The Phoenix Landing

According to popular dining web site TheDailyMeal.com: "A sports bar by definition has to have certain elements to be deemed worthy: loads of TVs, memorabilia, a standard beer list, and bar food (to soak up said beers). What we found as we explored establishments around the country was a lot of team pride, and a new level of sports bars – ones that outdid themselves in entertainment, food, and drink. We measured our bars by the number of TVs, beers on the list, dishes on the menu, and that indefinable “it factor” that kept patrons coming back. Whether it be relics of sports memorabilia, stadium-style seating for game-watching, beer taps at bar tables, and even bar games to keep the sports (un)enthusiasts entertained, these bars have something that makes even a losing game an experience to remember."

"We know, soccer may not be every red-blooded American’s sport of choice to watch. But for the true soccer fans out there, you can’t beat Phoenix Landing: the Boston bar has every Premier League and UEFA Champions League game; plus NFL, NHL, NBA, and NCAA games. Phoenix Landing is also Boston's official Liverpool FC Clubhouse, as the team is owned by the Red Sox’s John Henry — so you know, if you’re a Red Sox fan, you just might catch a glimpse of him around. Non-soccer fans will appreciate the extensive bar-food menu and the "alternative Irish" vibe — Guinness is a mandatory drink order."

Congratulations to our good friends at the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge for the well deserved recognition as one of the best sports bars in America by The Daily Meal. Conveniently located near the Central Square Red Line T stop, this Irish owned bar & restaurant frequently fills to capacity for major soccer and rugby events. Plus the food is second to none - for selection, value and service.
