buffalowing Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I need some help from you fellow Sabres Fans in DC. Are there any bars that show the sabres games with sound. I'm willing to go anywhere in DC/Northern Virginia area. Thanks. :thumbsup:
GrimFandango Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 http://www.jimmystavern.com/ i used to go there pre-center ice
Allan in MD Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 There was a place on King Street in Old Town Alexandria called the Penalty Box that showed the games. I'm not sure it's still around. It was/is owned by Bugsy Watson, the old NHL penalty king. You could actually sit in a penalty box.

Good pizza, considering it's northern Virginia.
cgang Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 Greeve's in (I think) Vienna is also a good bar to see sabres games (it's also a great bar for Bills games). It's just off Route 29 exit of 495, a couple of exits from Tysons Corner. It's usually packed with Buffalo fans. I hear Jimmy's is good too-- it's just a little too far for me (I'm in Lorton). By the way, if anyone is in a jam to try to watch a game in Baltimore, Fletchers is great. My brother and a bunch of his friends were down for the Bills/Ravens game and we were really in dire circumstances to watch the Sabres game (ESPN Zone was our original plan but they were not showing the game and it was outrageously expensive anyway-- college bowl games were playing). So we crawled the internet for some Sabres bars, stumbled on a vague reference to some guy who owned a Baltimore bar from Buffalo and just got the NHL pack on direct tv, and discovered Fletchers. The wings are great and they have a big screen tv in the back. The owner was there that night and kept feeding us free shots when the sabres scored. My memory is a little hazy toward the end there, but I think the Sabres scored 4 or 5 goals.
Orange Seats Posted March 24, 2007 Report Posted March 24, 2007 McFaddens - home of the DC Bills Backers (they have an old standing buffalo helmet and they have respectable wings). 2401 Pennsylvania Avenue at 24 Street NW Washington, DC 20037 Phone: 202.223.2338 They have Center Ice, but you might want to call ahead to make sure. http://www.mcfaddensdc.com/homepage.php

Not sure that I agree that the wings are respectable, but McFadden's is a Roch-based-chain that ought to play the Sabres games for you; they always did for me. If not, try Stetson's at 16th & U; they always had Center Ice and always would accomodate Sabres fans when they could.
All Along The Watchtower Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 That place is called Bugsy's now, and still owned by him. Good pizza, considering it's northern Virginia. Use to be some WNY bartenders there, but this was many years ago...still the best hockey bar in N. Va. though, and one of the only bars in the area with Blue on tap. :thumbsup:

Hey, I'm in Lorton, too!
Luigi Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 I'll give a shout for Fletcher's Bar in Baltimore. A great place for Sabres fans. They usually have the audio on and free shots after every Sabres goal. Saturday night they didn't even have basketball on-just Sabres and NCAA hockey. They even have the Sabres on their website: http://www.fletchersbar.com/

I used to be a staple @ Grevey's in the early 90's for Bills games. www.greveys.com
TomInAlexandria Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 One of the waitresses at Bugsy's sports a sabres jersey during games and I hear one of the bartenders is from the Buffalo area. I took my wife and two 12-year old boys for the Sabres-Devils game we lost a couple weeks back and had a fine time except for the loss. I've also like Jimmy's Old Towner in Herndon, but a little too far for me to drive home to Alexandria after a game given I learned to drink in Buffalo.
Eleven Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Hey, I'm in Lorton, too! Hope you're both paroled soon.
BuffalOhio Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Hope you're both paroled soon. The prison's gone, smarty pants. :nana: Now it's $500K - $900K homes.
Allan in MD Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 The prison's gone, smarty pants. :nana: Now it's $500K - $900K homes. And wondorous traffic jams getting into DC.
