Connecticut Yankee, San Francisco's most Boston bar, is the real deal — with one big difference.
— in San Francisco, of all places — drowned out the patrons. First, a banjo blared. Then came the accordion. The powerful thuds from the drums arrived.It’s safe to say the Celtics fans at Connecticut Yankee, a Boston sports bar nestled in the San Francisco neighborhood of Potrero Hill, collectively lost their s—t at “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.
A Celtics banner of retired player numbers, including local University of San Francisco great Bill Russell, #6, hangs in the main room of The Connecticut Yankee along with an array of New England sports and collegiate memorabilia. The bar is a haven for Boston fans to watch big games like the current 2022 NBA Finals series against the Golden State Warriors.
Hence lies the unexpected predicament at hand: Nobody at Connecticut Yankee really thought this specific scenario, Dubs vs. C’s for all the marbles, would unfold in San Francisco. And it’s a stretch to say the series has ripped open a real rivalry.
