At the end of Lansdowne Street, Boston's club strip, stands Jillian's which has the amazing eating/drinking/gaming combo of a bowling alley along with 3 full levels of gaming. It's an indoor amusement park for adults with 16 lanes, over 30 pool tables, wall-sized TVs blaring sports, fundless blackjack, ping-pong, a large restaurant, 6 full bars, and a lounge restaurant, Tequila Rain, for refueling from the dancing next door. Pool tables $8/hr for 1 person, $2 for each additional person; after 6pm Friday and Saturday prices change to $10/hr for 1-2 people, $14 for 3+. Bowling $4.50 per person per game 11am-5pm, $6 after 5pm. No hats, cigars, pipes, or sweats. Under-21s, be warned: Jillian's boasts perhaps the most sophisticated ID scanner in the Western world. When the Red Sox play, Jillian sometimes becomes 21+ on Su-Th; call ahead to ask. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

They charge an $8 cover. Make reservations for tables on their stie by clicking here.

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!

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.
