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.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
I like cards.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And also Quincy's is the one I was looking for. Yeah,
he's in a yep.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
So Quincy's to you is a sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh? Not really? But like I said, there's not really
a sports bar in german Town.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
So okay, yeah, no, no, that that's fine.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I get that.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
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 6 (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.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Of a 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 where you could watch a sporting event?
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I think it's the latter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's just a bar and a restaurant where you
could 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 5 (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 5 (02:05):
I don't think you.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
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 3 (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 6 (02:27):
Like, what's a quintessential sports bar in your mind? The Oh,
you can't name it either?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
See I didn't. I didn't say I could.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
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?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
So 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.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Also, that's why you were saying thank you for Buffalo
Wild No, because to me, Buffalo Wild Wings isn't a
sports bar.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Isn't No No, Buffalo Wild No. And you could have tables.
You can definitely have tables.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
So that is that does not disqualify you.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
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 4 (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 4 (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.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
You just said you gotta have food.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I want food.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
You gotta have wings.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You gotta have wings.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You gotta have wings, just wings minimum minimum. Let me
ask you this, Let me ask you this. 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 5 (04:08):
Didn't we see it closed years later?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think you're right it closed. Was that a sports bar?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
See?
Speaker 4 (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, but.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
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 4 (04:41):
You keep speaking with this little grin on your face
like you know something rules I don't, or you know
what rules. 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 6 (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?
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And it's 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 crimson your hand, I mean trying to eat
a croissant. I serve those at my sports bar. What
about memorabilia?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I think you have to start with televisions. Oh, you
definitely have to have a television. No, but do you
need more than one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, Well I'm not going to go sit in there
and go, hey, can we turn on old Timey? We're
all going to sit around the Victrola and listen to the.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
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 5 (05:55):
How many?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well, it depends on the size of the place, does
it or yes?
Speaker 4 (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):
Have TVs so I can see.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I understood. But yeah, let's say there's one main area.
You gotta have multiple, multiple TVs.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
But do you need to have a bar?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yes, Elliott, Well I'm telling you, and that'd be one
thing we all agree on.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
There has to be there has to be a bar. Yes, okay,
check TVs?
Speaker 4 (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 5 (06:45):
No, I agree. I don't think you have to have
that now.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No, I mean now, listen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're going to bill yourself as the Buffalo Bill's bar,
then yes you better have that. But no, you don't
have to be specific to an individual team. No, not
at all, Not at all.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Does the TV if you have at least two TVs?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (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 2 (07:22):
I'm fine if it's a default, But if somebody asks,
like if there's a whole group and the like, hey
we're here and we're big Atlanta Falcons fans, yeah, switch
it over.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
So you have to be accommodating.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to be, but it would be nice
like 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.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Then you have to say I'm sorry, I can't change it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Everybody's invested in these two games.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But now if I have three TVs, then you can
do that.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Does it have to be multiple sports?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was just gonna say, I'm gonna move this dose.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
You keep sticking with the NFL. Yeah, no, it is
your example. What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Croissants are notoriously crumby.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Le Madelin did a beautiful job. They're so flaky it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Looks like I have croissant dandruff and it just fell
all over me.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, No, I do like I like when.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
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 5 (08:34):
I like when I have options like that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But if you go back to last Monday, the Sports 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 4 (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, But.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
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, can 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 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, we see West Coast, you definitely have to be
late so I can catch a West Coast game.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
They're not going to be open that late.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
What op un til one am?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I mean, yeah, OK, 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, 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.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
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 4 (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 Cavs 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 Clydees was called Footballs would it be then?
Are you fine with it?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
No, it's still not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, all right? Was the Green Turtle sports bar?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
They marketed themselves as that, but I restaurant restaurant for
dining exactly exactly Line.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
One, Hi, Elliet in the morning.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Hey this man?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, Hi, who's this Patrick from Richmond?
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
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.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Penny Lane is a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only time I was there, I didn't watch an
when we did when we did our promotion there, I
didn't watch sports.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Well, like I said, it's soccer.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But if I went.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
There on a yeah, I mean I will, I will
tell you it does have that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Feel for sure, for certain.
Speaker 4 (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 7 (12:26):
Oh, I ain't got a clue, but if I had
the guess, they usually have some type of reruns on.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All the time, reruns of like What's happening?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No soccer games, 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 5 (12:46):
No other sports, Nope, I've never seen any other sports on.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
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 for sure, and I
think I snacked on something there that was really good.
So the food's fine, beer's great.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (13:15):
But they also have a trivia night and they have
a karaoke night.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Like, if you have that kind of va, does that
mean if there's no soccer or tennis but not just
penaling 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 5 (13:42):
See?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But like, for example, if if if if like Coast Guard,
Curt and Nelly and Biggsie and Dyche and I, we're
gonna go to somebody said, hey, let's go watch a game.
Where we're going I go to Boston Social, Right, it's awesome,
but they also have trivia night, but.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
I've never the food.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
The food's also really good or Boston Local local?
Speaker 5 (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 5 (14:10):
Yeah, I know I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Said, but that's where I would go, That's where I
would go.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But it's just not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Then they got a lot of TVs.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
They got the sound that pumps all the way through.
What happens if there's a big game on. 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 5 (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 5 (14:47):
Are there a good number of televisions?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (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.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
But it's restaurant because I would also go there.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Just to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Their food's good, Their food's really good.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
I don't think this is a sports bar.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
How do they on their website what they call themselves
a neighborhood hangout.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
That's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I hang out there a sports bar. Can pigeonhole you
a little bit? Well, yeah, I'm just looking to hang out.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm not looking at the sports bar. Where am I going?
Line two?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Hey, good morning class?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hey who's this?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Dud?
Speaker 7 (15:35):
When's the last time you were to be dubs?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
To me, not a sports bar, not a sports bar,
not a sports.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Bar, ultimate sports bar.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's a yes, it's a you know what, may it
may be, but to me, no.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But to me, Big B Doves is a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (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.
But to me, it's not a sports bar. It's a
restaurant that 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 at anchor Bar.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I love anchor Bar.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
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 5 (16:43):
Yes Tyler from Instagram.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (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 5 (17:01):
I don't take up to 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.
That's a big footprint it is.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So what about darts?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
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 5 (17:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Can you look up? Can you look up Palermo's Tavern
in Saint Louis?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Found it in nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
People consider it the original sports bar, Palermos Tavern Tavern
in Saint Louis. And what does it look like like?
Image wise? What does it look like like if you
just look at images? I understand it looks old.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
What's corner? But is it?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is it a restaurant that's showing.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Me we're about to go inside?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 4 (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):
That's a B Dubs.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
You see this little brick building.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah, okay, go inside, dude, I get it.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's the exterior.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
They never go in.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I'm fast forwarding, sitting SIPs cocktail lounge. They never go in.
They never go in. Where am I going line to?
Hi Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 7 (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 7 (19:01):
If David Busters is not an arcade, right, is not
a sports bar?
Speaker 5 (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 Caps game,
we're all going to be Dubs, I feel like I
would be like, ugh, 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?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
No?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
So you don't see B Dubs in a sports bar.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Okay, Well, Google AI told us two things this morning.
You don't see B Dubs as a sports bar, but
they call it a sports bar. And just like they
found invisible semen, so.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's invisible sperm, sir, invisible sperm. Yes.
Speaker 4 (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 4 (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. By the way,
I'm sorry to hear about Palermo's.

It's sill a nice run. Okay, Legends does open today
at eleven AM.

Okay, this one says.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
It says the first modern sports bar in America.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Opened in nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
So you want these photos?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Does that look like a sports bar? I mean the
food looks fantastic.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Food does look good. Great number of televisions.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, see, I like that.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I like that it casts 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 5 (20:48):
Hang, yeah, Jesus Christ. But the food, so I don't understand. Wait,
hold on, hold on, like two if the food, I
know you said they have to have at least.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Wings minimum like b dubs.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
If chef is pumping out stuff, it looks a little
too high class.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
No, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Like listen, you can have pretcels.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You can have like Bavarian prencels with a bunch of
different mustards.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
You can have like Philly Philly cheese, steak egg rolls.
Those are a hit us mutsy sticks. What calamari is
a little hyph falutine the Yeah, No, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Where's that Legends?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Legends?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
That's a sports the one massive screen.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Plenty of other tele This place looks good. I'm fine
with this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Hang, No, yours is Boston Local, Boston. I like Boston Local.
Hi Elli in the morning.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (22:06):
Now, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I'm with you on you know, you're in line to
go to the bathroom. You want to be able to
hear it. And you have multiple TVs but different games
on and that's great and that should be there, but
the main game.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The 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 5 (22:26):
I be Duves.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Maybe a sports bar, but I don't look at it
that way. All right, very good, No, you're right about that.
I'm good with that.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I think the problem is for Buffalo Wildings, and it's
a it's a good problem to Haverhea, 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 think being a chain to me
kind of hurts it. Also, a big national chain affects.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, you know what. There's some validity to that, and
I want my sports bar. Yeah, no, there may be
some validity.
Speaker 5 (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. It wouldn't even make sense.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
What about the willingness? This comes up, the willingness to
pay for PPV programming.
Speaker 2 (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?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah? That could.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I like that, but it's not a major No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But I like that.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
But now now, now, now I'm talking cover eh yet, No.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I don't, I don't. I don't have to have it.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I like it, but I don't have to have it
because that for this listener was another reason b dubs
is the sports plot.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That is true? You could go watch that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
There what other examples other than one that closed in
the sixties and legends?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Do you have?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Those are the two that I have?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
On nothing on these count No, that's it.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do you have to be able to get pictures?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No, but I mean you should. Christian says, yes, you
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You don't have to. Oh what about towers?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I love a tower.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I love a tower.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Love a tower. You put that, you know what that says?
We are drinking.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
We're here, we're drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And it's not that much. I love a tower.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
It's skimmicky, but it's fun. They're awesome.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm trying to see if any city lays claim to
having like the most sports bar esque.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
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 5 (25:34):
We were when.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We were going to Minneapolis, remember that we never made
it well.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Because of Delta.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (25:50):
Yes, it's like.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Loons or loony.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No, because we wanted to we know, we were definitely
talking about wait, hold on one, juicy Lucy.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, Christen won.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Made home again. They're great.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
What about buckets of beer.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Again? It's it's fine fun to have, especially to gets
you a discount. Amen, Amen, I don't need it, they
usually get warm.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The drake faster.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Answer man the well, no, oh my beer's warm?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
An idea? Speed it up a little, Mary, let's go Where.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Am I going?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Line three?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Sensitivity training?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Hi, Elliot the morning?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (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 3 (26:42):
Had tons of TVs pool starts.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Yeah, bar huge, Champions was good.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Although they did call themselves Champion kitchen. That was a problem.
Speaker 6 (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 5 (27:08):
That was it? Poorhouse?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
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 5 (27:19):
Well they've they've courried your favor.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
The little bit a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
These are photos. Now there is a decent sized stage for.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
A band, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
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.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
I like cards.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And also Quincy's is the one I was looking for. Yeah,
he's in a yep.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
So Quincy's to you is a sports bar?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh? Not really? But like I said, there's not really
a sports bar in german Town.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
So okay, yeah, no, no, that that's fine.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I get that.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
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 6 (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.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Of a 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 where you could watch a sporting event?
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I think it's the latter.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's just a bar and a restaurant where you
could 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 5 (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 5 (02:05):
I don't think you.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
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 3 (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 6 (02:27):
Like, what's a quintessential sports bar in your mind? The Oh,
you can't name it either?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
See I didn't. I didn't say I could.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
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?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
So 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.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Also, that's why you were saying thank you for Buffalo
Wild No, because to me, Buffalo Wild Wings isn't a
sports bar.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Isn't No No, Buffalo Wild No. And you could have tables.
You can definitely have tables.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
So that is that does not disqualify you.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
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 4 (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 4 (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.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
You just said you gotta have food.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I want food.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
You gotta have wings.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You gotta have wings.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You gotta have wings, just wings minimum minimum. Let me
ask you this, Let me ask you this. 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 5 (04:08):
Didn't we see it closed years later?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I think you're right it closed. Was that a sports bar?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
See?
Speaker 4 (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, but.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
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 4 (04:41):
You keep speaking with this little grin on your face
like you know something rules I don't, or you know
what rules. 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 6 (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?
Speaker 6 (05:12):
And it's 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 crimson your hand, I mean trying to eat
a croissant. I serve those at my sports bar. What
about memorabilia?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I think you have to start with televisions. Oh, you
definitely have to have a television. No, but do you
need more than one?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, Well I'm not going to go sit in there
and go, hey, can we turn on old Timey? We're
all going to sit around the Victrola and listen to the.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
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 5 (05:55):
How many?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well, it depends on the size of the place, does
it or yes?
Speaker 4 (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):
Have TVs so I can see.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I understood. But yeah, let's say there's one main area.
You gotta have multiple, multiple TVs.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
But do you need to have a bar?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yes, Elliott, Well I'm telling you, and that'd be one
thing we all agree on.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
There has to be there has to be a bar. Yes, okay,
check TVs?
Speaker 4 (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 5 (06:45):
No, I agree. I don't think you have to have
that now.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No, I mean now, listen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
If you're going to bill yourself as the Buffalo Bill's bar,
then yes you better have that. But no, you don't
have to be specific to an individual team. No, not
at all, Not at all.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Does the TV if you have at least two TVs?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (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 2 (07:22):
I'm fine if it's a default, But if somebody asks,
like if there's a whole group and the like, hey
we're here and we're big Atlanta Falcons fans, yeah, switch
it over.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
So you have to be accommodating.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't have to be, but it would be nice
like 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.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Then you have to say I'm sorry, I can't change it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Everybody's invested in these two games.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But now if I have three TVs, then you can
do that.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Does it have to be multiple sports?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I was just gonna say, I'm gonna move this dose.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
You keep sticking with the NFL. Yeah, no, it is
your example. What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Croissants are notoriously crumby.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Le Madelin did a beautiful job. They're so flaky it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Looks like I have croissant dandruff and it just fell
all over me.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, No, I do like I like when.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
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 5 (08:34):
I like when I have options like that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
But if you go back to last Monday, the Sports 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 4 (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, But.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
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, can 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 4 (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.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, we see West Coast, you definitely have to be
late so I can catch a West Coast game.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
They're not going to be open that late.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
What op un til one am?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I mean, yeah, OK, 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, 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.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
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 4 (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 Cavs 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 Clydees was called Footballs would it be then?
Are you fine with it?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
No, it's still not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, all right? Was the Green Turtle sports bar?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
They marketed themselves as that, but I restaurant restaurant for
dining exactly exactly Line.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
One, Hi, Elliet in the morning.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Hey this man?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, Hi, who's this Patrick from Richmond?
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
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.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Penny Lane is a sports bar.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only time I was there, I didn't watch an
when we did when we did our promotion there, I
didn't watch sports.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Well, like I said, it's soccer.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But if I went.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
There on a yeah, I mean I will, I will
tell you it does have that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Feel for sure, for certain.
Speaker 4 (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 7 (12:26):
Oh, I ain't got a clue, but if I had
the guess, they usually have some type of reruns on.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
All the time, reruns of like What's happening?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No soccer games, 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 5 (12:46):
No other sports, Nope, I've never seen any other sports on.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
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 for sure, and I
think I snacked on something there that was really good.
So the food's fine, beer's great.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (13:15):
But they also have a trivia night and they have
a karaoke night.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Like, if you have that kind of va, does that
mean if there's no soccer or tennis but not just
penaling 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 5 (13:42):
See?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But like, for example, if if if if like Coast Guard,
Curt and Nelly and Biggsie and Dyche and I, we're
gonna go to somebody said, hey, let's go watch a game.
Where we're going I go to Boston Social, Right, it's awesome,
but they also have trivia night, but.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
I've never the food.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
The food's also really good or Boston Local local?
Speaker 5 (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 5 (14:10):
Yeah, I know I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Said, but that's where I would go, That's where I
would go.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
But it's just not a sports bar.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Then they got a lot of TVs.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
They got the sound that pumps all the way through.
What happens if there's a big game on. 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 5 (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 5 (14:47):
Are there a good number of televisions?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (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.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
But it's restaurant because I would also go there.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Just to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Their food's good, Their food's really good.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
I don't think this is a sports bar.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
How do they on their website what they call themselves
a neighborhood hangout.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
That's fair.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I hang out there a sports bar. Can pigeonhole you
a little bit? Well, yeah, I'm just looking to hang out.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I'm not looking at the sports bar. Where am I going?
Line two?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Hi Ellie in the morning, Hey, good morning class?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Hey who's this?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Dud?
Speaker 7 (15:35):
When's the last time you were to be dubs?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
To me, not a sports bar, not a sports bar,
not a sports.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Bar, ultimate sports bar.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's a yes, it's a you know what, may it
may be, but to me, no.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But to me, Big B Doves is a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (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.
But to me, it's not a sports bar. It's a
restaurant that 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 at anchor Bar.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I love anchor Bar.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
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 5 (16:43):
Yes Tyler from Instagram.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (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 5 (17:01):
I don't take up to 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.
That's a big footprint it is.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So what about darts?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
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 5 (17:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Can you look up? Can you look up Palermo's Tavern
in Saint Louis?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Found it in nineteen thirty three.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
People consider it the original sports bar, Palermos Tavern Tavern
in Saint Louis. And what does it look like like?
Image wise? What does it look like like if you
just look at images? I understand it looks old.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
What's corner? But is it?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is it a restaurant that's showing.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Me we're about to go inside?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Here?
Speaker 4 (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):
That's a B Dubs.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
You see this little brick building.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah, okay, go inside, dude, I get it.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's the exterior.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
They never go in.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I'm fast forwarding, sitting SIPs cocktail lounge. They never go in.
They never go in. Where am I going line to?
Hi Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 7 (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 7 (19:01):
If David Busters is not an arcade, right, is not
a sports bar?
Speaker 5 (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 Caps game,
we're all going to be Dubs, I feel like I
would be like, ugh, 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?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
No?
Speaker 7 (19:35):
So you don't see B Dubs in a sports bar.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Okay, Well, Google AI told us two things this morning.
You don't see B Dubs as a sports bar, but
they call it a sports bar. And just like they
found invisible semen, so.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's invisible sperm, sir, invisible sperm. Yes.
Speaker 4 (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 4 (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. By the way,
I'm sorry to hear about Palermo's.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's sill a nice run. Okay, Legends does open today
at eleven AM.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Okay, this one says.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
It says the first modern sports bar in America.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Opened in nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
So you want these photos?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Does that look like a sports bar? I mean the
food looks fantastic.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Food does look good. Great number of televisions.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, see, I like that.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I like that it casts 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 5 (20:48):
Hang, yeah, Jesus Christ. But the food, so I don't understand. Wait,
hold on, hold on, like two if the food, I
know you said they have to have at least.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Wings minimum like b dubs.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
If chef is pumping out stuff, it looks a little
too high class.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
No, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Like listen, you can have pretcels.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You can have like Bavarian prencels with a bunch of
different mustards.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
You can have like Philly Philly cheese, steak egg rolls.
Those are a hit us mutsy sticks. What calamari is
a little hyph falutine the Yeah, No, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Where's that Legends?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Legends?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
That's a sports the one massive screen.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Plenty of other tele This place looks good. I'm fine
with this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
That's your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Hang, No, yours is Boston Local, Boston. I like Boston Local.
Hi Elli in the morning.
Speaker 8 (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 5 (22:06):
Now, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
I'm with you on you know, you're in line to
go to the bathroom. You want to be able to
hear it. And you have multiple TVs but different games
on and that's great and that should be there, but
the main game.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The 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 5 (22:26):
I be Duves.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Maybe a sports bar, but I don't look at it
that way. All right, very good, No, you're right about that.
I'm good with that.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I think the problem is for Buffalo Wildings, and it's
a it's a good problem to Haverhea, 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 think being a chain to me
kind of hurts it. Also, a big national chain affects.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, you know what. There's some validity to that, and
I want my sports bar. Yeah, no, there may be
some validity.
Speaker 5 (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. It wouldn't even make sense.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
What about the willingness? This comes up, the willingness to
pay for PPV programming.
Speaker 2 (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?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah? That could.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I like that, but it's not a major No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
But I like that.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
But now now, now, now I'm talking cover eh yet, No.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I don't, I don't. I don't have to have it.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
I like it, but I don't have to have it
because that for this listener was another reason b dubs
is the sports plot.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That is true? You could go watch that.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
There what other examples other than one that closed in
the sixties and legends?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Do you have?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Those are the two that I have?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
On nothing on these count No, that's it.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do you have to be able to get pictures?
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No, but I mean you should. Christian says, yes, you
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You don't have to. Oh what about towers?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I love a tower.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
I love a tower.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Love a tower. You put that, you know what that says?
We are drinking.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
We're here, we're drinking.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And it's not that much. I love a tower.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
It's skimmicky, but it's fun. They're awesome.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I'm trying to see if any city lays claim to
having like the most sports bar esque.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
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 5 (25:34):
We were when.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We were going to Minneapolis, remember that we never made
it well.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Because of Delta.
Speaker 4 (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 5 (25:50):
Yes, it's like.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Loons or loony.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No, because we wanted to we know, we were definitely
talking about wait, hold on one, juicy Lucy.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, Christen won.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Made home again. They're great.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
What about buckets of beer.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Again? It's it's fine fun to have, especially to gets
you a discount. Amen, Amen, I don't need it, they
usually get warm.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The drake faster.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Answer man the well, no, oh my beer's warm?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
An idea? Speed it up a little, Mary, let's go Where.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Am I going?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Line three?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Sensitivity training?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Hi, Elliot the morning?

Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (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 3 (26:42):
Had tons of TVs pool starts.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Yeah, bar huge, Champions was good.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Although they did call themselves Champion kitchen. That was a problem.
Speaker 6 (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 5 (27:08):
That was it? Poorhouse?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
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 5 (27:19):
Well they've they've courried your favor.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
The little bit a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
These are photos. Now there is a decent sized stage for.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
A band, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:32):

Boston Local for a tall band.
