Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caps game.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Let's go meet and watch. Uh, let's go watch the
Caps game in a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Where where are we going?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Germantown kind of sucks for sports bars, but probably uh,
I don't know. I like Prides And also Quincy's is
the one I was looking for.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, yep, so Quincy's to you is a sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Not really?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But like I said, there's not really a sports bar
in German Town.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
So okay, yeah, no, no, that that's fine. I get that. Well,
what is your define? What is your definition of a
sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I don't know if there's any uh, you know, lots
of TVs everywhere, so they have any game one.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So any rest or, any restaurant that has TVs is
a sports bar.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't call it a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But and sports and sir, I know you're you're clearly
not watching Channel one.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Diana is making a face at you. What face did
you just?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I mean, I mean, I'm trying to think of like
a conventional sports bar.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like, yeah, so what is the definition of a.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Glory But Glory Days is like a restaurant, but there
was a big bar component to it with all the televisions.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So is Glory Days. I'm asking you a question. Is
Glory Days a sports bar or is it just a
bar you could watch a sporting event.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I think it's the latter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's just a bar and a restaurant where you
can watch a sporting event. Yeah, okay, So I'll ask
you again, what is the definition of a sports bar?
So far, all anybody's given me is a restaurant that
has a bar where you could watch a game.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
What is the definition of a sports.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Bars dedicated to a specific sport, a specific team, Like
you know, my family's from Buffalo. They're definitely builds bars
dedicated to watching them.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So the bar has to exist to all only show
Buffalo Bill's games.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I don't think you can make a living that way,
but yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Right, So what would it be? What would it be
the other the other forty weeks of the year.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's a hard it's a hard question to answer. It
is a hard question to answer.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Like, what's a quintessential sports bar in your mind? The Oh,
you can't name.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It either, See I didn't. I didn't say I could.
Both of you guys did. Both of you were like, Oh,
it's a glory days.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Let me ask you, this is b Dubs a sports bar? No,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
If you have any sort of table seating, it's automatically
not a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
See, I would argue against that. Also.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
I thought that's why you were saying thank you for
Buffalo Wild No.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because to me, Buffalo Wild Wings isn't a sports bar.
Isn't No No, Buffalo Wild No. And you could have tables.
You can definitely have tables.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So that is that does not disqualify you. I don't
think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But you gotta have food, yeah, yeah, you gotta have
a bar, you gotta have you gotta have TVs.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
But then people in places where food is not required
with alcohol. You're saying those places can't be sports bars
unless they have a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Wait say that again.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
There are jurisdictions where you don't have to have food. Yeah,
I understand that, but they can't be sports bars.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah they can. You just said you gotta have food.
I want food. You gotta have wings. You gotta have wings.
You gotta have wings, just wings minimum minimum. Let me
ask you this, Let me ask you this.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I don't think you have to have food be a
sports bar.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I agree. You just said you need want wings. I
want wings.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
What was the name of that bar that we went
to in Buffalo, that massive one?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Didn't we see it closed years later?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right
it closed. Was that a sports bar? See?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
To me, that was almost like more of a entertainment destination.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, yes, I get why you're saying that.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
But because there were so many TVs and there were
so big but I want TV. But that felt more
like an ESPN zone, which is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, it's not. I agree, it does.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
You keep speaking with this little grin on your face
like you know something.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I don't, or you know what rules.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Clearly you want there to be because you need wings.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The I prefer there be wings. I prefer there be wings.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I was shocked that this has turned into not not
in this room, in general, massive debate.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So just having sports bar in your name doesn't make
you a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
What place has sports bar and it's name.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I'm just I just search sports bars near me, and
there's plenty of like sports and socials. In Bethesda. There's
Walter's Sports Bar. I mean that doesn't necessarily make you
a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You have crimbson your hand, I mean trying to eat
a croissant. I serve those at my sports bar. What
about memorabilia?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I think you have to start with televisions. Oh, you
definitely have to have a television.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, but you need more than one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh yeah, No, Well, I'm not going to go sit
in there and go, hey, can we turn on Old Timey.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We're all gonna sit around the Victrola and listen to
the game before you explore decor No.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No, you definitely have to have multiple TVs and a
bar and a bar.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
How many? Well, it depends on the size of the place,
does it or yes?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Can it be a cool vibe if we're all crowding
around all number of televisions?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But what I'm saying is, you can't have this room,
this room in this room and only TVs here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Gotta have TVs so I can see. I understood.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
But yeah, let's say there's one main area. You gotta
have multiple, multiple TVs. But do you need to have
a bar? Yes, Elliott, Well I'm telling you, and that'd
be one thing we all agree on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There has to be there has to be a bar. Yes, okay,
check TVs?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
We agree, yes, but can multiple I say, you want
at least two televisions? Where were you on the his
thing where it has to be dedicated to certain teams?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, I agree. I don't think you have to have
that now. No, I mean now, listen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're going to bill yourself as the Buffalo Bill's bar.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Then yes, you better have that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
But no, you don't have to be specific to an
individual team.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
No, not at all, Not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Does the TV if you have at least two TVs?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Do they have to be willing to change to a
certain game or is it okay if they just default
to like the big headline matchups both.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'm fine if it's a default.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But if somebody asks, like if there's a whole group
in the like, hey we're here and we're big.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Atlanta Falcons fans, yeah, switch it over. So you have
to be accommodating.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to be, but it would be nice
like if if if I had five thousand people in
the bar and then they everybody start doing no, like
I want the Chargers game and like nobody else wants it,
then you have to say I'm sorry, I can't change it.
Everybody's invested in these two games.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But now if I have three TVs, then you can
do that.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Does it have to be multiple sports?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was just gonna say, I'm gonna move this. Do
you keep sticking with the NFL? Yeah? No, it's your example.
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Croissants are notoriously crumby.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Le Madelin did a beautiful job.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
They're so flaky it looks like I have croissant dandruff
and it just fell all over me. No, No, I
do like I like when there's listen, you got you
got like October is the perfect month for it, right,
I got NFL here, I've got a hockey game here,
I've got a baseball game here.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I like when I have options like that.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
But if you go back to last Monday, the sport's equinox. Yes,
if you only have two televisions, you could not show
for your right league.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're right, So hockey and baseball?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Do you need no or do you need now to
have at least four TVs?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I think you need at least three. I think you
need at least three, at least three.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
But you have to have a mix of sports. Sports
on at all times.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
No, like Sunday afternoon, Sunday afternoon, but please okay, Sunday afternoon.
I would expect there to be three NFL games on right. However,
if the group of people were like, hey, could you
put the Caps game on? If they had a Sunday
a matinee day, then I would expect that would be
on two games and two NFL games in that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
On a Saturday, I would.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Expect it to be college football and a hockey game
or a basketball game either one.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
What about so in terms of the memorabilia, no, we'll
just back to just actual programming. Yes, hours, what about it?
Do hours factor? And as to whether or not you
can call yourself a sports bar, I'm not following you
the actual bars hours well yeah, I mean I don't.
It may work out that you can see local stuff,
but if you want to see international soccer early, oh yeah,
(09:56):
see West Coast.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You definitely have to be late so I can catch
a West Coast game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
They're not going to be open that late. What open
til one am? I mean, yeah, that's fine, I'm good
with that. Early is hard.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I get that soccer people are died or that that's
a big thing. I get it, m but I'm focused
on the on the Big Four and memorabilia, and well
do I need memorabilia?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, okay, I'm asking. I'm asking you think you do?
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Or is any restaurant that has a TV on with
a sporting event on a sports bar? Absolutely not, I agree,
but some people will say, yes, that guy wants me
to go to Clydes.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Clydes is a great option before and after sporting events,
but it is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So I can't sit at the bar at Clyde's and
watch watch the CAFs game. Well you can. I'm a
sports bar. Well watch a sporting event?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Or does it have to have a sports does it?
Just if Clyde's was called Footballs would.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It be then? Are you fine with it? No, it's
still a sports bar? Okay, all right? Was the Green
Turtle sports bar?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
They marketed themselves as that, but restaurant restaurant for dining
exactly exactly Line one.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Hi Elliott the morning, Hey this man? Yeah, Hi, who's
this Patrick from Richmond?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yes, sir, so there's only one legit sports bar in
the city of Richmond that I can think of. It's
Penny Lane Pub. But that's soccer. But that's a legit
sports bar, and.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
We love Penny Lane.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Penny Lane's awesome, Penny Lane was great. Penny Lane is
a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only time I was there, I didn't watch it
when we did when we did our promotion there, I
didn't watch sports.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, like I said, it's soccer.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
But if I went there on a yeah, I mean
I will, I will tell you it does have that
feel for sure, for certain.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
But you're you're about to ask him because we did
go there in the evening and there were number of
games on. Right, What what will they show at night
if it's outside of the MLS season.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh, I ain't got a clue. But if I had
the guests, they usually have some type of reruns on all.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
The time, reruns of like what's happening? No soccer game.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Old soccer, old soccer games.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Okay, now, okay, but okay, So so Penny Lane Pub
is a soccer sports bar period.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yep, that's it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
No other sports, Nope, I've never.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Seen any other sports on. Maybe tennis, but I think
it's just soccer.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay, don't say it with that tone. Don't say I
like tennis. I like tennis, thank you sir. Now I
do like Penny Lane Pub, that's for sure. And I
think I snacked on something there that was really good.
So the food's fine, beer's great.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
But now I do see here and I too agree
it was so much fun people that run it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Operation was an awesome night.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
But they also have a trivia night and they have
a karaoke night.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Like, if you have that kind of U does that
mean if there's no soccer or tennis.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
But not just pennaling pup if you're doing something like that,
does that put into question your claim to being a
sports bar? Or is it a necessary thing to keep?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
See?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But like, for example, if if if if like Coast Guard,
Kurt and Nelly and Bigsie and Dyche and I we're
gonna go to somebody said, hey, let's go watch a game,
where we're going, I'd go to Boston Social, right, it's awesome,
but they also have trivia night, but.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I've never the food. The food's also really good or
Boston Locals local?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Would you say that that is a sports bar?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It is to me, but the food's really good and
they have bands that play in there.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. Said,
but that's where I would go, That's where I would go.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
But it's just not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Then they got a lot of TVs. They got the
sound that pumps all the way through.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
What happens if there's a big game on the How
many rooms are there?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Say, again, there's one big room.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
But it's just like it's kind of like there's like
not partitions, but there's sides.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
And so the band would never affect the viewing of sport.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Correct, I mean unless they were really tall, but they
would interfere with my ability to hear the sound system.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Are there a good number of televisions? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
And what about memorabilia? No, yeah, because you don't need meribilia.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
No you don't. Yeah, bolls and locals awesome, I don't.
I don't. But it's restaurant because I would also go there.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Just to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Their food's good. Their food's really good.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I don't think this is a sports bar. How do
they on their website what they call themselves a neighborhood hangout.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That's fair. I hang out there a sports bar. Can
pigeonhole you a little bit?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, yeah, I'm just looking to hang out I'm not
looking at the sports bar.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Where am I going? Line two?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Hey, good morning class.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hey who's this Steve from pick Hey? What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
When's the last time you were to be dubs?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See? To me, not a sports bar, not a sports bar,
not a sports.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Bar, ultimate sports bar. They don't.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They have eighty jerseys everywhere, right on the wall, everything,
and they definitely market themselves around sports.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But it's to me, it's a yes, it's a you
know what, may it may be, but to me, no,
But to me, B Doves is a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
With a lot of sports.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, I'll give you that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I will give you that, that is one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But to me, it's not a sports bar. It's a
restaurant that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Shows it's the number one sports bar that you could
possibly name. Yeah, I mean, listen, I can't argue with you, right, Like,
I get why people would say that.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I totally get why people would say that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
For me, it's anchor bar, I anchor bar. Yeah. No,
but you know what, Yeah, I mean, listen, it means
my criteria. It's got a bar, it's got wings, it's
got TVs for sports, right, yeah, I'm in all right,
very good, very good, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yes Tyler from Instagram.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
We were talking about pub and trivia, knight and karaoke,
but no names. I think a good sports bar has
to have darts and pool tables.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I'm out on pool tables. I'm out on pool tables.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I mean, I don't mind if it's there.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
I don't take up room.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I don't think you have to have a pool table
to be a sports bar. It's a nice it's a
nice addition, but I don't think you have to have it.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's a big footprint it is. So what about darts?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I mean, it's fun, but I wasn't even considering me
taking part in a sport while I was there. Is
that a non negotiable for some people?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I don't know. Can you look up? Can you look
up Palermo's Tavern in Saint Louis? All right? Wow? Found
it in nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
People consider it the original sports bar, Palermos Tavern Tavern
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And what does it look like like? Image wise?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
What does it look like like if you just look
at images? I understand it looks old.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What corner. But is it? Is it a restaurant that's
showing me we're about to go inside?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
It looks so tiny. I don't know how you're setting up.
Oh oh oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
This that's a B Dubs.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
You see this little brick building. Yeah, okay, go inside, dude,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's the exterior. They never go in. I'm fast forwarding.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Sitting SIPs cocktail lounge. They never go in. They never
go in.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Where am I going? Line to? Hi Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So Elliott, Yes, sir. If David Busters is not an arcade,
then BW Three's is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Say that again.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
If David Busters is not an arcade, right, is not
a sports bar?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm just okay, I mean that's a fair argument. Is
it just I am internally like if somebody said, if
somebody said, hey, we're all going to watch the Cass game,
we're all going to be Dubbs, I feel like I
would be like, uh okay, well oh there, I'll get
diarrhea here we go. Is it just because internally I'm
(19:29):
wired that way that I don't think of it that way?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Is B Dubs really a sports bar? No?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So you don't see B Dubs as a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Okay, Well, Google AI told us two things this morning.
You don't see B.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Dubs as a sports bar, but they call it a
sports bar.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
And just like they found invisible semen, so.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's invisible sperm, sir, invisible sperm.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
The reason he didn't go inside Palermo's Tavern is because
it closed in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, something else occupies it now or did. But Palermo's
Tafford opened in thirty three closed thirty three years later.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, then try Legends in Long Beach, California.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
By the way, I'm sorry to hear about Palermo's.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It's still a nice run.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay. Legends does open today at eleven am. Okay, this
one says.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
It says the first modern sports bar in America.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Opened in nineteen seventy nine. So you want these photos?
Does that look like a sports bar? I mean the
food looks fantastic.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Food, does look good, great number of televisions.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, see, I like that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I like that it has some memorabilia, but it doesn't
look like overkilled. No, nope, nope, this looks like a
pretty cool that's a sports bar neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Hang, yeah, Jesus Christ. But the food, so I don't understand. Wait,
hold on, hold on, like.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Two, if the food, I know you said they have
to have at least.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Wings minimum like b dubs.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If chef is pumping out stuff, it looks a little
too high class.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine. Like, listen, you
can have pretzels.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You can have like Bavarian pretzels with a bunch of
different mustards. You can have like Philly Philly cheese, steak
egg rolls. Those are a hit. Mutsy sticks. What calamari
is a little hyph falutine? The Yeah, No, that's fine,
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where's that crickle legends? Legends? That's a sports the massive screen. Yeah,
I like that. I like that.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Plenty of other This place looks good. Yeah, I'm fine
with this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's your neighborhood. Hang, No, yours is Boston Local, Boston.
I like Boston Local. Hi Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Hello, Hello, I have the answer to your question. Yes,
about what makes it a sports bar. They have to
be broadcasting the game, you know, on a on an
overhead speaker, so that no matter where you are. You
can hear the main game.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Now, I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that.
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
You know you're in line to go to the bathroom.
You want to be able to hear it. And you
have multiple TVs with different games on, and that's great
and that should be there, but the main game, the.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Main Yes, No, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
You are absolutely right, which again gets me to be
dubs and they do that.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I'm be duves. Maybe a sports bar, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Look at it that way. All right, very good, No,
you're right about that. I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
I think the problem is for Buffalo Wild Wings, and
it's a it's a good problem to have, but it stop.
But it hurts in terms of this classification or attempt
to label it. A lot of kids just want to
go there for like birthday dinners. Yes, and I don't
think a sport Legends doesn't look like a place a
kid is going to for a birthday dinner. And I think,
(22:58):
honestly I agree some being a chain to me kind
of hurts it. Also, a big national chain affects.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, you know what.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
There's some validity to that and I want my sports bar. Yeah, no,
there may be some validity.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You don't want to go to your sports part in
another city?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah right, yeah, you know, I don't want to go
to Boston local in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It wouldn't even make sense.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
What about the willingness? This comes up, the willingness to
pay for PPV programming.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a good question. That's
pay per view. I am so like. Are they showing
the UFC fight? Yeah? That could. I like that.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I like that, but it's not a major No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But I like that. But now now, now, now I'm
talking cover eh yet, No, I don't. I don't. I
don't have to have it. I like it, but I
don't have to have it.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Because that for this listener was another reason b dubs
is the.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sports plot that is true? You could go watch that.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
There what other examples other than one that closed in
the sixties and.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Legends you have? Those are the two that I have
on nothing on these counts. No, that's it. Do you
have to be able to get pictures? No, but I
mean you should. Chris says, yes, you don't have to.
You don't have to. Oh what about towers? No, I
love a tower. I love a tower. Love a tower.
(24:43):
You put that, you know what that says? We are drinking.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
We're here, we're drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And it's not that much. I love a tower. It's skimmicky,
but it's fun. They're awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I'm trying to see if any city lays claim to
having like the most sports bar.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Esque oh, per capita. Actually I have the answer to that.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Saint Cloud, Minnesota, a town of seventy seventy two thousand people,
has ten times the number of sports bars as the
average municipality. Wow, Saint Cloud. Did they name any No,
they just named Saint Cloud.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
We were when we were going to Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Remember that we never made it well because of Delta.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Wasn't one of the bars we were going to right
near the ballpark? Wasn't it a very well known I
think they claimed to be yes sports bar.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yes, it's like loons or loony. No, because we wanted to.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
We know, we were definitely talking about wait, hold on one,
juicy Lucy.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, Christen won made home again. They're great. What about
buckets of beer again?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
It's it's fine fun to have, especially to gaint you
a discount.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Amen. Amen, I don't need it. They usually get.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Warm the drink faster answer man the well, no, oh,
my beer's warm. An idea, speed it up a little, Mary,
let's go. Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Line three?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Sensitivity training?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Hi, Elliot the morning?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
What about that old Champions back in the day.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh you know what, Champions was good. Champions was good.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Had tons of TVs, pool starts. Yeah, bar huge.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Champions was good. Although they did call themselves Champion kitchen.
That was a problem.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
When did they ever call them that?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I just saw over time shoulder it said kitchen. Wait
where was the place? Hold on one second, where was
the place in rich men Where where? Oh my god, Elliott,
Oh my god, Joan the moon was eating nachos in
the bathroom stalls?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That was it? Poorhouse. Yeah, that was kind of sports
Barrie to me.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Also, I know the owners were huge hockey fans, huge
hockey fans.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well they've they've courried your favor the little bit a
little bit. These are photos.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Now there is a decent sized stage for a band. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I did see what you were talking about at
Boston Local for a tall band.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah,
Caps game.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Let's go meet and watch. Uh, let's go watch the
Caps game in a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Where where are we going?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Germantown kind of sucks for sports bars, but probably uh,
I don't know. I like Prides And also Quincy's is
the one I was looking for.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, yep, so Quincy's to you is a sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Not really?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But like I said, there's not really a sports bar
in German Town.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
So okay, yeah, no, no, that that's fine. I get that. Well,
what is your define? What is your definition of a
sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I don't know if there's any uh, you know, lots
of TVs everywhere, so they have any game one.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So any rest or, any restaurant that has TVs is
a sports bar.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't call it a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But and sports and sir, I know you're you're clearly
not watching Channel one.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Diana is making a face at you. What face did
you just?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I mean, I mean, I'm trying to think of like
a conventional sports bar.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like, yeah, so what is the definition of a.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Glory But Glory Days is like a restaurant, but there
was a big bar component to it with all the televisions.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So is Glory Days. I'm asking you a question. Is
Glory Days a sports bar or is it just a
bar you could watch a sporting event.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I think it's the latter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's just a bar and a restaurant where you
can watch a sporting event. Yeah, okay, So I'll ask
you again, what is the definition of a sports bar?
So far, all anybody's given me is a restaurant that
has a bar where you could watch a game.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
What is the definition of a sports.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Bars dedicated to a specific sport, a specific team, Like
you know, my family's from Buffalo. They're definitely builds bars
dedicated to watching them.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So the bar has to exist to all only show
Buffalo Bill's games.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I don't think you can make a living that way,
but yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Right, So what would it be? What would it be
the other the other forty weeks of the year.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's a hard it's a hard question to answer. It
is a hard question to answer.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Like, what's a quintessential sports bar in your mind? The Oh,
you can't name.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It either, See I didn't. I didn't say I could.
Both of you guys did. Both of you were like, Oh,
it's a glory days.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Let me ask you, this is b Dubs a sports bar? No,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
If you have any sort of table seating, it's automatically
not a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
See, I would argue against that. Also.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
I thought that's why you were saying thank you for
Buffalo Wild No.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because to me, Buffalo Wild Wings isn't a sports bar.
Isn't No No, Buffalo Wild No. And you could have tables.
You can definitely have tables.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So that is that does not disqualify you. I don't
think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But you gotta have food, yeah, yeah, you gotta have
a bar, you gotta have you gotta have TVs.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
But then people in places where food is not required
with alcohol. You're saying those places can't be sports bars
unless they have a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Wait say that again.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
There are jurisdictions where you don't have to have food. Yeah,
I understand that, but they can't be sports bars.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah they can. You just said you gotta have food.
I want food. You gotta have wings. You gotta have wings.
You gotta have wings, just wings minimum minimum. Let me
ask you this, Let me ask you this.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I don't think you have to have food be a
sports bar.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I agree. You just said you need want wings. I
want wings.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
What was the name of that bar that we went
to in Buffalo, that massive one?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Didn't we see it closed years later?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right
it closed. Was that a sports bar? See?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
To me, that was almost like more of a entertainment destination.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, yes, I get why you're saying that.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
But because there were so many TVs and there were
so big but I want TV. But that felt more
like an ESPN zone, which is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, it's not. I agree, it does.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
You keep speaking with this little grin on your face
like you know something.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I don't, or you know what rules.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Clearly you want there to be because you need wings.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The I prefer there be wings. I prefer there be wings.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I was shocked that this has turned into not not
in this room, in general, massive debate.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So just having sports bar in your name doesn't make
you a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
What place has sports bar and it's name.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I'm just I just search sports bars near me, and
there's plenty of like sports and socials. In Bethesda. There's
Walter's Sports Bar. I mean that doesn't necessarily make you
a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You have crimbson your hand, I mean trying to eat
a croissant. I serve those at my sports bar. What
about memorabilia?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I think you have to start with televisions. Oh, you
definitely have to have a television.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, but you need more than one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh yeah, No, Well, I'm not going to go sit
in there and go, hey, can we turn on Old Timey.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We're all gonna sit around the Victrola and listen to
the game before you explore decor No.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No, you definitely have to have multiple TVs and a
bar and a bar.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
How many? Well, it depends on the size of the place,
does it or yes?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Can it be a cool vibe if we're all crowding
around all number of televisions?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But what I'm saying is, you can't have this room,
this room in this room and only TVs here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Gotta have TVs so I can see. I understood.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
But yeah, let's say there's one main area. You gotta
have multiple, multiple TVs. But do you need to have
a bar? Yes, Elliott, Well I'm telling you, and that'd
be one thing we all agree on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There has to be there has to be a bar. Yes, okay,
check TVs?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
We agree, yes, but can multiple I say, you want
at least two televisions? Where were you on the his
thing where it has to be dedicated to certain teams?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, I agree. I don't think you have to have
that now. No, I mean now, listen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're going to bill yourself as the Buffalo Bill's bar.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Then yes, you better have that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
But no, you don't have to be specific to an
individual team.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
No, not at all, Not at all.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Does the TV if you have at least two TVs?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Do they have to be willing to change to a
certain game or is it okay if they just default
to like the big headline matchups both.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'm fine if it's a default.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But if somebody asks, like if there's a whole group
in the like, hey we're here and we're big.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Atlanta Falcons fans, yeah, switch it over. So you have
to be accommodating.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to be, but it would be nice
like if if if I had five thousand people in
the bar and then they everybody start doing no, like
I want the Chargers game and like nobody else wants it,
then you have to say I'm sorry, I can't change it.
Everybody's invested in these two games.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But now if I have three TVs, then you can
do that.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Does it have to be multiple sports?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was just gonna say, I'm gonna move this. Do
you keep sticking with the NFL? Yeah? No, it's your example.
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Croissants are notoriously crumby.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Le Madelin did a beautiful job.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
They're so flaky it looks like I have croissant dandruff
and it just fell all over me. No, No, I
do like I like when there's listen, you got you
got like October is the perfect month for it, right,
I got NFL here, I've got a hockey game here,
I've got a baseball game here.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I like when I have options like that.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
But if you go back to last Monday, the sport's equinox. Yes,
if you only have two televisions, you could not show
for your right league.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're right, So hockey and baseball?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Do you need no or do you need now to
have at least four TVs?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I think you need at least three. I think you
need at least three, at least three.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
But you have to have a mix of sports. Sports
on at all times.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
No, like Sunday afternoon, Sunday afternoon, but please okay, Sunday afternoon.
I would expect there to be three NFL games on right. However,
if the group of people were like, hey, could you
put the Caps game on? If they had a Sunday
a matinee day, then I would expect that would be
on two games and two NFL games in that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
On a Saturday, I would.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Expect it to be college football and a hockey game
or a basketball game either one.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
What about so in terms of the memorabilia, no, we'll
just back to just actual programming. Yes, hours, what about it?
Do hours factor? And as to whether or not you
can call yourself a sports bar, I'm not following you
the actual bars hours well yeah, I mean I don't.
It may work out that you can see local stuff,
but if you want to see international soccer early, oh yeah,
(09:56):
see West Coast.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You definitely have to be late so I can catch
a West Coast game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
They're not going to be open that late. What open
til one am? I mean, yeah, that's fine, I'm good
with that. Early is hard.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I get that soccer people are died or that that's
a big thing. I get it, m but I'm focused
on the on the Big Four and memorabilia, and well
do I need memorabilia?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, okay, I'm asking. I'm asking you think you do?
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Or is any restaurant that has a TV on with
a sporting event on a sports bar? Absolutely not, I agree,
but some people will say, yes, that guy wants me
to go to Clydes.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Clydes is a great option before and after sporting events,
but it is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So I can't sit at the bar at Clyde's and
watch watch the CAFs game. Well you can. I'm a
sports bar. Well watch a sporting event?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Or does it have to have a sports does it?
Just if Clyde's was called Footballs would.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It be then? Are you fine with it? No, it's
still a sports bar? Okay, all right? Was the Green
Turtle sports bar?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
They marketed themselves as that, but restaurant restaurant for dining
exactly exactly Line one.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Hi Elliott the morning, Hey this man? Yeah, Hi, who's
this Patrick from Richmond?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yes, sir, so there's only one legit sports bar in
the city of Richmond that I can think of. It's
Penny Lane Pub. But that's soccer. But that's a legit
sports bar, and.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
We love Penny Lane.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Penny Lane's awesome, Penny Lane was great. Penny Lane is
a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only time I was there, I didn't watch it
when we did when we did our promotion there, I
didn't watch sports.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, like I said, it's soccer.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
But if I went there on a yeah, I mean
I will, I will tell you it does have that
feel for sure, for certain.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
But you're you're about to ask him because we did
go there in the evening and there were number of
games on. Right, What what will they show at night
if it's outside of the MLS season.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh, I ain't got a clue. But if I had
the guests, they usually have some type of reruns on all.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
The time, reruns of like what's happening? No soccer game.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Old soccer, old soccer games.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Okay, now, okay, but okay, So so Penny Lane Pub
is a soccer sports bar period.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yep, that's it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
No other sports, Nope, I've never.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Seen any other sports on. Maybe tennis, but I think
it's just soccer.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay, don't say it with that tone. Don't say I
like tennis. I like tennis, thank you sir. Now I
do like Penny Lane Pub, that's for sure. And I
think I snacked on something there that was really good.
So the food's fine, beer's great.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
But now I do see here and I too agree
it was so much fun people that run it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Operation was an awesome night.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
But they also have a trivia night and they have
a karaoke night.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Like, if you have that kind of U does that
mean if there's no soccer or tennis.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
But not just pennaling pup if you're doing something like that,
does that put into question your claim to being a
sports bar? Or is it a necessary thing to keep?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
See?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But like, for example, if if if if like Coast Guard,
Kurt and Nelly and Bigsie and Dyche and I we're
gonna go to somebody said, hey, let's go watch a game,
where we're going, I'd go to Boston Social, right, it's awesome,
but they also have trivia night, but.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I've never the food. The food's also really good or
Boston Locals local?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Would you say that that is a sports bar?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It is to me, but the food's really good and
they have bands that play in there.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. Said,
but that's where I would go, That's where I would go.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
But it's just not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Then they got a lot of TVs. They got the
sound that pumps all the way through.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
What happens if there's a big game on the How
many rooms are there?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Say, again, there's one big room.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
But it's just like it's kind of like there's like
not partitions, but there's sides.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
And so the band would never affect the viewing of sport.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Correct, I mean unless they were really tall, but they
would interfere with my ability to hear the sound system.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Are there a good number of televisions? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
And what about memorabilia? No, yeah, because you don't need meribilia.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
No you don't. Yeah, bolls and locals awesome, I don't.
I don't. But it's restaurant because I would also go there.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Just to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Their food's good. Their food's really good.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I don't think this is a sports bar. How do
they on their website what they call themselves a neighborhood hangout.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
That's fair. I hang out there a sports bar. Can
pigeonhole you a little bit?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well, yeah, I'm just looking to hang out I'm not
looking at the sports bar.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Where am I going? Line two?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Hey, good morning class.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hey who's this Steve from pick Hey? What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
When's the last time you were to be dubs?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See? To me, not a sports bar, not a sports bar,
not a sports.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Bar, ultimate sports bar. They don't.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They have eighty jerseys everywhere, right on the wall, everything,
and they definitely market themselves around sports.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But it's to me, it's a yes, it's a you
know what, may it may be, but to me, no,
But to me, B Doves is a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
With a lot of sports.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, I'll give you that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I will give you that, that is one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But to me, it's not a sports bar. It's a
restaurant that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Shows it's the number one sports bar that you could
possibly name. Yeah, I mean, listen, I can't argue with you, right, Like,
I get why people would say that.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I totally get why people would say that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
For me, it's anchor bar, I anchor bar. Yeah. No,
but you know what, Yeah, I mean, listen, it means
my criteria. It's got a bar, it's got wings, it's
got TVs for sports, right, yeah, I'm in all right,
very good, very good, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yes Tyler from Instagram.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
We were talking about pub and trivia, knight and karaoke,
but no names. I think a good sports bar has
to have darts and pool tables.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I'm out on pool tables. I'm out on pool tables.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I mean, I don't mind if it's there.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
I don't take up room.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I don't think you have to have a pool table
to be a sports bar. It's a nice it's a
nice addition, but I don't think you have to have it.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's a big footprint it is. So what about darts?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I mean, it's fun, but I wasn't even considering me
taking part in a sport while I was there. Is
that a non negotiable for some people?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I don't know. Can you look up? Can you look
up Palermo's Tavern in Saint Louis? All right? Wow? Found
it in nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
People consider it the original sports bar, Palermos Tavern Tavern
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And what does it look like like? Image wise?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
What does it look like like if you just look
at images? I understand it looks old.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What corner. But is it? Is it a restaurant that's
showing me we're about to go inside?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
It looks so tiny. I don't know how you're setting up.
Oh oh oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
This that's a B Dubs.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
You see this little brick building. Yeah, okay, go inside, dude,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's the exterior. They never go in. I'm fast forwarding.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Sitting SIPs cocktail lounge. They never go in. They never
go in.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Where am I going? Line to? Hi Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
So Elliott, Yes, sir. If David Busters is not an arcade,
then BW Three's is not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Say that again.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
If David Busters is not an arcade, right, is not
a sports bar?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm just okay, I mean that's a fair argument. Is
it just I am internally like if somebody said, if
somebody said, hey, we're all going to watch the Cass game,
we're all going to be Dubbs, I feel like I
would be like, uh okay, well oh there, I'll get
diarrhea here we go. Is it just because internally I'm
(19:29):
wired that way that I don't think of it that way?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Is B Dubs really a sports bar? No?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So you don't see B Dubs as a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Okay, Well, Google AI told us two things this morning.
You don't see B.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Dubs as a sports bar, but they call it a
sports bar.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
And just like they found invisible semen, so.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's invisible sperm, sir, invisible sperm.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
The reason he didn't go inside Palermo's Tavern is because
it closed in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, something else occupies it now or did. But Palermo's
Tafford opened in thirty three closed thirty three years later.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, then try Legends in Long Beach, California.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
By the way, I'm sorry to hear about Palermo's.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It's still a nice run.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay. Legends does open today at eleven am. Okay, this
one says.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
It says the first modern sports bar in America.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Opened in nineteen seventy nine. So you want these photos?
Does that look like a sports bar? I mean the
food looks fantastic.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Food, does look good, great number of televisions.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, see, I like that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I like that it has some memorabilia, but it doesn't
look like overkilled. No, nope, nope, this looks like a
pretty cool that's a sports bar neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Hang, yeah, Jesus Christ. But the food, so I don't understand. Wait,
hold on, hold on, like.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Two, if the food, I know you said they have
to have at least.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Wings minimum like b dubs.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If chef is pumping out stuff, it looks a little
too high class.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine. Like, listen, you
can have pretzels.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You can have like Bavarian pretzels with a bunch of
different mustards. You can have like Philly Philly cheese, steak
egg rolls. Those are a hit. Mutsy sticks. What calamari
is a little hyph falutine? The Yeah, No, that's fine,
that's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where's that crickle legends? Legends? That's a sports the massive screen. Yeah,
I like that. I like that.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Plenty of other This place looks good. Yeah, I'm fine
with this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's your neighborhood. Hang, No, yours is Boston Local, Boston.
I like Boston Local. Hi Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Hello, Hello, I have the answer to your question. Yes,
about what makes it a sports bar. They have to
be broadcasting the game, you know, on a on an
overhead speaker, so that no matter where you are. You
can hear the main game.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Now, I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that.
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
You know you're in line to go to the bathroom.
You want to be able to hear it. And you
have multiple TVs with different games on, and that's great
and that should be there, but the main game, the.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Main Yes, No, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
You are absolutely right, which again gets me to be
dubs and they do that.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I'm be duves. Maybe a sports bar, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Look at it that way. All right, very good, No,
you're right about that. I'm good with that.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
I think the problem is for Buffalo Wild Wings, and
it's a it's a good problem to have, but it stop.
But it hurts in terms of this classification or attempt
to label it. A lot of kids just want to
go there for like birthday dinners. Yes, and I don't
think a sport Legends doesn't look like a place a
kid is going to for a birthday dinner. And I think,
(22:58):
honestly I agree some being a chain to me kind
of hurts it. Also, a big national chain affects.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, you know what.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
There's some validity to that and I want my sports bar. Yeah, no,
there may be some validity.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You don't want to go to your sports part in
another city?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah right, yeah, you know, I don't want to go
to Boston local in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It wouldn't even make sense.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
What about the willingness? This comes up, the willingness to
pay for PPV programming.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a good question. That's
pay per view. I am so like. Are they showing
the UFC fight? Yeah? That could. I like that.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I like that, but it's not a major No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But I like that. But now now, now, now I'm
talking cover eh yet, No, I don't. I don't. I
don't have to have it. I like it, but I
don't have to have it.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Because that for this listener was another reason b dubs
is the.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sports plot that is true? You could go watch that.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
There what other examples other than one that closed in
the sixties and.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Legends you have? Those are the two that I have
on nothing on these counts. No, that's it. Do you
have to be able to get pictures? No, but I
mean you should. Chris says, yes, you don't have to.
You don't have to. Oh what about towers? No, I
love a tower. I love a tower. Love a tower.
(24:43):
You put that, you know what that says? We are drinking.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
We're here, we're drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And it's not that much. I love a tower. It's skimmicky,
but it's fun. They're awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
I'm trying to see if any city lays claim to
having like the most sports bar.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Esque oh, per capita. Actually I have the answer to that.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Saint Cloud, Minnesota, a town of seventy seventy two thousand people,
has ten times the number of sports bars as the
average municipality. Wow, Saint Cloud. Did they name any No,
they just named Saint Cloud.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
We were when we were going to Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Remember that we never made it well because of Delta.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Wasn't one of the bars we were going to right
near the ballpark? Wasn't it a very well known I
think they claimed to be yes sports bar.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yes, it's like loons or loony. No, because we wanted to.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
We know, we were definitely talking about wait, hold on one,
juicy Lucy.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, Christen won made home again. They're great. What about
buckets of beer again?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
It's it's fine fun to have, especially to gaint you
a discount.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Amen. Amen, I don't need it. They usually get.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Warm the drink faster answer man the well, no, oh,
my beer's warm. An idea, speed it up a little, Mary,
let's go. Where am I going?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Line three?
Speaker 6 (26:24):

Speaker 1 (26:27):

Hey?
Speaker 1 (26:30):

What about that old Champions back in the day.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh you know what, Champions was good. Champions was good.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Had tons of TVs, pool starts. Yeah, bar huge.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Champions was good. Although they did call themselves Champion kitchen.
That was a problem.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
When did they ever call them that?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I just saw over time shoulder it said kitchen. Wait
where was the place? Hold on one second, where was
the place in rich men Where where? Oh my god, Elliott,
Oh my god, Joan the moon was eating nachos in
the bathroom stalls?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That was it? Poorhouse. Yeah, that was kind of sports
Barrie to me.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Also, I know the owners were huge hockey fans, huge
hockey fans.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well they've they've courried your favor the little bit a
little bit. These are photos.
Speaker 6 (27:26):

Boston Local for a tall band.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
