SAN FRANCISCO —
The San Francisco area is home, of course, to the 49ers. But this year, the city is hosting the nation for Super Bowl 60. There is one particular place where friends of a feather can drink a beer together.
On Potrero Hill in San Francisco, you’ll find the Connecticut Yankee, where Patriots Nation is gathering.
“We are here at the Super Bowl, baby,” said Bill Morris, a Massachusetts native who is visiting from his current home in Washington, D.C. “We’re ready to go.”
With a long history in the city going back to 1907, the bar welcomes New England fans from around the country and around the world.
“I watched the very first live broadcast of a Super Bowl in the UK,” said Alan Mason, originally from England but now living in Stratham, Connecticut. “So, the following year I came to New England and been following ever since.”
Fans can gather for the game, grab a beer, and if they’re missing the taste of home, there’s a lobster roll on the menu. Morris said he’s happy to spend time with fans from back home.
“A lot of, ‘Go Pats.’ A lot of Drake Maye,” he said. “A lot of rolling your Rs with your boys back on the block.”
Their doors will open at 11 a.m. on Super Bowl Sunday, and they don’t take reservations. So seating is first-come, first-served.
