Somewhere to watch England v. Russia in Boston 6/11/16?

May 21, 2016 3:52 AM

I'm meeting a friend in Boston on June 11th and we'd very much like to watch the England v. Russia Euro football (soccer) in a pub. We'd be looking for ideally the closest experience to watching it in a pub in England, i.e. a place dedicated to watching just this match with a partisan crowd shouting for England, or as close to that as possible. Anyone got any suggestions for venues? Thanks!

The Phoenix Landing in Cambridge is exactly what you are looking for. Get there early to make sure you get in and get a seat.

If you get turned away from the Phoenix Landing (it sometimes got full during the last World Cup), try the Field, just a couple of minutes' walk away. Both of these places are Irish pubs; of the two, the Phoenix Landing might have more England supporters. On the other hand, the Field is a much brighter, pleasanter space.
