22 Best Sports Bars near Springfield

“Hidden right off the highway, O’Briens Corner Pub is the kind of classic Massachusetts spot that doesn’t need a gimmick to prove it’s the real deal. Walking in feels like dropping anchor in a neighborhood living room where the floorboards have stories and nobody’s trying too hard.
The room’s got a solid, no-nonsense aesthetic—heavy cop and firefighter vibes that give it an honest, salt-of-the-earth weight. It’s comforting in that lived-in, civic-duty sort of way. And the staff matches the energy completely. The waitresses are genuinely lovely, but Ashley deserves her own shoutout for being so effortlessly warm and on top of it that you feel like a regular by your second sip.
Speaking of sips, Yuengling on draft for $3.50 a pint feels like an error in the matrix—the kind of pricing you thought went extinct in the nineties. Pair that with the lunch specials, which sit right around $15 and are actually filling, and you’ve got yourself a proper midday anchor.
Just keep one crucial detail in mind: they only do lunch. Don’t roll up looking for dinner or you’ll be staring at a locked door and a grumbling stomach. They take cards or cash, the highway access couldn’t be easier, and if you catch Ashley working, you’re in the best hands in the house.“

“Great place, great people, amazing food, amazing service! The manager here does a great job at running the place and the staff is friendly, professional and courteous. Very clean and maintained, plus the food is always fresh and well presented. Their prices are more than reasonable! All around 10 out of 10!! Also can't go without mentioning that they have some of the best DJs around and their security is tight so don't bring the drama cause you will not be welcomed back! Thanks McCarthys for your great service ❤❤“

“Very good food and Great Music“

“Had a great experience at Applebee’s! Our server, Lia Melendez, was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her service was excellent, and she definitely deserves recognition for her hard work. Great job, Lia! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Pleasantly surprised by the amazing meal. Go ahead and let's just put this place on the map for the meatloaf. Its incredible, paired perfectly with mashed potatoes and that amazing gravy. Then they finish you off with an out of this world bread pudding, warm then topped with some ice cream, caramel pecans, be ready for a nap or a walk after. Thank you for the great meal.“

“I’ve been here a few times. They’re open late. Their hot honey/ pepperoni pizza is really good. The price is great too. They haven’t increased the prices and lowered the quality of their food like a lot of other places. Great food/great cost!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, fast and friendly“

“View Street hosted the St Joan of Arc 8th Grade graduation and it was wonderful! Food was great! We were able to set up early and the kids even got to create a playlist so they could listen to some music. Super thankful for them hosting us. Thank you again.“

“We had our wedding reception at Shortstop's banquet room this past weekend. The food was incredible and Monica and her staff were the best. I had many guests come to me complimenting the food, staff and owner/chef Monica. It was a day I'll remember even more so thanks to this great venue. I highly recommend Shortstop for any special event.“

“Great experience with Liz! Very detail oriented and one step ahead the entire time. Nothing better than not having to ask for a refill as Liz brought more water or soda before we even had to ask. Very knowledgeable of the menu and also gave us a heads up about spiciness or texture. Also had a great vibe! Will definitely be back! Thank you!“

“I feel it’s important to share Three Figs is under new management and has made quite a turnaround. I waited until I experienced several successful visits before writing this review so I could be certain in my recommendation. I’ve now dined in a small group, a larger group, in the dining room, in the bar and as part of a civic group banquet in the back room. Each time, I have been pleased and satisfied. The food has been delicious (both regular menu and specials) and the service prompt & exceptional. I find the atmosphere warm & welcoming, reminding me of Cheers (the neighborhood place where everybody knows your name). Our dinner this past week was a positive experience in specific ways. We didn’t have a reservation and the parking lot was packed. Yet our wait was surprisingly short, and enjoyable at the bar with friendly service. Once in the dining room, our server was kind, helpful and happy…and very accommodating when a substitution was requested on an order at our table. The manager even helped serve our plates and made sure we were all enjoying our experience. Noting that the staff worked well together and were all happy…it implies that working there must be positive for them as well. The restaurant itself was also very clean and comfortable. In the past, I could not have shared these same words and had nearly given up on this local, convenient spot. So it pleases me very much to see the new management has turned it around. Having a great spot so close by is appreciated. Congrats Three Figs…your efforts are worth it!“

“Stopped in yesterday evening for some food. Had the chicken tenders and fries. We sat at the bar and watched the barmaids working hard. The bartenders were very friendly and cute as well. The food was delicious. Can't wait to go back. The place was busy ,But there was plenty of seats available. I highly recommend this place for food or entertainment.“

“I want to thank my server Trinity for excellent service. I hope she is recognized for this.“

“Food is always great 👍 Picked up an order today for me and my daughter Friendly Staff The girl who was at the take out area today (Bella) was very polite and nice to talk to Takeout with a smile 😁“
