SMU @ XL Pregame

[SirHypeAlot]

Looking for suggestions as to where would be a good spot to pregame for the SMU game Sunday. Heading up with 3 buddies and looking for a solid liquid lunch to get lubed up. Anyone have plans for before the game?

Not sure what I will be doing before the game but the best places to go to are Vaughn's Irish Pub or City Steam. Get there early though (2 hours before the game) because the places get packed very quickly.

Solid thanks. Someone else mentioned Vaughn's to me as well so i think I'll check it out.

Had a real good time for the 2 games I was able to attend so far at the Rockinghorse. Good crowd!

Fair warning, any Irish or English style pubs are probably going to be mobbed Sunday around lunchtime because of the League Cup final (11 AM kick). If you're a soccer fan it will be a lot of fun (London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham), but you aren't you might want to avoid pubs in general. I can almost guarantee Vaughn's will be a madhouse.

Rocking Horse is a good college bar with very cheap beers but Pig's Eye is my favorite (right above black eyed Sallys about a block from XL). They have 30 bars on tap, pool, free darts, giant jenga etc. I would highly recommend it.

Didn't realize City Steam was so close; gonna have to check them out when we go to the AAC tournament.

Not sure City Steam will be open pregame on Sunday. Vaughan's, McKinnons and The Tavern for sure yes.

McKinnons will be open. They always opens early for UConn games. They opened at 9 for Cincy.

Rockinghorse has been open early for every single mid-day weekend game this year including the 11 AM start.

 

[whaler11]

City Steam was open for USF and CCSU.

They are all fine, IMO. We probably will go to The Tavern since my buddy is a beer snob and they have the largest draft selection. I prefer the other two if I want to pound the Buds. Vaughn's has the best food, but I find it a bit staid pre-game. Perfect for older guys like whaler. We like City Steam but I don't trust them to be open early on Sunday's.

I just like Vaughn's because they have Tullamore and it's close to the entrance.

Idiots all.

Is there a bar anywhere without Tullamore Dew?

Key is do they have Paddy's?

Whoever he is, I just called a tow truck. Hopefully an alumnus of either Syracuse, Duke, Kentucky, Providence, SMU, Boston College, George Mason, San Diego, NC State, or Memphis.
