March Madness And Free Burgers At This MA Bar: MA Cheap Eats

MASSACHUSETTS — March Madness is officially underway, and one Boston bar is celebrating by giving out free burgers and plenty of food deals for those hoping to catch the game.

Scores – formerly The Four’s Restaurant & Sports Bar – is set to hand out free smashburgers for the first 100 guests through the door each day from Friday through Sunday this week.

The deals started on Selection Sunday and last through the NCAA championship game, with Scores hosting three weeks of specials including dollar baskets of Old Bay chips, a half-dozen wings for $2, beers under $5 and more.

Scores, 166 Canal St., will open early at 11 a.m. during weekends throughout the tournament.

The bar and restaurant features a bilevel 6,300-square-foot space with 50 speakers and 33 big-screen TVs as large as 98 inches.

Scores isn't the only spot to catch the games this year, as Massachusetts has a stellar sampling of sports bars, school-centric watch party spots and low-key restaurants to catch the game.

Skybokx 109 in Natick will also open early this week, noon on Friday, for the tournament games. Its March "Munch Madness" deal includes a pizza, six wings and fried pickles for $25.

For those among us who like to shout "Roll Tide!" on Saturdays, Dillon's in Boston is the hub for Alabama. Other spots that hosted team-specific watch parties for the 2024 tournament include Hurricane's at the Garden in Boston, The Warehouse Bar and Grill and West End Johnnie's.

For those who want an in-person taste of the action, nearby Providence, Rhode Island will host first and second-round games this weekend with big names and programs including Kansas, St. John's, Arkansas and more.

Parlor Sports will be open for the games and is again running a bracket challenge for those who got in in time.

Really, if your favorite local haunt has a TV, they'll probably be showing the games. Grab a drink, fill out your brackets and call in sick. Welcome back to the best time of the year, sports fans.
