Best place to watch away games in MHK?

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

I will be in Manhattan to visit family on the day of the UCLA game.  Which bar has the best game-day atmosphere for watching away games?  Rustys?  And how is Bobby Ts on game day?  (It'll be the closest.)

TIA.

Tubby's is one of the best, because of all the flat screens in there. Also if you get a seat on the upperdeck part each table has it's own Television.

I recommend So-Long Saloon.  They have good food and although the TV screens aren't huge, the food is good and the atmosphere is great.  I recommend the black bean raspberry chipotle dip, the resist temptation, onion rings, and a Boulevard Wheat beer.

Regardless of where you watch the game, enjoy what will hopefully be a Wildcat victory!

Willie's bar and grill.

I'm a fan of Tubby's. Very nice atmosphere.

[doom]

Aren't you like 14? 

And Tubby's is good.  Kites can also be good.  Rusty's is a definite no.  I know it's been awhile since you've been in Manhattan and all but sheesh.

Let me tell you a surprising choice.

Buffalo Wild Wings aka BWW this is a great little mom and pop that is synonomous with downtown Manhattan/Aggieville area.  The Buffalo family is historic to the grassland/prayere region of Nortern-East Kansas where they were the first Buffalo soldiers (Kind of like Larry Johnson, a bison-bred minotaur if you will) to fight for our countries freedom against the violent roving packs of native hyper-allergenic dandelions and muskrats (two fronts).  Pretty awesome right?  Right.  Well anywho, they went in to business with a little known guy named Rusty Varney's.  Bing, bang, boom a little family feud, a few capos get whacked, Johnny Sax has the cancer in the big house and they open a little place where bros can meat to talk 1( MMA 2) NFL 3( college football and 4) Operation Iraqi Freedom *leave no man behind over Wings doused in ranch, doused in 500 liter Bud Light or $599 super-premium domestics (ROLLING ROCK STRAIGHT FROM LATROBE IN THE ORIGINAL GREEEN BOTTLES!)

Atmosphere?  Yeah, it has got some freaking atmosphere bro.  And if you want a free drink, just play up the "DD" angle and head over to the fountain drinks.  These'll be on the house tonight bro.  Drink your fill.

Willies.  Close thread.


Tubbys = 

Rustys = 

[royalswild]

w/e you do, do not go to rusty's, they had some violations

[Bookcat]

Bobby T's.

[Rick Daris]

tubbys or bww if you want to go to the ville. willies if you don't. bobby t's if you want to hang out w/ townies and people who taught you in highschool. i'm guessing the fam lives over in candlewood. how long has it been since you've been back?

[steve dave]

Love So Long but would never watch a game there.  Their TV situation is not good.  Hope to never set foot in Rusty's the rest of my life and, luckily, it sucks to watch a game there anyway.  The new side of Kites has a really good TV set up.  BWW always has a good TV set up (it's the "go to" if we are out of town as it is a proven product), Tubbys is good.  Don't like Willies.    lots of options bro.

If you go to BWW make sure there isn't some MMA or UFC or WWE fight going on. Riley rats will def. want half of the tv's on that station.

Bobby T's is just fine for watching a game.  Good tv situation.  And since you'll be in that area don't forget Early Edition for sunday morning breakfast.

They understand their TV setup very well.  It's also a very safe choice when you are in unfamiliar surroundings.  I want to yell at every "sports bar" owner in Omaha for their set ups.

KITES is a good atmoshphere.

Willies=

I may be an alumna now, but I'm not old enough to go to Willies.

[mcmwcat]

what are the bars that actually provide HD on their plasmas, lcds and projectors?

i'm pretty sure kite's does.  coco bolos does. 

i'm pretty sure tubby's does not.

[KSUTOMMY]

I am still living the fantasy that they will play it on the jumbotron at BSFS and let us watch it from the stands, no beer - but oh well, that is was tailgating is for.

[hutchcat]

Bobby T's is great. If it's an early enough game you can catch some Early Edition. I lived 4 blocks from there, love that place. In the Ville I like Kites, great atmosphere and good tv situation.

This was almost a decent suggestion until The Chef came in.  Then it is a ridic selection unless you have a family and go to church a lot or your daughter works there (all weirdly wholesome h.s. waitresses).

Otherwise go to The Chef because the food is good and you might order a mamosa or a beer with yer eggs or your chicken pot pie or your Belt Burger with monterrey jack.

[Pike]

There really isn't that great of an "away game atmosphere" imo. I think it's because we've sucked for 6 years. But I would recommend Kites and Tubby's. Pat's isn't too bad either - lots of flat screens.

Go in and ask for "The Ben"

[phicat1448]

watching games at bars is very overrated imo. would rather watch at home where i can see and hear, and not have a waitress bothering me every five minutes wanting me to buy expensive beer.

[SkinnyBenny]

Or maybe all you fruits could just EMAW up and go to the damn game already.
