Festivities are set to kick off on Friday morning at J.J. Foley’s Café in Boston, offering fans a lively send-off for the New England Patriots as they prepare to head to Denver for their upcoming game against the Broncos. The event will take place from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and promises an atmosphere filled with jerseys, chants, and a genuine New England spirit.
The South End pub is gearing up for an energetic two-hour celebration, during which it will appear on NBC’s “Today” show. Mike Foley, the bar’s marketing manager, expressed enthusiasm about the event, highlighting how the excitement of fans enhances the overall experience.
“It really makes it so much better when the fans are so pumped up,” Foley remarked, noting the palpable buzz and energy expected in the air. The celebration will feature appearances by New England cheerleaders, Pat the Patriot, “militia” re-enactors, and some former Patriots players. While Foley teased that other notable members of the team organization might also show up, he kept certain details under wraps, creating a sense of anticipation.
The pub, established in 1909, has been a beloved fixture in Boston for generations. Last year, it was recognized by Guinness reviewer Jason Hackett as having the best pint in the United States. Guinness has long been the bar’s top-selling beer, and during the recent game against the Houston Texans, they sold nearly double the usual amount of Guinness.
For those who may not want to start their day with a stout, the café will also provide a full menu for breakfast and non-alcoholic options, including the popular Guinness Zero, which can be personalized with fun messages.
Overall, this event will not only celebrate the upcoming game but also strengthen the sense of community among Patriots fans, creating memorable moments as they rally together in support of their team.
