a bit of Ireland in your own backyard located on block from Kenmore Square, and Fenway Park. Slainte.
Located in Fenway a few short doors down from Manny Ramirez' favorite launching pad, Bill's Bar is the unofficial Dirty Rock Club of Lansdowne Street, harkening back to Boston's rock n' roll glory days. With live shows each night, Bill's features the sleaziest grind on the strip, from nationally touring metal bands to the best of a blossoming local indie scene. Each Friday, Bill's is the hotspot for edgy live music on Lansdowne -- the Dirty Rock Club is back. Drink up!
