Waltham Sports Pub

  It's a good place to go for some cheap drinks... They have a $2 draft which changes, but lately it has been rolling rock.  We had just moved into a nearby apartment when the bruins were in the playoffs and our cable was not set up yet so we went here for most of the games. There was a friendly local crowd who was very much into the games; I also went for Monday night football this week & they had the game on. Like the other reviewer said they only have a forman grill so food options are limited, to burgers, grilled cheeses, deli sandwiches & soups.  The bartenders are great, very friendly; when we were in often for the bruins games she recognized us from on our second visit on. Would be 4 stars, but what bar, especially one with "Sports Pub" in it's name is closed on Sundays??

  Don't go to this bar to meet people.  Don't go to this bar for a wide selection of craft beers.  Don't even go to this bar to actually watch sports (they are, of all things, closed on Sunday?).  
  
  This bar is where you go if you want some cheap drinks with a bunch of friends and you're on a budget.  It's small and decidedly townie, but the bartenders are nice (one of the guys has tattoos on his forearms saying "Waltham" and "Mass") and the drinks - as other reviewers have mentioned - are cheap.  That and the jukebox and darts keep this place fun.  Sports really doesn't seem to be the focus here, but that's fine, other than the name, no one seems to think much of it.  Yeah, the Bruins or Sox are on like anywhere else and no one will stop you from watching a game.  There just won't be much cheering and I'm not even sure their t.v.s are in HD.
  
  My advice, go here with 3-5 friends, a couple bucks and take over the jukebox for the night.  Just keep in mind it's a townie bar and don't play any Kei$ha or trendy trashy pop in general or ask for some obscure gluten-free West coast craft beer or a chardonnay and you'll be fine.

  We just moved to Waltham and checked this place out last weekend. From the outside, they look like a total dive, but the inside is nice and the bartender took care of us right away. They have $2 Bud draughts, which kept us there all night. Despite being Saturday night, it wasn't crowded at all. My friends and I easily got a table and talked without having to shout over other people or obnoxiously loud music.
  
  Bonus: when I got home, I discovered that my Commuter Rail pass had fallen out of my pocket. I called the WSP, and the bartender had found it after we left. I rushed back and she handed it to me as soon as she saw me, despite the fact that she was busy closing up.

  Whoa now!!  WSP is legit, I def. would advise you to check it out at least once.  There is not much of a scene there so bring your own crew.  It is a no frills bar that has $1 drafts if I remember correctly, AND had Busch/Busch light on draft which is HUGE in my book, a must have!
  
  Food is minimal, they have a George Foreman grill so they are limited to burgers and such, they are nothing special but good once you've swilled down too many $1 beers.  A decent place to jam out if you bring the party with you and want to get mangled on the cheap!  Beware of townies.....
