Hey all. I'm Jason, I own the Immigrant Tap Room in Manhattan in the East Village (9th Street and 1st Avenue).
It's a small little beer bar that I added next door to my wine bar. I've been thinking of opening up and showing Bills games on Sundays this year and wanted to gauge interest. My bar is a very relaxed atmosphere, and it isn't the place for hooting and hollering. If people are interested in a relaxing atmosphere to watch the game, I'd definitely do it. I'm watching the games anyways with the bar closed ha...
I have some real nice TV's and surround sound for the games.
I could offer some Hofmann's or Zweigle's hotdogs to serve, and a texas hot sauce. Although I don't have a large enough kitchen to do Beef on weck or Buffalo Wings - I can pre-order wings from a place down the street if needed. And I could order some local beer options ... Southern Tier or Labatt's or Empire or whatever people can recommend.
I'm originally from New York State (grew up in Cortland, went to SUNY Oswego), and I usually attend 1 game a year in Buffalo with a group of college buddies. I was going to Brother Jimmy's back in the day, and then McFaddens, and then Kellys. But I haven't really been going regulary because it's tough to get a spot these days... so I've been watching the games in my bar with some friends. I'm looking to open it up to everyone this year.
Anyone think this is a good idea?
