There Are No Red Sox Bars in San Francisco
58The Connecticut Yankee is not even close to being a Red Sox bar.
What a load of horseshit. Heaping, steaming, and smelling exactly like one dicknose Yankee fan on a cell phone, his loud-mouthed wife, and a staff that thinks a group of cheering people during a World Series makes a bar a Red Sox bar (oh sweetie, cheering during a World Series game doesn't even make your bar a sports bar--it makes your bar a bar).
And the worst part? I wasn't even cheering. It was my loud clapping that upset so many people. Which I don't understand. Please, if you understand this--being told you're clapping too loud when you're clapping for the team whose font adorns the bar's awning--write in and explain it to me.
S, in summary do not go to the Connecticut Yankee, a supposed Red Sox bar on 17th and Connecticut, San Francisco, California, if you want to:
1. Root for your baseball team
2. Swear (as the place is lousy with kids)
3. Get sound with your sports picture.
4. Be free of obnoxious Yankee fans.

I totally agree with you! I used to take my Red Sox Group there to watch games but half the time we couldn't get the staff to turn the sound on. Also it's a lousy place to go with a big group because the staff is too slow to keep up with drink and food requests; it takes FOREVER to get service at the tables. More times than not my food order arrived wrong or cold, or not at all. It is not a venue that helps or encourages its patrons to have a good time. It's a cool place to go to check out the memorabilia, but then head someplace else to watch the game (with sound) and have a meal and drinks.
