ca_gere Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Edit: I just called them... They are open and will show the Aberdeen game. There's a celtic supporters club thing upstairs but they'll show it downstairs at the bar. I'm gonna pop along. I'm gonna be watching the prem games later anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 That's some service. To be clear if anyone asks for Barcelona tips I won't be phoning anybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Tbh I wanted to know myself. I was thinking of watching it somewhere and because there's no early prem games the chances of my usual haunts being open are low. Coincidentally, that's the same place I watched the final game of the season 2 years ago and I haven't been back since or even thought about the place until now. Spooky shit.

Skacel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Anyone ever been to Webster Hall? What's it like as a venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've been a few times. I know nothing about such things but I was always impressed with the sound. It's a nice size too. Large enough to feel like a spectacle but not too big. It's in a studenty area though so the bars nearby are all shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Cheers, think I'm going to head over for the American Football gig(s) in October. Any excuse for a few days in NYC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's good for beers near Marina underground? Please and thank you. This thread is only making my desire to go to New York stronger. A pub open from 7am that shows Aberdeen games? Swoon!

Paranoid Android Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Marina isn't actually an area I'f ever really go to. The only place I can think of is Ovella Negra which is a massive beer hall type place. It's not bad, the beer is pretty cheep and it has loads of pool and fussball tables. You might have to put up with large groups of annoying erasmus students though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I spent a whole afternoon here eating myself stupid: http://www.smorgasburg.com/ Especially the 'smores and buffalo wings. That's something I really miss about the US. Amazing buffalo wings and good, decent cheap coffee. Mind you, I miss that about Berlin as well. Then drank myself stupid whilst playing videogames at Barcade. This place is also good for ice-cream - http://biggayicecream.com/ - the Salty Pimp is brilliant.

ca_gere Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Dons games are tricky. Particularly early games. There's a Celtic bar that shows Scottish Football but if there's a Celtic game on at the same time you're outta luck. That said I wouldn't be surprised if they'd put the game on at least one TV if you asked. They're guaranteed to be open at that time anyway. Jack Demsey's on 33rd st between 5th and 6th ave. This happened, minus the Dons game. We were stuck watching the Celtic game on a dodgy stream off a guy's laptop surrounded by sectarian decor. Not ideal but was nice to share an 8am pint of piss-weak lager with a fellow ab-music member. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Agreed, good fun apart from the US tattie munchers getting excited about Commons' "assist" or whatever. On the plus side, we didn't have to see THAT Aberdeen game.

givemeasmile Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Alligator lounge - a bar that gives you a free pizza with every drink Erm...WHAT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Erm...WHAT?? Oh aye. It's pretty amazing. There are a few of these bars actually. There's a guy in the back just pumping out 9 inch pizzas with minimal toppings and you get a token with every drink, hand it to him and receive pizza. They're proper stone baked pizzas too. It's fantastic when you're skint but still want to get drunk without forfeiting eating. It's a decent business model if you think about it - i've eaten max 3 pizzas in a night but i've stayed for way more drinks so even if the profit margin on an individual pizza is low, people will tend to stay there longer and drink more than they'll eat.

Paranoid Android Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I really want to go to this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improved Thinker Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I really want to go to this place. So do I, all my life. If he could hook me up by sponsoring a visa for me then I would never come back and wouldn't need to post here anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
