Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grill in Boston
|by Jean De Ieso
On a cold Saturday night in mid-February in Boston, what better place to stop and rest than Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill and what could be better way to look ahead to the forthcoming baseball season than a Remy’s Red Ale brewed by Ipswich Brewery in Ipswich, Mass. The light ale was surprisingly refreshing, with a slightly bitter bite that went down nice and easy like the bottom of the Baltimore Orioles batting order.
The baseball atmosphere in the pub almost made it feel like spring, with friendly and helpful staff and memorabilia everywhere. Ramsey, our friendly bartender, gave us a bit of info about how the pub was doing, and when we could expect a an appearance from the place’s namesake, the former Red Sox second baseman and NESN color commentator, Jerry Remy.
All indicators pointed to a friendly successful place to stop, enjoy a beer, and of course cheer on the hometown crew. With Big Papi signing for another year at more than $14 million as the 2012 DH, I hope he stops in to Remy’s and announces “a round of Remy Ale for everyone.” I also hope, I’ll be there when it happens.
Play Ball!
“went down nice and easy like the bottom of the Baltimore Orioles batting order” . . . now that’s what I call writing. Makes me want to hop the next plane to Boston!
Jean, we will have to meet up there sometime soon…sounds like a great place! Besides, any chance to have an Ipswich beer is a plus in my book!
Happy V-day!
Jean,
Great Article. Sounds like you had a great time!
Good thing we don’t have to wait for the snow to thaw. Lets start baseball now!

Lovely atmosphere! I’ll have to get back to Massachusetts!
Jean, you have such a gift for words – your article makes me want to delight my palate with Remy’s Red Ale as well as take in a Red Sox game this coming season. Now that sounds like for a fun “Girls’ Day Out”!
