Audubon Circle takes its name from the rotary that used to exist where Park Drive and Beacon Street came together, designed in 1887 by Frederick Law Olmsted. That traffic feature doesn't exist anymore, but luckily this charming bar and restaurant carries on the name. Very cozy atmosphere in this sister establishment to Miracle of Science.
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.
Excellent Tapas if you can deal with (at times) poor service or a lengthy wait. It is a romantic atmosphere, best suited to 2 or at the most 4-6 people. Not ideal for large groups. I guess that the larger the group, the poorer the service, so keep this in mind. The price range for the items varies broadly as well, but the food is so authentic and amazing you will think that you have landed in Barcelona. Neither parking nor valet, but on street parking in the neighborhood behind is easy.
Boston Billiards was hailed “the hands-down finest room in the country” by Billiards Digest, and it's easy to see why, with the club's 32 ft. long mahogany bar, dark wood accents, classy lighting, and cushy leather lounge. Most people come for the 50 billiard tables, but basic foods (most $5-8), 20 different beers (8 on tap, including $2 Miller Lite), a lengthy cocktail menu, and an arcade provide other welcome distractions. The clientele ranges from college kids to senior citizens, though suits are plentiful during happy hour. Free parking after 6pm except when there's a Sox game. Tables: before 5pm M-F $8/hr, Sa-Su $10/hr; after 5pm Su-Th $11/hr, F-Sa $13/hr. $2/additional player over 2 players. Free lessons M 7:30pm. W ladies night: 25% off for each woman when up to 3 playing, or free for 4 per table.

Copperfield's, located on Brookline Ave just a stone's throw from Fenway Park, is a great alternative to the more popular Game On! and Cask and Flagon. The ambiance of Copperfield's may not stand up to its more polished competitors, but where Copperfield's lacks in aesthetic charm it compensates for in great service. While your buddies are vying for a barstool before or after a Sox game, you can show them how savvy you are by easily snagging a comfortable seat (and several beers) at Copperfield's. They might not be impressed with the dungeon-like decor, but they'll certainly be glad that you've found someplace to drink that doesn't involve battling tourist and fans for a place to stand.
If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and some passable pub grub Copperfield's isn't your place. This bar only serves beverages.
Open weekdays from Noon-2am. Hours vary on game days.
Literally an underground bar, it's located in the heart of BU's campus. Not known for its decor, scene, or for anything for that matter. Plus side: It has cheap beer and a pinball machine. Also has television sets for the games. Potentially a good spot for pre-game and post-game partying considering its proximity to the Fenway. Cash only.
Cross Streets are
Cummington and Babbit streets
Daily 12pm-1am
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.
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.
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.
