SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Bills fans, I just moved to NYC with my fiance. It was great to see the Bills beat the Jets from my living room couch, but my girl isn't much of a sports fan and I seem to remember people talking up a well known Bills Backers bar in the city. I'd love to take in games with fellow fans. Anybody who frequents this bar or who could at least tell me its name? Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 McFadden's, dude. You'll have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) McFadden's, dude. You'll have a blast. I was going to say, I have never been there, but McFadden's has come up before in conversation.. I've also seen videos on YouTube and it looks like a great place..

4merper4mer Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Ennifer is a shape shifter who lives in NYC. Just sayin. Careful dude. And it is McFadden's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie's in Brooklyn on Fifth Ave (park slope). I used to watch it there because it's close by, but now i watch games at home on the ticket .... Bonnie's is cool.

plenzmd1 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think based on past post this Bills place will suit you better than McFaddens http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/05/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-moti-mahal-delux-in-manhattan.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 McFaddens is a great place I was one of the originals there in 02 and Brother Jimmys before that. The only caveat and reason I stopped going there is it gets way too crowded. You need to make a reservation to get a table. Even with a reservation you have to get there early I believe.....Definitely check it out though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan since '64 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I was at McFadden's a couple of years ago to see Bills vs. Giants (when the Bills were playing great, the week after we beat the Eagles because they jumped offside on 4th and short late in the game). It was wild, and the crowd was so big that the bar next door (I forget the name) served as an overflow Bills backers bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to go along with others, McFaddens is one of the best non-Ralph atmospheres I've ever gone to. Every TV has the Bills game and the sound on. On top of that, there's a special where you pay $30 for any beer you want and unlimited wings (legit) for the entire Bills game. I love that place.

widerightradio Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I prefer Kelly's. http://www.kellysnyc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Nice Sage. Where in NYC? Right now, a (surprisingly nice) sublet in Harlem. As of January 1, we'll be in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I prefer Kelly's. http://www.kellysnyc.com/ Thanks for the alternate opinion! I'll check both out this season.

BuffaloBill Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I caught the now famous Arizona and Bills game that marked the backslide for Trentative and the Bills. It was a great atmosphere. Be ready to get rowdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

widerightradio Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Having a sports bar in East Village is weird. Eh. If you like huge tables, massive bars and lots of space then Kelly's is not your thing. But the communal vibe when folks are hanging out the windows and everyone's got a bucket of tall boys at their feet is a beautiful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the whole idea of a sports bar being in the LES. Never mind calling a place north of Houston as being in the heart of SOHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
