7 Places to Watch the Game

Seapoint Bar & Grill
A neighborhood favorite since 1979, this family-owned bar and grill is surrounded by flat screen TVs so you can watch your favorite game with ample sound and quality.  Slice into Seapoint's famous steak tips, or opt for some potato skin teasers and enjoy the friendly and welcoming atmosphere.  Everyone loves a good Bloody Mary for brunch, and Seapoint is the place to get 'em!  Their mile-high Marys are a perfect addition to their tasty breakfast, which is served from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. every Sunday.  Not a big Boston sports buff?  Stick around when the game ends and enjoy Seapoint's other forms of fun and entertainment, including live music and pool tables as well.  Don't worry about parking, as there are plenty of spots to be filled right around the corner!  Seapoint's Bar & Grill, 367 East Eighth Street, 617-268-1476.

Cornerstone Pub
Great location, great food, great time!  The Cornerstone Pub recently installed brand new booths and TVs so you can get up close and personal with the Pats.  For all of you Shipyard Pumpkin fans, the Cornerstone has it on tap just in time for the fall season (and for cheap!) Located directly across from the Broadway T stop, this pub is a neighborhood favorite with great eats, such as their steak tips and mashed potatoes, burgers and more!  If you're looking to soak up some Southie atmosphere, grab a beer and a burger, then Cornerstone is your place to go.  The drinks are cheap and the game is always on.  What more could you ask for?  16 West Broadway, 617-268-7158.

L Street Tavern
When it comes to watching sports, Boston fans can be pretty particular with tradition (and enthusiastic for that matter).  Some people have to wear their favorite jersey, even if it's covered in filth.  Others have to get in every word of the pre-game report while sipping on their favorite beer.  If you're one of those Boston sports buffs who likes to hear the crowds cheer, and the sound of the ball hitting the bat when Big Papi makes that homerun, L Street Tavern turns off the music and turns the TVs up anytime there's a game on.  Home of the famous Boston flick, Good Will Hunting, L Street is full of Southie history and some of the biggest sports fans in the area. Head on down for a "Sunday Funday" for your favorite game, and enjoy cheap drinks, good friends and good times!  195 L Street, 617-268-4335.

Touchie's Shamrock Pub
Shamrock Pub is another great, no-nonsense local bar with cheap drinks and diehard Patriots fans.  Grab a $4 cocktail or $2 Bud Light and catch the latest game with some of Southie's best!  Just a block from the beach, Shamrock's bartenders are friendly and welcoming, and serve up specialty drinks at your request.  If you're hungry for a bite, Touchie's has $7 burgers with fries and a fried haddock sandwich to boot.  If you're looking for a great bar with flat-screen TVs and lots of local color, shimmy on down to Shamrock for the next game.  501 East Eighth Street, 617-268-0007.

Local 149
As one of Southie's newest additions, Local 149 serves up over 20 draught beers for you to sip on as the Yankees and Red Sox duke it out at Fenway.  Ditch the wings and indulge in the delectable yet moderately priced fare including the tantalizing duck drum sticks, fried clams with a twist, fried brussels sprouts with chipotle lime sauce, or even the fresh catch of the day.  If your lookin' for some sippins', Local 149 offers tasty beers and crafted cocktails that will surely boost your game-time adrenaline.  According to the Boston Globe, this upscale, yet comfortable eatery has passed the tough Southie test.  The nationally-merited publication explains, "Upscale comfort food may be overdone everywhere else in the city, but in South Boston, it's still refreshing, an alternative to pervasive pub fare.  Local 149...here to serve those who live nearby, and it does its job well."  149 P Street (between Sixth Street and Columbia Road), 617-269-0900.
