beerme1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I was going to suggest Alli Gators in FT Myers FL. I've been there a couple times for games on vacation and it is a Bills Backers of SWFL watching spot. They've closed and are re opening under the name of Racks and Tails with a super hot wait staff so they say. They now advertise as a Steelers Fan Zone. Although the Bills backers of SWFL still shows Alli Gators as a place to join them on game days. I will tell you it is rather horrific entertainment watching some of the retirees from here down there on game day. Scary. Oxygen tanks and all but they do get into it and have raffles and stuff and have fun and not everybody is old and juiced up on oxygen. I'm glad I can join them when there because it makes it home field. I wonder if they show up on game day and end up in a fight with Steeler fans Headline: angry Bills fan with a walker roughs up Steelers fan with a cane. It used to be their house! Well after they realize there will be a season I'm sure the SWFL Bills Backer club will find a new home. Hopefully before week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 San Jose Bills Backers 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. No Buffalo food but the food there is excellent. The theme is a British Sports Pub and they serve tavern fare… awesome burgers, outstanding fish frys, some British foods like Shephard's Pie and also Bangers (a type of sausage) and mashed potatoes. A very nice selection of beer is served in frosted mugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I visit a few years ago, there was one across the street from the Fleet Center...don't recall the name....right downtown. Personally, I'm partial to the Bleacher Bar.

The games start at 10 am and we have a few guys who aren't even from Buffalo who tailgate in the parking lot of the bar and drink cheap beer for a couple hours before it opens. Did they have the BILLS - BEARS game on? Will the BILLS - Denver game be on .. everything LIVE ?? P.S. We need blue pants on the road ... they're IN the 2011 official uniform guide !!!!

bklnpete Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
