goober Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I am not aware of anything in Hartford. Maybe closer to New Haven? Oddly, Vinny’s Roast Beef in Wallingford had Beef on Weck that I remember being pretty good but not a place you could watch the game. As far as sports it was mainly UCONN/ Pats(Brady)/Sox …. all else irrelevant and unworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I didn't know about Tavern House. It's certainly worth a try. It's probably 40 minutes from Meriden. I didn't know Anna Liffey's was still there, or that it still had the Bills games on. Small, but the times I was there the fans were ardent. I used to go to Chicago Sam's in Cromwell - not a Bills bar, but plenty of TVs and a fun place to watch games. I don't know what their crowd will be like on Thursday. A lot of Giants and Pats fans in the area, so some will naturally be rooting against the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffMuff Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I heard Shea's in Manchester is Bills bar, from a Steelers friend. Havent been there yet. I g ot a new big TV on the deck for early games, a good home recipe for some wings, hard to leave it.

OneBeforeIDie Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hey dude, I'm from Buffalo but I live in Milford CT. Anna Liffeys in New Haven closed. But we made an awesome Bills Backers group of Southern CT. We meet at a place called My Bar in Milford CT at 12 Broad Street, Milford CT 06460. Check out our Facebook page. We get a ton of turnout https://m.facebook.com/groups/319791058228928/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCBongo Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 There is a group of Bill's fans (Southern Connecticut Bills Backers) that go to My Bar in Milford Ct. You can find the group on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Wow. More CT representation than I thought here. I didn’t know about Tavern House Grill in Tolland, and it’s like 20 minutes away. Alas, the FB says it went belly-up in 2019. Shea’s in Manchester is now the sanctioned bar, last I’m seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Bottom line is that Connecticut is not thick with Bills fans. It's the heart of Giants and Patriots country, with some Jets fans thrown in. The cost of living is pretty high here, so most people leaving WNY for a better job don't find CT to be an affordable destination. Still, wear your Bills stuff and you get a "Go Bills!" from time to time. We were in Newport a couple of weeks ago and met Bills fans from Newington. A few years ago I met James Lofton's cousin, a big Bills fan who lives in Meriden. I've never been to Shea's. They advertised on TV a lot a couple of years ago, because they have a big patio, so they could support a lot of outdoor dining in good weather during the pandemic. I definitely will drop by to see what the action is like, and may even catch a game there. The problem is, I've been spoiled by the Harp. An hour and a half drive to be in a big place packed with Bills fans is worth it compared to a 15 minute drive to a place where half the patrons are Pats and Giants fans. But maybe I'm wrong - if we can fill Shea's for Bills game, I'd be a regular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Does anyone know how many Bills fans show up at Shea's for games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I was only there for the playoff game against the Texans a few years back. It was packed! Agree about The Harp. I lived in Boston for a few years and that place is great! Used to make my friend drive from Ellington to meet me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm going to Shea's on Thursday night. I hope other fans will show up there, too.

It’d be so nice to finally meet up with fellow TBDers, but I also got a new big teevee a few weeks ago and have been anticipating christening it with this TNF opener. Is there like an expectation of ordering steady drinks / food there (at that, I don’t do alcohol, so it’d be ginger ales / water for me)?

I have a big tvtoo, but I'd like to see how big the Bills crowd is. Thursday is a good teat. If it's alive, I will come back. No idea how food and drinks work. I'm planning on supper and a Coke.
