Couldn't tell you. Never watched a game at any of them...only pre-gamed. For a watch party I'd probably do City Steam or Tavern.

Tavern is a sports bar. City steam is not.
City stream is a restaurant, brewery, comedy club (yup) with a bar, that has some TVs in the bar. Pretty easy decision.

No way. City Steam has much more space, a bigger and better menu, better beers, is less of a dive, and has probably more TV's. Tavern has always been a let's-throw-a-few-back-without-eating-and-lets-go-to-the-game place. I'd probably do City Steam with a group for the entire game. Just pre-gaming? Tavern all day.

Tavern has more TVs and more space (with a view of a TV) the entire venue is a sports bar geared towards watching games on their television. And it'll have the game audio on.
They fill up and everyone has a view of their game on NFL Sundays. City Steam can't say that.
His criteria was watch party. I'd go to the best place to watch the game, Tavern. Menu and beer list are lower priority. City stream is a brewery so yes it'll have a long list of it's own beers. Tavern has plenty of good beers on tap as well though.
Going someplace and not getting a good view of a TV or being able to hear the broadcast is the worst experience possible in my opinion.

Thank you @Waquoit @bigknight3 @XLCenterFan for this conversation.
Exact info I’m looking for. I do prefer the game audio & its next to impossible to know which places have that without someone’s insider knowledge.
Yelp isn’t what it used to be & some google reviews aren’t much help either.

The Pratt St. website says there is a "UConn Basketball Pep Rally", but clicking the "More Info" button just bring you back to the events page. Does anyone have other info?

Pretty sure Booch never packed up the bottles of liquor at The Federal.
Can always break the glass and drink for free there if you’re super tight on money.

Sell-out, perpetually understaffed XL Center, and autographs in the atrium?
This will be a cluster. Place won't be full until the under 12 timeout.
Would like to be wrong, but get there early.
