I don’t know how your Sundays during football season go, but mine typically revolve around football, food, and booze. Well, definitely more than just Sundays, but I digress…if you’re not feeling your regular football viewing place one weekend and want to mix it up in a big way, do it with the help of Uber and their new ride sharing program, “uberPOOL”.
uberPOOL allows you to share your ride and split the cost of your trip with another Uber rider headed in the same direction. The average time added to an uberPOOL trip is less than 5 minutes and each uberPOOL rider can bring one additional passenger along. And the best part? Take $5 off your first uberPOOL ride with code “PATSPOOL”!
Here’s a 5-stop bar crawl on steroids to get you and a friend locked and loaded for game day all around town:
First Stop:
Tavern in the Square, 730 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge
First up, a stop in Central Square to formally launch the best day of the week. Start off with a cocktail and brunch, and if you’re lucky, you may even catch good ol’ Will Hunting giving some guy a free history lesson.
Second Stop:
Cask ‘n Flagon, 62 Brookline Avenue, Boston
Projected uberPOOL cost: $3.13
We’re heading into the Fenway area for our next stop; so if the Cask is jammed, just walk down the street to Beer Works or Bleacher Bar. Envision Brady hitting Gronk for 6 over the seam, and then looking out and seeing Fenway Park. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Third Stop:
McGreevy’s, 911 Boylston Street, Boston
Projected uberPOOL cost: $2.67
Next up, “America’s First Sports Bar”, McGreevy’s in the Back Bay. Anyone remember Mike Napoli parading the streets shirtless after the ’13 World Series win? Nap spent most of his day pre-gaming at this legendary sports bar.
Fourth Stop:
Stats Bar and Grille, 77 Dorchester St, Boston
Projected uberPOOL cost: $3.86
“We’re onto Southie”. Located in the heart of South Boston, this is a solid spot to watch games, armed with 22 flat screens and plenty of brews to polish off while celebrating the Pats’ W. At this point, you’re probably feeling pretty good, so grab some grub and rally for the late game…
Final Stop:
Jerry Remy’s, 250 Northern Ave, Boston
Projected uberPOOL cost: $2.21
Last stop, Jerry Remy’s at the Seaport, one of the best areas in town. Named after Sox Legend and broadcaster, Jerry Remy, this is a great spot right on the water to wind down your night, and catch Sunday Night Football.
Total uberPOOL Cost: $11.87
Immerse yourself in the city of Boston, experience five very different, but similarly dynamic bars, catch a Patriots win (and ahem…a buzz), and not have to worry about driving or parking downtown for a transportation cost of ?…..
Where do I sign?
Go Pats!
