Bridgeport Pregame Bar?

[DSquiz]

I have never really been to Bridgeport before. Anyone have recommendations for lunch and some drinks for some mid-twenties?

Since you're going to a bar no matter what, I'll direct you to one in a safer area.

Bridgeport is not a bad city. It does take time to be able to be able to "read" the history of the city.

It seems as if PT Barnum pretty much made the city. Only one of his old mansions still exists. It's down Main Street from Harbor Yard. Very close. It's a museum now. You can walk from this bar to the arena and pass by PT Barnum's mansion. Otherwise, downtown Bridgeport is weak. It's mainly a residential city. Stamford and Norwalk have more going on.

Don't know about pregame but post this place should be packed. Heading there with a big contingent. It will be all ages.

I'm more into great food than drinking , but drinking is a close 2nd

Black Rock section of Bridgeport towards the Fairfield line has a lot of really cool bars, a few offering live music. I second Ralph & Rich's to eat at after the game!

The limerick pub at the arena is opening at 11. That's where I will be. Actual stadium opens at 12.

Where's the best place to park?

Where's the best place to park?

There's a garage next to the Arena, and an open parking lot at the arena.

By the way Bridgeport is not a bad, dangerous place. Its just 'ugly' and old. For those concerned about safety, its 1 o'clock in the afternoon for crying out loud.

If you can't handle Bridgeport in the daytime then I don't know what to tell you.
