Frequently
Asked.
Hours, entry, game days and the house rules — the things people ask before they head down to Lansdowne Street.
Do you take reservations?
We seat walk-ins first come, first served. To lock in a table ahead of time, book through Resy. For larger groups and buyouts, see Private Events.
Do I need a game ticket to get in?
No. You don’t need a ticket — we’re open to the public, and there’s never a cover.
When’s the busiest time?
Service peaks in the two to three hours before first pitch. It depends on the day of the week and who the Sox are playing.
Can you see the game from the bar?
During the game the glass garage door comes down — you can still see out onto the field, but the players can’t see in. There’s no direct access to the field itself.
What’s the age policy?
We’re 21+ during all home games and every day after 10pm. Outside those times, guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
When are you open?
Seven days a week, 364 days a year, for lunch and dinner. Monday–Thursday 11:30am–12am, Friday–Saturday 11:30am–2am, Sunday 11:30am–10pm. Game-day hours may vary — we open two hours before every Red Sox home game.
Who owns Bleacher Bar?
We’re owned by the Lyons Group — not the Boston Red Sox.
What’s the history of the space?
The room was the visiting team’s batting cage, and was also used for field-maintenance storage, before it opened as a bar on May 16, 2008.
Do you sell merch?
Yes — grab Bleacher Bar gear in person or from the Shop.
