DROPKICK MURPHYS Re-open McGreevy’s 3rd Base Saloon
88 YEARS AFTER PROHIBITION CLOSED ITS DOORS, NUF CED MCGREEVY’S
3RD BASE SALOON REOPENS IN BOSTON ATÂÂ 911ÂÂ BOYLSTON ST.
Considered by many as the “Birthplace of Red Sox Nation” and “America’s 1st Sports-Bar and Baseball Museum”, McGreevy’s 3rd Base Saloon is finally back after its disappearance from the Boston scene in 1920.ÂÂ Back then its founder “Nuf Ced” McGreevy led his group of rabid Red Sox fans “the Royal Rooters” in song as they led their Red Sox to victory with the fight song “Tessie”.
In 2004 “a modern day McGreevy” emerged in Ken Casey the founder of the Boston band the Dropkick Murphys.ÂÂ A die-hard Sox fan, Casey and the Murphy’s revived McGreevy’s spirit with a modern version of “Tessie” that helped the Sox win their first World Championship in 86 years. And then of course after not being involved in 05 and 06 Casey’s good friend Jonathan Paplebon brought the band and their song “Shippin Up to Boston” to Fenway and another World Series title followed in 07.
Now in 2008, Casey and the Murphys have resurrected “McGreevy’s 3rd Base Saloon” in the heart of the city of Boston.ÂÂ The result is an unmatched Irish Pub and sports bar experience where any member of Red Sox Nation can take a step back in time to see where it all began and rub elbows with current Sox stars like Papelbon himself. Featuring an exact replica of McGreevy’s original barroom it features actual photographs and baseball treasures that hung on the walls of the original watering hole.ÂÂ Blending Boston’s baseball history from the past and present you can see ancient artifacts like the Sox 1st Fenway World Series Trophy from 1912. The lighting fixtures that hang from the ceiling are even made from game used bats ofÂÂ past and present Red Sox stars.
McGreevy’s is the place to be for great food and drink and the ultimate place to see any sporting event.ÂÂ McGreevy’s even features Nuf Ced’s own geat-grand neice pouring pints from behind the bar as she follows in the footsteps of the Red Sox Nation founder.
McGreevy’s original 3rd Base Saloon was known for decades as the place to be for Red Sox players and fans, and with the revival of the historic bar in 2008 that tradition continues where it left off in 1920.
Come join us for a special one day sneak peak on Marathon Monday (the race goes right by us) after which we will close for a few weeks to finish renovations followed by a May GRAND opening!
