The Fours (CLOSED)

If you’re heading out to watch the game, why not beeline it to ground zero? Located a slap shot’s distance from Boston Garden, The Fours is unabashed in its home team loyalty: framed Boston jerseys, signed balls and old photos of classic games that pretty much wallpaper the place. The food is exactly what you want from a diet-free game day: chili, nachos, half-pound burgers and steak tips served with rice pilaf or a baked potato. Wine and cocktails do exist, but should you really be drinking anything but Sam Adams on tap? If forced to drag along a reluctant newbie, remind him that Sports Illustrated once deemed The Fours the best sports bar in America.
