You're Starving After the Game? Feeding Frenzy Around the Boston Garden
So you just cheered yourself hoarse at the Garden, your team (hopefully) emerged victorious, and now your stomach is rumbling louder than the Celtics fans after a bad call. Fear not, famished friend, for the vicinity of the Boston Garden is a smorgasbord of delicious options to quell your post-game cravings.
But First, a Word of Warning
The area around the Garden can get busy, especially after a big game. Be prepared to fight for a table (metaphorically, of course) or embrace the shared table experience and make some new besties over burgers.
Now, Let's Get Eating!
Here's a rundown of some of the best places to grab a bite, depending on your appetite and adventurousness:
The Classics: Burgers, Brews, and Cheers-ing
- Tavern in the Square: A Boston staple, this spot offers up classic American fare, draft beers, and TVs to relive all the game's glory (or drown your sorrows, no judgement). Bonus points for the patio seating, perfect for people-watching.
A Touch of Class (Without Breaking the Bank)
- Filippo Ristorante & Bar: If you're feeling fancy (or famished for some good marinara), Filippo's is your answer. This Italian joint serves up red-sauce classics in a classy setting, with prices that won't leave you needing a loan.
For the Adventurous Foodie

Pro-Tip: Hub Hall is a food hall right next to the Garden, offering a variety of options under one roof. Perfect if you can't decide between pizza, ramen, or a roast beef sandwich (because why not have all three?).
