BRBAPALOOZA: Calling An Audible

by Tim on Aug 10, 2010 8:59 AM CDT in News

Remember back when we tentatively said we'd be doing Saturday night's watch party at 360 Sports Lounge? Sadly, 360 will likely not have opened its doors by then (though they are adamant about having BRB back once they are up and running), so we need to find another venue.

If anyone has a suitable bar for us to meet up at on Saturday, August 14th at 7 p.m. CST to watch your Houston Texans scrap, exhibition-style, with the Cardinals of Arizona, let us know in the Comments below. Someplace with drink or food specials would be preferable, but we fully understand short notice may make that a problem.

If necessary, we'll just pick a joint we're familiar with (Nick's Place, Wet Spot, Christian's Tailgate, and/or Lucky's immediately jump to mind) and go with it. If you've got a preference, suggestion, or hook-up, please comment away.

Hmmmm

Lucky’s is cool. That’s where I hung out for World Cup this year. Centrally located too. Lots of waitresses with large breast.

Christians would be good too, but parking can be a bitch.

Nicks place has great food, so it would work. A little small maybe, but I don’t how many people will actually show up or how busy they are on a Saturday night.

I don’t think I have ever actually been to wet spot….but that might be a good thing.

I don’t care…I would probably vote Lucky’s, but as long as the beer is cold and the ~~company is good~~…beer is cold, I’m happy.

I'm still not even sure I can make it...

So I’d have no real suggestion on a new place other than just a BW3. But if it is downtown, no way I can make it.

Christians? No way...

Parking at Tailgate is a bitch on Saturday.

Lucky’s is okay… I hadn’t been there in a while, but it’s a great setup for watching sports.

My friend just opened a bar called “Washington Grill” which is right down the street from where 360 is supposed to be opening…

I’d be cool with WetSpot too, as I used to spend all my Sundays watching games there.

Re: Washington Grill

Is your buddy’s place suitable for watching games? And if so, do they have any specials on Saturday night?

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I'll ask...

I do know

There is a LOT of parking at the place (especially compared to other places on Washington). They just opened a month ago and there is a big patio area…

beer selection should be a factor as well

…but not that big a deal. I can always just drink whiskey.

Based on DHC's post last week...

Can we find a place with decent parking lot security?

Between your experience last week and Papabear’s track record, we might as well all leave the windows rolled down so that at least they won’t have to break them to steal shit from inside.
