If you are wondering where would be a good place to tap into and experience the rich sports culture, and the fervent atmosphere that comes with it in the Boston area, look no further than the Draft Bar and Grille. Located just a few minutes away from historic Fenway Park at 34 Harvard ave. in Allston. The Draft offers a great atmosphere for relaxing with friends, and is one of the best locations to view sporting events in the area. In addition to the Drafts traditional and inviting interior, their outdoor patio grants access to a heightened experience on days with nice weather. 

The main sporting event every week at the Draft are the football games; to be more specific, Patriots games. During the football season their deals start with $.35 wings on Sunday and Monday along with their domestic brews starting at $3 and craft beers reaching a very affordable $5.25. Even their regular menu includes a range of modestly priced appetizers starting at $6, burgers, sandwiches, and entrees that don't exceed $12. The deals don't stop there; everyday of the week there are ways to save at the Draft. Weekly Specials include Tuesday's $6.99 beer and a burger, Wednesday's $2 taco night, among others. Coupled with these specials, weekly events such as beer pong tournaments on Tuesday's and Wednesday trivia night give further incentive to visit.

The Draft offers a very authentic local atmosphere that Allston is known for with plenty of opportunities to spend next to nothing on a fun night out.
