I personally am looking for Bills friendly bars in the Cocoa Beach area of Florida if anyone has any insight as my family has a vacation home in the area and il be spending the holidays down there.....

 

Malibu's Sports Bar

165 Barton Blvd.

Rockledge, Fl

 

This is one of my favorite spots. Two blocks west off US-1 in Rockledge. Easy drive from Cocoa Beach.

This Bills spot is always a great time and a prime place for Bills fans to gather for games.

While it is not exclusively a "Bills Bar" Rivals in Williamsport PA. does have an active amount of Bills fans that come in on game day. They "reserve" a tv for us (the same for years) and anywhere from 4 to 10 Bills fans can be found there. The food is good and they pass out crying towels to us. :bag:

I think they have one in a Holiday Inn there or one of the hotels right on Cocoa Beach. I used to live in Melbourne and I learned they had one there but never went.

Check the websites and you may find one.

While McFadden's is the "official" NYC Bills Backers bar here on Sundays they do not hold the monopoly on Buffalo Fan support in the Big Apple. Thanks to the mass exodus of Buffalonians to New York City in the past ten years, you can walk in just about any establishment with NFL Sunday Ticket and you'll find a group, some big some small, of ex-pats cheering on the only REAL New York team.

 

After Jimmy's Bait Shack (92nd St and 3rd) put the kibosh on Bills games I was left wandering until next season I found Bonnies Grill in Park Slope. Bonnies is great for the food (REAL Buffalo Wings, Beef on Weck etc...as well as some of the best burgers in the borough) and laid backed-ness of Brooklyn but you have to get there early to score a good seat in order to view the smallish TV's (since upgraded to larger screens.)

 

So, three seasons back (four maybe?)I'm walking up 5th Ave from Bonnies to the Subway after a game and I see groups of Bills-clad guys and gals passing me. I thought this strange as the game was over and they were headed toward Bonnies. Turns out there we're two other bars on the same block devoting screens to groups of Buffalo fans. I found the same thing in Williamsburg and Greenpoint last season.

Basically, NYC is teeming with Bills fans.

Is Gilroy where the Garlic festival is? My daughter goes to CSUMB and I have driven thru Gilroy a few times. Should I hit the festival ? It sounds like fun!

Missed your post, sorry. Fest is the last full weekend in July so next year if you're out here and like things with lots of garlic, it is a good time. Can get crowded Friday is the best day for smaller crowds (referred to as "locals day").

I used to hang out with the SJ Backers at High 5 Pizza and then the Alamaden Ale House. Ale House was great they had excellent wings and we kind of owned the place on Sundays. Now in Gilroy I have the ticket and stay home.

 

Does kevin nawotka still go there to Britannia Arms? He was such a crackup, little round guy from Lackawana or Cheektowaga who has a PhD in Microbiology. Lot of characters in that group.

He sure does. Maybe not for every game, since he doesn't live in SJ anymore, but Kevin, AKA "Wacka", comes to a good amount of games.

 

I'm looking for places around Sac or SF basically Norcal since I'm central, little help?

 

Missed this, thanks

 

Britannia Arms

1087 South De Anza Blvd

San Jose, CA 95129

 

Technically this place is located in Cupertino. It's not a large place, but it's a good fit for our small group. They have been good to us over the past 10 plus years showing the Bills games. You won't find any Buffalo food there, but you will find Bills fans.

Feel free to come by this season. We're always looking for more fans.

 

I haven't gone the last few years but I know Mark said that Kevin still goes there.

 

My wife and I will try to make it there more often this year. I'll just DVR the game and watch it again when I get home.

 

I told Mark I'd try to help round up some more for our group and I've messaged with a few people who want to join up.

 

Hope you can make it out to the Brit at least a few times this year.

That's great SJ. Are you going to be there this weekend?

BOSTON, MA

 

Bills Backers of Fenway

The Bleacher Bar

Inside the center field wall of Fenway Park with a large garage door that opens up to the field when the weather is nice. Proprietors go out of their way to order Western NY specialties for us: labatt, bison dip, beef on weck, occasionally genny screamers, garbage plates. They play Shout! probably too often, but if you're like me, the song never gets old and actually gets better with every beer. Be sure to sign up to get on the email list if you're a local. Also hosted a Bills draft party and all Sabres playoff games.

 

Bills Backers of Boston

The Harp

Across Causeway St. from TD Garden. Larger, more space. Decent wings.

 

 

Personally, I'm partial to the Bleacher Bar. Crowd has been a bit rowdier and the ownership treats us like they really want us there.

 

THe harp is the place to be . The only official Bill;s backers in Boston that has been doing it for 20 years. No way it is rowdier. Better beer specials, Beef on weck, MIGHTY TACO! and started the shout song in Boston.

 

Keep it real go to the harp

On a similar tip, had to duck in a big-name clothes place today by my job on 19th st. in NYC and was joyously surprised to see a huge display of Bills gear (we're talking hundreds of items).

 

Just e-mailed to see if it's still showing games, but as of last year, they were showing the games in Hoboken at Northern Soul -- really nice vibe, good group and cool bartenders. Good alternative to McFadden's overcrowds (although calico jack's overflow is usually a great mix of passion and not-getting-jostledness -- although sitting at the bar with 3 dollar drinks, the second half is often a bit blurry for me).
