If you can't go to the stadium, where is your favorite place to watch the game?

We have a tavern down in Florida, McCalls, that is only for Bill's games on Sundays.  It's wild, loud, and crazy with loads of crazy Bill's fans.

Living in Tennessee, I don't think there's anywhere I can go. Before the Titans, they showed Bills games here frequently. I told some people here I'd drive the crane with a wrecking ball for free tearing down their stadium if the Titans left. That didn't go over so well

Home is always best.  Menu is always just right and never a wait to pee.  Other than that, Hurley's Bar, on W Broad St., Richmond VA.  The whole rear of the building, along with the rear patio, weather permitting, is BILLS fans.  Even serve; wings, beef on wek and Labatts Blue.

1 (tie): Home. Watching by myself

1 (tie): Home. Watching with a very few close friends/Bills fans who want to WATCH THE GAME and keep the discussion limited and focused on the game.

 

If I can't get that, then any decent bar when I can get a piece of turf to keep my drink. Once in a while I don't mind hanging with a bunch of rabid Bills fans, but there are typically too many distractions for my taste. Like blasting terrible music during time outs and such.

San Diego Billsbackers bar is jam packed with Bills fans at PB Local in Pacific Beach. It is a Blast Highly recommended if ever here during football season you will feel right at home.

99% of the time it's my place.  If family comes up, great.  They understand.  But it's pretty tense, and there's lots of pacing during commercials.  It hasn't been good for the last 15 years, so I apologize to the people on the other side of the bay for the cursing.

 

The other 1% of the time would be Spook Hill Tavern in Adams, NY, when Fox screws the pooch like with the Detroit game last year.  Nearest sports bar to me.  Great turkey and gravy dinner, to be honest.

The Harp with the Boston Bills Backers is great. Couple hundred Bills fans pack the place. But between food, drink and parking you're in for at least $50. Otherwise my man cave is best. 

 

When I hit the bar to watch, I average 40-50 bucks, too (no parking, though).  Well worth it.  99% of the time, I'm joined by my close friend who is a Pats fan.

Home.  If the game isn't on TV in Albany then I go to OTB's Clubhouse Race Book.  There I get my own booth with a TV where I can listen to the sound instead of being at some sports bar where you can't hear what the announcers are saying.  

I still like going to games although I'm down to about 1 a season in Orchard Park and a road game.  This year I get to go to the 1st 2 games of the season because Met Life is the closest stadium to Albany.

Home if it's nationally televised.  If not, Recovery Sports Grill.

 

 

 

I know the people that own that place.. Only got to go a handful of times before I moved to the South 8 years ago... but always liked it. Loved the Matt DeLorenzo race car hanging from the ceiling (At least at the one I went to)

It's tough. I live in New England, and my only friend with Season Ticket is a Giants fan. There is one mediocre sports bar in town, and I will only go if the Pats are not playing at the same time. Since they are on prime time seemingly every week, it actually works out a lot. Otherwise, it's Reddit to the rescue.

The Harp is in downtown right next to TD Garden. Parking is at a premium. Sometimes I'll take the Orange Line T Train in instead of trying to find a space close by. Part of the reason why I only get there once a year. It's a pain.

It is a great place.  We go to the one in Queensbury.  My son and I actually went there for lunch yesterday.  I've also been to the one in East Greenbush a bunch of times.  Great food and service; nice beer selection, too.

Coolest place I ever went was a bills backer bar in Nashville. We watched the Bills make the playoffs to break the streak. Favorite memory other than my daughter being born. I can find the name of it If you're close
