Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill; A great place to watch a game!

Update: Unfortunately, both the Fall River and Boston location of Jerry Remy’s have closed! Fall River is still worthy of a visit for the historical significance alone. If you find yourself visiting this historic, do check out the Lizzie Borden house and Battleship Cove! I have toured both and definitely recommend checking them out if you are all interested in history.
Today, Mike and I visited Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar and Grill. Jerry Remy’s is known as being “Home to the Screen Monster” and features several very large television screens, which makes it a popular bar for watching sporting events. There are 2 other locations: one at Fenway Park (very popular during baseball season) and one inside Logan International Airport. The Fall River restaurant is located on the waterfront at Commonwealth Landing.
Even though the food was just average, you are coming here mainly for the sports atmosphere. There are plenty of gigantic big screen TVs for watching Celtics, Red Sox, and New England Patriots games. The Fall River location features a huge 17′ screen, 2 14′ screens, and a variety of additional flat screens located throughout the restaurant. This bar/restaurant has some of the biggest screens I have ever seen and enough TVs so that everyone can watch no matter where they sit.
There are 20 beers on tap, plenty of wines and cocktail choices, and a Make your own Bloody Mary Bar on the weekends. Also offered on a weekends is a special brunch menu. We opted for the lunch menu. We started with the spinach, artichoke and red pepper dip which was served in a bread bowl with blue corn tortilla chips on the side; this was pretty good.
I ordered the Warm Fall Harvest salad which was good, but not great. The salad included a combination of zucchini, squash, carrots, and other assorted vegetables but the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste. Mike though his Turkey Burger was decent, but not the best.
I would visit Jerry Remy’s Fall River again but probably only during a game. You really come to a place like this more for the game time atmosphere than for the actual food. Next time we will come for a few drinks and appetizers during game time! You are better of visiting during a game and taking advantage of those gigantic screens! Update: Jerry Remy’s became one of our to-go spots to watch a game or enjoy some comfort food. We love the outdoor patio and often take out of town guests here to enjoy the beautiful waterfront setting.
More fun for sports buffs
See the Red Sox play at iconic Fenway Park – If you are not a big baseball fan, seeing a game at such a historic field is a pretty cool experience. Plus, the fans are just so passionate about their team that the entire ambiance is just really special. Also, if you are a fan of the movie Fever Pitch with Jimmy Fallon, you may also want to plan a visit. Did you know that the movie filmed during the 2004 World Series? It’s a great movie if you haven’t’ seen it yet!
Watch a Celtics game – Even though we had a last row seat, Mike and I had a blast watching the game. While we are Chicago Bulls fans, it is always fun to cheer on your new city’s team as your second team.
See the Patriots play at Gillette Stadium – While I am from Chicago, I have always been a huge Tom Brady fan. I had a blast running into Gillette Stadium for a popular 5k called Finish at the 50.
