Great Place for a Party. I booked my husband's 30th birthday at Game On and our party was in the lower-level bar. He's a big baseball fan and we were able to watch the Red Sox game on a whole bunch of tv's and had ample seating and tables for all our guests. Best of all, we had access to the visitor's batting cage at Fenway Park and it just made for a fun and unique experience for everyone!

The waitstaff went out of their way to offer me assistance throughout the night and were friendly and accommodating without being pushy. In addition, the management made it very easy to book the party and kept consistent communication with me throughout the whole planning process.

Though the food was typical bar food that was not special or amazing in any specific way, there was plenty of it and the service was great. Plus, the bar downstairs was huge and the chef and waitstaff were great in helping me with the birthday cake, taking pictures for me, and allowing me to set up the room hours before the party.

In short, I would definitely recommend Game On for any type of party for sports fans and feel that it was a really memorable event for my husband and our guests!

Terrible service on busy days. Look, I get it that this is a great place to be if you are young and strong and can deal with standing in line. I'm disabled -- I use two canes, and every other restaurant I go to will bring me a chair when there's a line and I need to wait, but with these idiots I have to beg for a chair every time, and each time it's like reinventing the wheel, they can't figure out where they keep the extra chairs (by the door nearest the entrance to Fenway) or where to put a chair so it doesn't trip the wait people. Disabled people in wheelchairs will do better because they have somewhere to sit while they wait, but disabled people who aren't in wheelchairs should avoid Game On when things are busy.

It makes it worse that when there are only one or two people, the wait is MUCH longer because almost all their tables are for four to six people.

If I am going to a game, I wish I could go to Game On, but it's just not worth the bother, so these days I hobble farther to a restaurant that has a few chairs for people who are waiting and lots of tables for two (easy enough to shove two or three of them together for groups -- why can't Game On do this?).

Great time for Pats game. Myself and 10 friends went to Game On today to watch the Pats beat the Bills. We had a blast you need to check out the downstairs, we sat upstairs first then realized they had a downstairs WOW they have a ton of TV's and big screens. We could not have had a better time. Then the Pats got knocked out of the playoffs. Now we have to wait till next season to watch football at Game On. We will definitely be here to watch the Red Sox play you can not get a better seat unless you are inside of Fenway Park. Overall it was great. Almost forget the Buffalo Wings are the best in Boston you must try them.

the place to be during the red sox season!. a few of my friends and I went to Game On! for the first time before the sox/yanks game this past weekend. I heard how crazy it gets in there before the games so i assumed it would take forever for our server to greet us but i was wrong! she was extremely nice & got us very pumped up for the game (not to mention we got pretty buzzed before hand too!!) the music played by the dj was awesome, although at times i couldnt hear what my friend was saying across the table and the food was better than i expected from a sports bar. all in all Game On! is definitely the place to be before the game. if i didn't have to make a train back home after the game i would have gone back to Game On! for round 2!!
