Cask's Flagon should be protected at all costs. Over the years some of the iconic bars around Fenway park have closed. The game day experience is vastly different than a non game day experience. This is not the place for an intimate or quick meal/drink if you can even find a spot when there is a game that day. The service has never been that good even on non-game days but it is hard to find a more lively or a better spot to watch the game. read more

Cask'n Flagon is a Sports Bar in Fenway with lots of group seating and is great for watching games. We went in to watch the Bills vs. Seahawks game before the superbowl with a group of 4 and were seated quickly even though it was crowded. The waiter was really pressuring us to order something even though we let him know we were waiting for a few people. We eventually ordered a round of drinks, but he forced us to order food as well since he claimed we were taking up a whole table. We ordered fries and let him know that we were still waiting for others, but he still came back 2 or 3 times to ask us to order other things. The beer I ordered was good and the sweet potato fries were crispy and flavorful, but I feel like I couldn't enjoy it since the service was so bad. read more

Fun sports bar with pretty loud music. The service was great and we were quickly asked about drinks and apps. The cauliflower bites were delicious. The BBQ pork burnt ends were too dry and tough. Even the massive amount of bbq sauce wasn't enough to hide it. I liked the sweet potato fries but the cornbread was also old and hard. read more

We were told to stop at Cask'n Flagon for a beer before heading to Fenway. It is literally right next to the ballpark, so easy to access before heading to a game. There was actually a nice selection of beers on tap and they had fried cauliflower on the menu, a fave of mine and the hubs. Service was quick, especially given how busy it was. I can see why this is a popular spot to hit before a game. read more

Came with a group of 7 before the game. Arrived around 5pm and took 30 minutes or so to be sat. Super busy when we arrived and the energy was high. Menu gave a lot of options and I was able to get the Cesar salad with blacked chicken as a wrap vs salad. The wrap was tasty, chicken a tad dry and could have used a bit more dressing. Sweet potato fries were nice and crisp. As a group got the cauliflower bites (tasty with a slight kick), buffalo chicken dip in bread bowl (tasty as well) and loaded tater tot's (highly recommend). The service was great however one member of the group didn't get their meal as the incorrect prep was out into the system. There was a bit of a lag for service between drinks and food order but overall good times. read more

It's my first time in Boston, first time at Fenway Park, this bar came highly recommend it, so glad we decided to eat here. It was the middle of the week during the day so wasn't very crowded which was nice. The food surprised me. It's very good, the barbecue particularly. The servers and the bartender we're both very nice and attentive.. It's huge inside. This place is probably popping off at night. Wish we could've came, but we've tried to beat the huge storm that was coming in that night so we went out earlier. Did our tourist thing. Thank you for a great experience. read more

The service was great and down to earth here didn't feel like talking to a script. The waitress was also very informative about the items we ordered. A little slow but it was a pretty busy Saturday night. we didn't really notice as we came here before a concert and were having a good time catching up. The food was good and not too expensive considering the location. I got the fried chicken sandwich which had a great blend of sweet mango salsa combined with chipotle mayo. I opted for the sweet potato fries on the side which were also good! They have mostly high rise seating from what I could see, and I'm a bit short so I'm not a huge fan of that but that's just a personal preference. I'd love to come back next time I'm in town and try some of the other menu items! read more

Stopped in during a trip to Boston, and we ate after touring Fenway Park. They were able to accommodate our large group, and the food was absolutely delicious! Hands down, the best quesadilla I have ever had. The spices dusted on top were incredible! I'm so sad that I live in the Midwest and can't eat this on a weekly basis. We also ordered a few baskets of fries for the table, and WOW those were amazing! Boston is lucky to have this place. read more

They fancied this place up over the years, but it's still THE PLACE in the Fenway neighborhood on a game day. We went in after a game with the Dodgers, and a few of Dodger Blue got a little too lubricated. The staff shut it all down without it sliding too much sideways. read more

Fenway itself is pretty insular with everything revolving around Fenway Park. And just a stones throw from the ballpark is Cask'n Flagon which is a sports bar type place with plenty of seating and TVs. To our great surprise we were seated very quickly and that was the theme our entire time there. Our service was excellent in terms of friendliness, speed of taking an order, and our food coming out. Everything was very kind and very prompt considering how busy it was and I was thoroughly impressed. As for the food and drinks, the mixed drinks were not bad but a little sweet for our tastes. The food was typical sports bar food but for its simplicity it was made pretty well. Overall Cask'n Flagon was a nice family friendly place with decent food and great service, a good place to stop before a Sox game. read more

Convenient spot to stop for a bite and drinks if attending an event at Fenway. The restaurant is huge so it's easy to get seating. Latoya J provided 5 star service. I'd rate the food at 3 stars, it was run of the mill. The cocktails were unfortunately 2 stars, beer would've been a better choice. read more

We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before the Def Leppard/Journey concert. It was packed but still got a table for four in under 10 minutes. This place is loud but well worth stopping by. Our waitress was quick to get our drink orders and appetizers. The beers are reasonably priced for being across the street from Fenway. We split the jumbo pretzel and loaded tater tots. I was surprised when the food came out 10 mini after we ordered. Very pleasantly surprised with both the pretzel and the tots. Great taste and good sized portions for $15. Definitely give this place a try. read more

I won't lie... I came in with low expectations and they were far exceeded even if I came in expecting the best. Vibe? Exceptional. Loud. Baseball lovers paradise. The Fenway magic spills into this place. It's full of baseball fans which gives it a magical baseball feeling. Service? Our server was slammed and still ensured that we were greeted right away, we never had an empty glass for beer and water, we ordered immediately when we were ready, and she helped us cash out quickly (even adding last minute beers without complaint or hesitation). She was kind, she gave great suggestions, and never seemed overwhelmed despite the insane crowd. Food? I was so surprised by how good the BBQ was. We got the burnt ends platter and it was better than most I have had. They were a bit fattier than I hoped but flavors were off the chart. The pickled onions were made perfectly, the sweet potato fries weren't soggy, and the corn bread muffin was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I would go out of my way to go here before every game if/when I have the chance to go back. read more

I get it, it's a sports bar next to the ballpark. So some exuberance is a bit expected. But Lord, what is with the pounding dance club crap?? I went to Foreigner, Journey, Brian Adams and others, and spent time in rock bars in the 1980's. The music volume in this place was completely ridiculous- no excuse for it. I just wanted to eat nachos and drink beer after a Sox game, but I'm going deaf doing that. The food hasn't even arrived and I know I can't give better than 2 stars due to the poor music decisions. REVISION: I spoke with the manager and she agreed the the music volume was crazy. They brought it down about 20dB to a loud level that was tolerable. Thanks, Jenny! read more

Came to Cask'n Flagon for the first time with my girlfriend last night, and left feeling very satisfied! We walked in on a Friday around dinner time, and were seated right away. At first glance, it was a bit loud and crowded (as expected for a sports bar), but the waitstaff took us to a more secluded area within the restaurant (might I mention, unprompted) which was more quiet. This was appreciated! The service was phenomenal, and all of the waitstaff was very friendly. Our food came quick (within 20 minutes) and it was MIGHTY delicious! My girlfriend and I split the Buffalo chicken wrap and grilled chicken focaccia sandwiches. We each order one entree so we could share and split them! On the side we got fries and a Caesar salad-- the salad was a substitute and we were able to order it without any extra charge! The portions were perfect, the food was fresh, and amazing. The grilled chicken sandwich was extremely flavorful and the pesto sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The Buffalo chicken wrap was very good, but slightly messy. The fries were average and the salad was good, but I would've liked a little bit more dressing! Overall, we had a great time here, and will definitely be back! read more

Well, considering what a tourist attraction this is being across from Fenway, so many TVs & large space, you wouldn't guess that it has the best homemade veggie burger in town. Like for real, you will not find any better, anywhere in the city. I am super grateful that they continue to make it. Too many other places replace it w/ various frozen brands of crap, but not here. The sweet potato fries are not to be missed, plus the regular fries are actually also better than most too. The service provided by Emma was top-notch-- she was super friendly & accommodating--give her a raise!! So I highly suggest coming here during the off-season, or during the week when it's more chill & not loud & rowdy. You can thank me later. read more

Spent many years walking by this place and finally decided to try it. Location wise, it is great. It is located right near fenway Park (parking around here can be expensive depending on when you are there. Avoid parking there during events if you don't want to pay an arm and leg). Someone in my party was already there when I arrived, so we were immediately seated. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside, which was nice. I didn't step inside the restaurant. So, I can not comment on the interior or the ambiance. Our waiter arrived shortly after sitting and was very friendly. They were new to the job but did a good job. Someone in our party had a gluten allergy, and they took that very seriously, which was nice to see. The drinks were very tasty. The food was mediocre. I ordered a foccia grilled chicken sandwich, and I wish that the bread was warmed and the cheese/cheese spread was melted more. Also, I was the bread was more of a foccia bread rather than a fluffy roll. The sweet potato fries were tasty but I wish they arrived hot read more

I heard about this place while listening to Red Sox games and/or sports talk radio but I never thought of actually going. I was recently at a Red Sox game and decided to bar hop around Fenway. Cask'n Flagon was one of those bars. I didn't realize how big the place was, tons of seating and even places to stand. The vibe of the place is cool and there are plenty of tv's to watch sports. However, the food was just your typical bar food and the service was not great. The guy at the entrance was rude and was bending my nephews ID like he was shuffling a deck of cards. The place is fun enough if you're going to watch a game and drink beer. read more

Great location, adequate service, terrible food. The clam chowder was glutinous, cold, and virtually clam-free. My Caesar salad came out drowning in dressing. I sent it back. I got more lettuce so that problem was resolved but I got 3 croutons and virtually no Parmesan cheese. read more

We stopped here after a Fenway Park tour because we needed to sit and have a snack. We each got a drink and shared a HUGE piece of Oreo Ice Cream Pie. It was really good and definitely large enough to share. They have a nice outdoor seating area and the service was good. read more

We've lived here for 16 years and only came for the first time in August. Quick late lunch after on a Friday afternoon. Not too crowded. Fried chicken sandwich was perfection. Probably my favorite chicken sandwich ever. That says a lot! Fenway burger was solid , juicy, not too greasy (notes from hub) Service was great. Music still a little loud even for lunch but oh well. Will definitely come back and only for lunch. read more

We came here as a central location before a Red Sox/Padres game. Several families were meeting up, so we needed a large place for 15-20 people. They were very accommodating and put us in the club area that was empty when we arrived; perfect for a bunch of loud kids and their parents. We ordered drinks for all, but didn't eat here. Service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed our time there. This is a great place to come before a Sox game, especially the outside area! read more

I'm kicking myself for thinking I could ever eat here. Picture this: 2.5 hours before a game, kinda crowded not packed. Some food never came. Some drinks got poured twice. That happened twice. The Cask Burger was what I wanted, cooked medium. What I got a was burnt, cold, faux-Western type burger with what looked to be raw bacon. Awful. Set the bar low folks, and you'll still be disapp read more

You think a bar close enough to Fenway would have their stuff together but the only good thing about it was the food... if you want to wait 20 min for a drink that's wrong than try it out ... think our server came over three times then entire time we were there ....might want to staff more or find better servers. read more

Drinks and food before or after the game! Or whenever you want! Visit this staple for a round and a bite and you won't be disappointed

This place is terrible from the service to the management and to the food. I legit found a paper in between my cheese and burger that like comes with cheese in package... the management was terrible at handling the situation super rude & honestly gave a uncomfortable vibe. My order also took over an hour for one single burger and fries and my two friends order chicken tacos which were alright. Other then that I do not recommend this bar what so ever there is a ton of other great places down on Fenway ! read more

One of the busiest sports bars in the city. Don't sleep on their food either. Boasting an expensive smoker, top quality BBQ options and classic American cuisine options satisfy all your hunger before and during big game days! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. My friends and I are visiting from out of town to come see a baseball game at Fenway park and received the worst service ever. After the game we went to go eat and stopped here for drinks after. As we ordered 6 beers for 6 people, the bartender mentioned he had to ask his boss if he could serve us... from the start we were getting weird looks and felt a bit uncomfortable? We couldn't understand why. As we tried to order again, Chris the bartender pointed out we couldn't order a shot until we finished our beer. We asked why and he pointed out to our friend that he was slurring his words. Never did our friend have a conversation with him so for him to call him out was petty. We felt judged and racially profiled. We were next to a group of 4 women that looked like they'd been drinking all day but were still receiving service. We kept asking questions now because we were offended and we received ignorant responses and stories changing. It wasn't a friendly place. The bartenders looked annoyed to be there and gave the worst customer service. The bouncers were hostile. Rude and unwilling to care for the situation. Jenn the manager tried to listen but I doubt any action will be taking into account. Save your time and do NOT come here!! read more

I found this place looking for something close the venue I was working in this week. I got the clam chowder and the fish sandwich. I Loved both, but the sandwich was outstanding. The batter seemes to have just a little bit of coconut flakes in it. Not enough to stand out, but just enough to give it a little texture and flavor that really works. Not sure exactly what it was in the sammich batter, but it worked great. Their sweet potato fries were good too. If they weren't fresh cut, then they were the best food service fries I've had, ever. read more

This is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before attending a concert at Fenway Park! The chicken wings were surprisingly good and even in the crowded bar our server was very attentive.

The Cask is a must-stop if you attending a Sox game. Get there early to secure a seat at the bar. The Cask has a good selection of local beers and a full bar. We did not eat but the folks around us were and they reported that the food was very good. There is also a sidewalk sitting area if you are into that, we aren't. Fans for both teams easily mingle here so feel free to wear your team gear. read more

I had one of the worst experiences on Thursday evening. I will preface this with I've been here many times before, mostly before Sox games where the service is on point even though they are slammed. That CANNOT be said for what I experienced last night. The restaurant was maybe 3/4 full but the bar was practically empty (6-8 patrons). The hostess was friendly and quick to greet but that was where the good service ended. I sat at the bar and the bartenders took 10 minutes to even acknowledge me. When I placed my order (wings and fries) I was told there was an issue in the back and the chef had come out to "read the riot act" to the bartenders. The wings and fries were both lukewarm when I received them. I didn't receive any silverware/napkins from the bartenders when they delivered my food and luckily a nice server dropped some off well after my food was delivered. Not once did the bartenders come to check on me and they walked past my empty dishes a few times without clearing. I'm not sure what was going on but with how few patrons were at the bartenders I would have expected better service. read more

A sports bar punching a bit above its weight. Cask'n Flagon seems like the type of place that gets packed whenever there's a Red Sox game in Fenway. It was pretty empty for a Patriots game during the horrible 2023 season and on Thanksgiving weekend, so this may not be the most representative experience. Service was friendly. The cocktails were surprisingly decent and their menu showed that they are trying to offer both food and drinks beyond the typical sports bar fare. I appreciate that they play the sound for games (not only on the dining room, but even in the bathrooms!) A good spot to watch the game and grab some drinks and eats. read more

This place hit the spot. As good tourists, we toured Fenway and stopped in for a drink and snack. The bartender was great, really easy-going. Mr Muscle ordered some beer, pretzel, and boneless buffalo tenders. Bartender tells us that every thing is made on-site. And I believe him because the chicken tenders were incredibly good. Fresh, perfectly breaded, and cooked. Excellent choice. Based on these tenders, I would recommend anything in the place! Great sports pub, I could only image what the place looks like during the baseball season. read more

Came down here for a socks game and found this place because it was not as crowded as the others. The game has already started we wanted to grab some cheaper food (than the stadium has) and drinks before heading in. We got the pulled pork which was a large portion as it also came with two sides. We got Vegas bombs which our bartender (a teacher during the school year) actually knew how to make and he made them strong! Just moving up here from Texas. This was the first place but I felt actually gave you good service. read more

BBQ Beef Brisket. That is all. Also the service was top tier. Now I'm just typing in filler words.

CnF is the place to eat and take in all kinds of nostalgia if you find yourself in the Fenway Park area. It's been a neighborhood gem for decades, and continues to draw baseball fans and tourists alike at an almost ridiculous rate. It's got an old, Irish pub vibe that has a huge beer/drink menu to go with the wide variety of offerings on the menu from your typical pub/ballpark fare to more fresh and seasonal offering (like the lettuce tacos, which I ordered). The servers and staff always bustle around with a smile on their face and keep the meal and flow going to ensure you get where you need to be on time and aren't waiting on a drink or meal. I've been to CnF multiple times during RedSox games and while taking visitors to see the park when games aren't there. The experience is consistent, the food is good, and prices are (relatively, for Boston) reasonable. If you are making your way to Fenway for a game or just to see the park you can't go wrong with CnF. You'll find it's going to be a good, consistent, and pleasant experience to go with whatever you have going on that day (or night). I stop in any opportunity I can to continue to support a neighborhood staple in the Fenway area. read more

I frequent this place. Walked in, 6 ppl at the bar, 4 tables, sat at the bar. Waited about 10mins, zero service, not even a menu, but the workers had no problem standing literally right behind me having a conversation. So much so I actually turned around because it was as if they were in my ear. Went to the bathroom, came back. Sat at new spot, got service. Ordered my food, came out wrong and I immediately went and threw it up in the bathroom. I took one single bite. More time goes by to the point where I just ask for the check and left. No manager, no nothing. They took off my wrap that I took a bite of a puked up. Still paid for the beer. Now I get to be sick for a couple days. Won't be going back. read more
