A drop-down boxing mic falls from the ceiling if a bartender wants to make an announcement, and an antique boxing bell often gets rung if something epic goes down. Serving upscale comfort food, craft beers, and even classic cocktails, the staff is sports-smart and friendly. Parlor opens early on weekends and otherwise at 6 pm, but if there’s a big morning match brewing, you can be assured they’ll open up even earlier. Parlor is smaller than your typical Boston sports bar, but if there’s a game on, it’s on here-and if it’s not, you can request it and they’ll try to put it on the TV closest to you. Located at the Cambridge and Somerville town line, you won’t be close to any of the local stadiums, but that's all the better when it comes to parking and post-game traffic. And, if you want to get in on the action, Banners recently became the first bar in Boston to offer virtual golfing in TopGolf Swing Suites.įor the more discerning sports appreciator, there is nowhere more gracious than Parlor Sports. With 13 additional screens and five more with live game scores and stats, you won’t miss a moment. Banner’s “Dream Screen,” claims to be the largest on-screen sports viewing experience in the city.

The real thrill here, however, lies in the in-house technology to advance your viewing experience. With brunch, lunch, and dinner on offer, Banners has a lengthy menu ranging from salads, sandwiches, and burgers to more artisanal takes on New England cuisine. Situated in the former location of the Boston Garden (before it moved a few blocks over), this 25,000-square-foot restaurant and watering hole is so close to the action, you can’t help but think the walls are rattling from the energy emanating from the arena next door.

Located in the new Hub on Causeway, Banners accompanies a food hall, music venue, and movie theater, all part of a new 1.75 million-square-foot buildout attached to North Station.
