The venue is filled with sports memorabilia and jerseys, creating an environment that many patrons describe as a \u201chome away from home\u201d for the local fan base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph\">Breuer, the manager and owner of Connecticut Yankee, grew up in New England before moving to the West Coast. He said owning a Boston-themed establishment was a goal he had since his youth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph\">\u201cIn my senior yearbook was to own a Boston bar.

Like, this has been my home,\u201d he said. \u201cJust, it\u2019s one of the best feelings to be able to walk in here. It\u2019s fun here. We\u2019re like family here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph\">The bar will host events throughout the week, including a viewing party for the big game on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston25news.com\/news\/local\/have-new-device-get-our-free-boston-25-news-weather-apps\/PDC6X7UKOFDBVPV5YJHG3CX36I\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE Boston 25 News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph\">Follow Boston 25 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Boston25News\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boston25\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston25news.com\/video\/live-stream\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Watch Boston 25 News NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 fcApnw body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Connecticut Yankee bar in San Francisco, an unassuming blue building in the heart of the city, has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[35773,78364,10980,78368,78358,78360,78362,78359,78363,100,78367,17322,78361,101,103,102,78357,78365,104,106,105,78366,5050],"class_list":["post-161403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-35773","tag-bay_area","tag-boston","tag-boston_25","tag-connecticut_yankee","tag-gillette","tag-jonathan_breyer","tag-lombardi","tag-new_england","tag-news","tag-nicole_gabe","tag-patriots","tag-pats","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-san_francisco","tag-seahawk","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-super_bowl","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
