The duck boats are ready—are you? The Boston Red Sox are back home after winning the World Series in Los Angeles. This is the fourth championship for the Sox in 15 seasons, and as is tradition, Mayor Marty Walsh is planning a homecoming blowout. The Red Sox victory parade kicks off at 11 a.m. at Fenway Park, then travels down Lansdowne, Ipswich, Boylston, and Tremont streets through the Back Bay, then finally to Cambridge Street in downtown Boston where it ends near Government Center. Of course, bars and restaurants along that route (and beyond) are getting ready to party, too, so lace up your limited-edition New Balances, crank the “Red Sox Nonstop Remix,” and check out these World Series Victory Parade specials and places to watch.

The Fenway

Eventide Fenway

This place opens early at 10 a.m. to start celebrations strong with an $8 Championship breakfast sandwich: It’s a sesame seed bun loaded with house-made knackwurst, a togarashi-fried egg, tallow mayo, and American cheese. Eventide also has $3 Narragansett tallboys on all day, too—the beer paired with the breakfast sammy is a $10 deal.

Bleacher Bar

Instead of the window that offers a view onto Fenway Park’s center field, direct your attention instead out the front door to Lansdowne Street to watch the parade begin. This unique sports bar opens at 11 a.m., and Red Sox sponsor Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey will be in the house with sample cocktails and giveaways.

Hojoko

Halloween is this funky Fenway bar’s favorite day of the year, but this one is extra special. The closest bar to where the parade route turns from Ipswich onto Boylston, Hojoko will open early at 2 p.m. for post-parade partying before the annual Hojokoween party starts at 8 p.m.
