Derrico Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Only two weeks away!!! Anyone have any ideas for pregame drinks? Post game drinks? Quote
darksabre Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Oh god, that's right. We have a game to go to. Quote
WildCard Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Oh god, that's right. We have a game to go to. :lol: Only two weeks away!!! Anyone have any ideas for pregame drinks? Post game drinks? I still wanna meet beforehand. Much better than meeting at the rink Quote
Derrico Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Yep, I'm down. I didn't attend the pregame meetup last year. Was there enough that a reservation should be made? I'm boring and usually hit up Pearl Street or 716 but I would prefer more a 'local' type spot if anyone has any suggestions. Really down for whatever though. Quote
Taro T Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Yep, I'm down. I didn't attend the pregame meetup last year. Was there enough that a reservation should be made? I'm boring and usually hit up Pearl Street or 716 but I would prefer more a 'local' type spot if anyone has any suggestions. Really down for whatever though. Gabriel's Gate worked well last time. Somebody reserved the back room. I tend to hit Union Pub (formerly Pat McGinty's & then The Irish Times) across from Pilot Field (Dunn Tire Park, Mighty Taco Palace, or whatever the f### the baseball stadium is called) before games & though this year it's been pretty dead in there. (Which is disappointing - good bar food, reasonable prices, & good servers.) Doubt we'd need reservations there, though I could make 'em if somebody wanted to go there rather than the Gate. I'm good with either. Quote
WildCard Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 I made the reservations last time about a week or two in advance. Let's try and get a place and a time consensus this weekend, and I can call Monday to wherever we want and make another reservation, if we need one Quote
Eleven Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 We could look into the party room at 716, too. Also, we have to consider which places will be open early enough. Quote
ubkev Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Just let me know what time so I can plan my drive accordingly. Quote
WildCard Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 We could look into the party room at 716, too. Also, we have to consider which places will be open early enough. Feel like that would be unfairly expensive Quote
Derrico Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Wherever is good for me. I'm staying at Adam's Mark (cheaped out) both Friday and Sat night so I'll be in town and ready. Been cutting back on sugar/wheat/carbs but I'll be drinking some beers come game day. Quote
LTS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 One option that is away from the higher cost around the arena... and near the Gate is Fat Bobs. https://www.fatbobs.com/ Not sure how big a group they could accommodate. Quote
LTS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Also.. Cole's is even further away but does have a really good upstairs room... I believe they still have it. Quote

Plus Fat Bob's is delicious and a pretty sweet place. It also checks the box of being close to the Allen/Medical metro stop - same walk as Gabriel's Gate. IIRC we landed on Gabriel's Gate since it was a) close to the Metro stop for those that wanted to park n ride and b) to show MODO what true wings were like. i don't think the wings are as necessary this time around. Quote
darksabre Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 I ate enough wings at the last meet-up to last me through at least the next two :lol: Quote
ubkev Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 I ate enough wings at the last meet-up to last me through at least the next two :lol: That table was definitely dominating some wings. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Guys, let's get our sh*t together and make this happen, I'm sick of the work ethic of the sabres on the planning, man up or you'll be shipped out at the trade deadline. Quote
LTS Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 Pick the place.. I need to look back where everyone is sitting and decide which ticket I need to buy for the game.... I should also check and see if any rooms are available at a nearby Marriott. Let me know if you want me to inquire about the room at Cole's.. if you want to check on Fat Bobs go for it.... otherwise... pick it. THe beer selections, for me, at Gabriels Gate was a little less than spectacular.. but hey.. I'm good.. I just need to have my hotel room to crash in. Quote

Just a heads up I found my room at Adams mark on Expedia for like $100 for the night. Not as nice as the others but since it's only a place to crash I figured it was a good deal. Quote

Not as nice as the others but since it's only a place to crash I figured it was a good deal. I might resort to that. I have a ton of points to get a free night at Marriott so that’s why I have the preference. I’ll keep Adams mark in mind.. nothing wrong with that. Quote

Given the way the team is playing, the beer selection might be pretty important for the pre/post game. Given this is a 1pm game, how early are we planning on meeting up? I had assumed the post game would be more of the activities, but it did help seeing what faces were in our group pre-game, as many of us didn't know the whole group the first time around. Quote

Not sure how early people want to meet up. I will be driving in that morning. I'm probably more inclined to worry about after the game more than before the game. Who's grabbing control of this? :) (not it) Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 So the knights game is kids day?! Oh boyyyy Quote
Samson's Flow Posted February 26, 2018 Report Posted February 26, 2018 So the knights game is kids day?! Oh boyyyy Nothing says "Kid's Day" like the Vegas team in town... ...and a bunch of strangers from the internet heavily imbibed. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 I'm too lazy to look back through the thread. When is the game again? I might actually be back in town for it. Not that I'd go to the game, but I'll happily meet up at a bar before and after. Quote
