This is a great place to go before/after Patriots games! If you aren't tailgating (you should be tailgating) this is a good alternative to spending $8 per drink somewhere in Patriot Place. It makes its way right to the "dive bar" line, but does not cross it, giving it a local feel without feeling like you're in a shady place. If the Patriots play at 1, this is a great place to go to catch the games at 4. Same goes for if the Pats play at 4, this is a good place to go for the night game. There's also a hotel attached to the bar in case you plan on having a little too much fun to drive home. Fusion 5 is definitely a place for the real NFL fans on Sundays.
Review Source:Every bar near Gillette Stadium should have a hotel strapped to it.
I park behind here for every Pats game and to play how many two dollar drafts can I drink, the best part is you always win.
The place is huge, though you wouldn't know if from the outside. As far as live band bars go, its unshadey and clean.
Stealth Club: Really nice club in a wholly unremarkable building. Looks like a nondescript Rt. 1 motel from the outside, but they've done an amazing job at rigging up the space inside. All black with great lighting and a killer sound system. Wide array of beers at the bar and regular live bands. Huge dance floor - no cover the night I was there. Prices were really reasonable - Skip Patriot Place and check this out.
Review Source:I am a fan of the burgers here! Chef Christine does a nice job of cooking a variety of burgers, complete with fries of your choice. All good bar food and I am pleased to say the burger was actually really hot when it arrived - that never happens. The fusion burger had a nice sweetness to it with the bourbon sauce and the fajita burger had a nice combination of peppers onions cheese and beef. Loved the cilantro dipping sauce on the poppers too.
The band was a little loud when we walked in but they took a break and dinner was enjoyable. This is a great place for lunch, pre or post game munchies or to eat and rock out, play pool and not have to leave. Check it out and say hi to Christine the chef - she loves feedback!
Whoa. This is a strange place. I would not have gone here, except my friend has friends who go here- so I came along as well. Pulling up, I was floored. It's in the ground level of a motel. Seriously?! How f'ing strange. DJ DC was "spinning" the night we went, also, there was some cover band playing.
I was confused as to how a place like this could even ask to charge a cover, oh, but they did! $5/person to walk in the door. Obscene. And seemingly unnessesary with the money they must make with hourly rates at the motel.
When we walked through the door all heads whipped around- we moved slowly to the bar, following our guides, trying to not upset the natives. The sign on the door reminds you not to wear colors. Amazing, and also very funny considering all but one of the bouncers and most of the dudes hanging out by the pool tables looked like most of the dudes I've met in the Arian brotherhood. Â
The music the band was playing was passable, I think out of a few hours of music I liked two songs they played. The fog machine was totally rediculous. Get rid of it guys. Who are you trying to be Cher?
The DJ was also bad. The only way we found bits and pieces that we liked was when we had really started to drink.
The one thing I like about this place: they have Newcastle. Unusual move for a dump like this. But totally cool by me. Â
I think they have a VIP section- large tv, lazy-boys in a raised section by the door. Who is allowed up there, and or, why you would want to be a VIP here.
Some friends from work were coming here on a Friday night, and twisted my arm to go. I showed up a little after 10 pm expecting there to be a line because they were having a band play. But, not only was I able to find a parking spot right away, I was also able to go right inside.
There was a $5 charge at the door, which was worth it. The band was decent. They played some 3 Doors Down, Nickleback, Bon Jovi, old school Metallica, and some other really great songs. You can check them out at <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.BadAndyRocks.com&s=9fb4174e51f9dcde6edf1bd5d501fb9bcd9bdffb1efb568318bab6479c7a2216" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.BadAndyRocks.…</a>
The prices for drinks were on par with other local spots, so no complaints there. The waitstaff was friendly. At one point a bartender and two waitresses were dancing on the bar, which made for some, shall we say, interesting entertainment.
The decor was typical of a sports bar... flat-panel TVs everywhere, and 2 pool tables. The ladies room was small. Only 2 stalls... kinda silly if you ask me. I can only imagine how ridiculous that could be when they are super packed.
The highlight of my evening was being asked to dance by a guy who was old enough to be my father. *sigh* Thankfully after he asked, he saw the ring on my finger and walked away.
I'll come back here to see Bad Andy play again. Hopefully I won't have to open the next morning because I am hurting right now.
