If you can’t go to a Bruins game in person, the next best possible option is surrounded by other hockey enthusiasts at a local pub, sports bar, or restaurant. Grab your friends and check out one of these local favorites, which are sure to have you cheering while enjoying delicious food and frosty drinks.
JJ Boomers
Family and locally owned and operated JJ Boomers is a perfect place to take in a Bruins game. Start out with a bowl of French onion soup baked with homemade croutons and topped with Swiss and provolone cheeses before moving on to a large selection of appetizers, salads, soups, seafood, steaks, and an assortment of other comfort foods.
Check out the numerous large HD LCD televisions showing all your favorite sports games and programs, surrounded by a collection of pool tables, lottery games, scratch tickets, Keno, and video games. Looking for music? Take advantage of the impressive jukebox system, as well as karaoke and a live DJ on weekends.
Call for daily updates on the specials at 978-970-3159. Stop in, and you may just become a regular!
Tavern in the Square
Created by a trio of friends, each with their own restaurant experiences, Tavern in the Square was established to provide Boston with something more than just your typical sports bar. In addition to being a great place to catch a Bruins game, the upbeat environment, cheerful staff, and delicious food and drink make it a favorite full-service restaurant.
From homemade clam chowder, nachos, triple-layer dip, to unique pizzas and southwest tots, you’re sure to find something to warm you up during the frigid hockey season. In addition to delicious food, the restaurant offers an extensive drink menu that includes cocktails, featured beers, year-round drafts, wine, and bottled beers.
Choose from indoor or outdoor seating, including a patio featuring state-of-the-art televisions, outdoor heaters, cozy lounge-style seating, and a crackling fireplace to keep you toasty while your Bruins tear up the ice!
The Old Court
Located in Lowell’s historic downtown district, The Old Court is an integral part of the local dining and entertainment scene while proudly maintaining authentic Irish roots. Open Monday through Saturday with daily lunch and dinner specials, the eatery provides a combination of American classic cuisine and traditional Irish favorites, like Bangers ‘n’ Mash, Fish & Chips, and Shepherd’s Pie. Feeling rebellious? Try the signature Rebel Burger topped with corned beef, bacon fried egg, lettuce, mayo, melted Vermont cheddar cheese, onion, and tomato.
Food aside, it isn’t a traditional Irish pub without a signature pint of Guinness. The Old Court delivers not only with Guinness but also with a large collection of imported and domestic beers plus an extensive selection of wines, cordials, and spirits.
With a season seven months long, there are numerous opportunities for you to check out local restaurants, bars, and pubs to catch a game. Many options are available, so we’re sure you’ll find a local spot (if not two or three!) that will quickly become a favorite.
