Postby HOS2 » Wed Jan 23, 2008 12:11 pm

Anyone no of one?

I know Finley Dunnes Tavern is a big Dayton joint.

Thanks in advance.

Historically, we've gone to O'Callaghan's on Hubbard Street, as it's owned by a XU alum, but Mother Hubbard's (next store) is actually a better sports bar.

There's another bar in Wrigleyville that we've started going to recently as well-Merkle's.

Hate to say it, but I don't know if the Chicago alumni assoc. set up a group viewing for tomorrow night's game.

I've got a 6PM meeting that I might blow off to catch the UD game. If I do, you're more than welcome to join me somewhere to watch it. As it's a 7PM game, I'd probably head home and then out to watch the game somewhere on the North Side, either at Merkle's, Hi-Tops (across from Wrigley) or possibly Gamekeepers (Lincoln Park).

Merkle's in Wriggleyville is the preferred destination especially with the younger and young-at-heart alums. Merkle's knows some Xavier fans are coming in and they said they get CSTV. The game is also showing up on my Comcast CSTV (Chan 418 in Naperville).

Ok that wasn't bad although there probably were more Xavier fans at Finely Dunnes. The blonde waitress with healthy lungs is nice as well as the white blond at the bar with the equally impressive "eyes".

Wish I could have stayed for the second half (long drive + beer = bad mix) but got WLW loud and clear all the way out to the burbs.
