Pete Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 So me and my girlfriend took a trip to Boston(she is a Sox fan). We were hanging around Fenway Park- Sox are 4 wins away from WS-ground zero for Red Sox nation. We go to Bleacher Bar- one of coolest bars in all of baseball. You can watch a game from left field ground level- here is the view https://www.bostonmagazine.com/restaurants/2020/09/16/bleacher-bar-live-red-sox-game/ So big Sox bar, I walk in, the first thing I see is framed, autographed Jim Kelly Jersey. I look to right- there is a bunch of Buffalo Bill Fenway Backer shirts- awesome! I go talk to manager- "This is a Bills bar" Yes it is. It must get crazy Sundays, especially this season!? It certainly does. We put away all the tables lol Bills Mafia- we are everywhere! Even in the heart of Fenway! 1 3 1 Quote

PonyBoy Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Cool story. I'm a life long Red Sox & Bills fan who grew up in NY. Life was miserable for me until 2004.... Finally! I'm hoping this year the Bills end a little more of that misery. Bills fans truly are everywhere, they deserve a title! 1 Quote

The Bills Backers of Boston official bar in The Harp in Causeway by TD Garden. A group called the Fenway Bills Backers split off and set up at the Bleacher Bar. I avoid Lansdowne St. when the Sox are playing. But I'll probably get to the Bleacher Bar once later this season. Already did The Harp for the Miami game. 1 Quote

Hey Promo, I haven't made it to The Harp yet this year. How was the crowd for the Miami game? Quote

Every table upstairs was filled, downstairs half-full. Good crowd but nothing like the Bills-Texans playoff game when it was mobbed. 1 Quote

I've taken in a few Sox-Mets games over the years with my boss (Sox ST holder) and have grown to love the Fenway atmosphere. When Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were in the running to buy the Mets, I was 100% prepared to walk away from the Mets and jump onto the Red Sox train if they were to buy the team. Quote

Rhode Island Red Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 I lucked into being able to hit The Harp for the FishSquish a few weeks ago, not as crowded as I’ve seen it, but still; a blast. Do any of you have any knowledge of an active Bills bar in RI? There are two that appear on the Bills Backers map of the country, but they appear to be dormant… I’ve got a buddy with a cool, retro bowling alley in Cranston that I’m trying to talk into going in that direction…but he’s pretty thoroughly dyed in the Patsies wool…. A hard sell so far. 1 Quote

There's a reasonable lot about a ten minute walk away. 41 minutes ago, Rhode Island Red said: I lucked into being able to hit The Harp for the FishSquish a few weeks ago, not as crowded as I’ve seen it, but still; a blast.

A hard sell so far. Money talks. If you can guarantee him a decent crowd every Sunday that spends money he'll set his fandom aside for 3 hours Edited October 16, 2021 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote

When so was living in out there, it’s a pretty transient place so you got a lot of Western New Yorkers. Was there for the opening day overtime win over the Bears in 2014 and it was a blast. Can only imagine it’s rocking there this year. 1 Quote

I just hop on the Green Line in Brookline; ~20 min to North Station. (Also useful if I catch a buzz during the game. I always seem to end up at a table with some WNY college kids who want to share pitchers with the old guy ... 😎 ) Edited October 16, 2021 by Stranded in Boston 1 Quote
Jester Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 The Harp you used to be my go-to when I lived in Boston. That place was always packed. And I made my friend drive from CT to meet me. LOL 1 Quote
WMDman Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Happened to be in Boston for the weekend visiting friends and found that bar, cool place! 1 Quote
