Cowboys Saloons
I posted this thread back in the spring, when things were slow. Now that the preseason is upon us, reader Big Jim has suggested it's a good time to revive it.
Where do you live and where do you go to watch the Cowboys? Speak up, you might find some new friends off this site.

Waco, TX, watch mostly at home. I usually make 2-3 games at Texas Stadium. I just got my tickets for the Monday night game with the ring of honor induction. I’ll also make the Detroit game as well.

Naperville, IL (Chicagoland: originally from Abilene / Dallas)
I went to RipRock’s in Oak Brook / Lombard last year but it closed down.. I need to find a new place around here, preferably without ‘da Bears’ on at hearing loss-inducing volume

I live in Pasadena, CA and have watched the games in Santa Monica at a great restaurant called Busby’s where folks get the big screen in the back to watch the Cowboys and the food is not the nasty typical bar food. I’m hoping I can find just as good of a place closer to home to watch the games.

Aric:
I live in Los Angeles and am looking for a restaurant/bar where I can see all of the Cowboys games this year. My neighbor is from Dallas and is a Cowboys fan and I am thinking if we can get a few others we can talk someplace into going for it. Since most of the Cowboys Sunday games will be on Sunday mornings for our timezone maybe that will help?
I also recall that about 3 of the first 5 Cowboys games are against west coast opponents, so maybe there will be fans of the California teams that want to see the game to pull for their team.

Wisconsin Rapids, WI, and I have to get my updates online, because around here it is all Packers, all the time.

If not on TV, NFL FieldPass listening to the horrible announcers from other team’s radio station.

Miami Florida, F_ _ K the Dolfins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i purchased sunday ticket, then my house cause there aint nothing better!!!
but if not i go to Coach Schnellenberger Sports theatre were they have 12 huge projector screens with all the games and individual speakers at every table to switch the audio between games. If the beer were cheaper, it would be heaven for football!!!!

Have lived everywhere.
In Tampa (current), best place is the Wing House (5 or 6 Locations), started by Crawford Kerr
In Denver – Champps in the new mall (Park something) or a little place off I-70 W in Lakeland (forgot the name, but it’s pretty well known)
In Phoenix – Sports Authority near ASU (best talent anywhere)
In DC – Don’t go in public (though the ESPN Zone in nearby Baltimore is awesome)
In Detroit – Don’t go at all (to the city…period)
In Cincinnati – The Marriott (Downtown) Sports Bar, really. The Ramada has a great sports bar as well, but limited games.
In NY – ESPN Zone, Times Square

Almost forgot, In Waco (for Josh), you’ve got to go to George’s with the Big O ($1 last time I went).
And Ryan-CT, don’t know how close you are to Hartford (I’m thinking not too far), the Hilton downtown is a big Cowboys spot…but you do have to go to downtown Hartford :)

Sterling,
You should definitely check out Busby’s in Santa Monica if you’re anywhere near the west side of LA since they have a 5-6 person contigent of Cowboys fans that always gets the back room with the big screen. But, that depends on where you live in LA.

El Paso, TX.
Belive it or not not everybody it this TX town is not a COWBOY Fan, so dealing with the Pittsburgh Squealer, 40 whiner, Oakland Fader,and Washington Foreskins fan clubs is a bit annoying, but I’ll be at Smokey’s Saloon on Viscount. Screw the REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jay davis, have you heard anything that confirms Hunter is back with us? I keep hearing it, but I can’t find any confirmation.
by Rob2 on Aug 12, 2005 3:28 PM CDT reply actions
Fighter, I spend plenty of time with the Big’ 0’s. The problem is actually its own popularity. Georges is so crowded and loud that you can’t watch the game. In college I actually worked for Georges selling beer at Baylor home games. I like to hit George’s during off-peak hours. The Big’O is only 2.75 these days. not bad.
by Josh McCormick on Aug 12, 2005 3:37 PM CDT reply actions
Thanks Aric!! I live in Hollywood, so Santa Monica is not that far. I’ll look up Busby’s and check it out. Anyplace that supports Cowboys fans is worth my time.
Thanks!!

Luckily I know a Cowboys fan out here and I convinced another friend of mine to pay for the NFL season ticket so we can watch Big Bill bring us back to the promised land this year….. YES!!!! It’s nothing but Packers around here but it doesn’t bother me too much. The football fans in WI are as passionate as they come. Unfortunately I was at Lambeau last year when we got blown off the field. I took a lot of abuse that day. :(

What’s this about DeMarcus Ware being hurt. I hope that’s a joke.

Yeah, let’s bring Pete Hunter back. Maybe we can trade him again and get another 6th-round pick.
[Yes, I’m joking!]

I’m going to be in LA Saturday night and will be looking
for a place to watch the game. I’ll be staying near Hollywood
so would like some directions to Busby’s.

I live in Chester, Va just outside of Richmond. I have Direct TV and watch every week at home w/my pops. There are a lot of Boys fans here but of course, in Deadskins country, you gotta deal with their nonsense. My family is from Waco and we will be traveling there during the season and I plan on stopping by Georges. Thanks Josh Mccormick and Fighter15! Its Time! LET’S GET IT STARTED! GO COWBOYS!

Hey A.K.
Does the Outback always show the Cowboys games?
I just got transfered here from Austin and heard that locally
they often show the Saints instead of the ’Boys

As luck would have it (all bad) just recently moved to Pittsburgh PA for a job. Does anyone out there know of a place to see the Boys play?

Rafael:
Cool… go ahead and email me at sterlingprorecording (at) hotmail.com and I can give you the info. I hope you are enjoying your stay in Southern California!!
I was thinking about checking out this Busby’s place with my neighbor from Dallas tomorrow night too. The only thing is, I read on CitySearch that they charge a $10 cover at night and on weekend nights they have a DJ and dancing. It may be fun but I was hoping for more of a regular sports bar atmosphere, that other stuff is for the other 6 nights of the week. I may still go…not sure yet.
I am also thinking about just going to Hooters on Hollywood Blvd. for this game instead, I just called them and they said they’ll play it.
by Sterling on Aug 12, 2005 10:00 PM CDT reply actions
sterling and rafael,
yeah, busby’s at night is more of a restaurant/lounge feel. on sundays, it’s straight restaurant and more sports bar feeling. if you’re watching the preseason game (i’m listening to it online), you might want to call ahead of time.
there’s also a few great spots in old town Pasadena and in Burbank that should be showing the preseason games.
enjoy!

rob2,
i heard the same about ware’s injury but couldn’t find anything except for on cbs.sportsline.com:
"If the Cowboys have difficulty capitalizing, it may have something to do with their own injuries.
Nose tackle Jason Ferguson (ankle) is questionable, although his backup is La’Roi Glover, another ferocious pass rusher. Rookie defensive end Marcus Spears, a reserve, is out with injuries to his right leg."
anybody know more???
by aric on Aug 12, 2005 10:52 PM CDT reply actions
meaning that they don’t mention the injury to ware, but i heard it briefly on an online radio chat

Sterling,
I’ll e-mail you when I hit town tomorrow. It’s probably way too much to ask of the world, but if I can find a place with the game and wifi, I will try to blog live.
by Rafael Vela on Aug 12, 2005 11:02 PM CDT reply actions
aric,
According to DallasCowboys.com, the following players are scheduled to miss the Arizona game: Barnes, Bickerstaff, Ferguson, Ryan, and Spears. There is no (bad) news about Ware whatsoever on that site, or DMN, or any forum I have visited today. The Ware injury rumor is someone’s bad joke!
All of those sites have had plenty of time to report on any injury to Ware, which they would certainly do, given the importance of the player. When you consider that there wasn’t even a practice today, just a walk-through prior to getting on the plane, it is highly unlikely that an injury could even happen, much less not be reported many hours later.
This is the only place I have seen, where it is even being discussed. Rest easy.

Rafael,
Thanks for the love and the thread.
If anyone’s in NYC let’s get something big going.
I swear every 5th person I meet here is from Texas.
by Big Jim on Aug 13, 2005 2:04 AM CDT reply actions
I have checked EVERY place I can think of for news about Ware’s injury. It doesn’t appear to be true. In an article on Dallascowboys.com, written at 8:53pm last night, this is what Chad Peters said that Ware would start against Arizona, and that his reps should not be as limited as some of the veterans. Sounds good to me.

Hello, I’m in the DC metro area and I watch the Cowboy’s games @ Champions in Rockville. It’s a good crowd especially when the Redskins are losing and the boys are winning.

Hey Travlr,
Actually the Outback Pub is now closed down and a new sports bar is opening up at that same location. I am not sure how familar you are with the area, but Dave & Buster’s is up the street and Champs Sports Bar is also another bar that is about 5 mins away. There are plenty of spots in that area, i have been in Houston since 1998. Holla if you need to find a place to watch the games. You wouldn’t beileve all these looser Texan fans in this town and how much they dispise the Boys

Fighter15, I’m in Tampa and looking for a new spot to watch the games since my old spot downtown closed up shop.
I’d considered popping over to Winghouse. It seems an obvious choice. Can you hear the audio from the Cowboys’ TV broadcast or do the Bucs fans rule?

I was at Busby’s for the Arizona game saturday night and yeah right about at halftime the room I was in turned into a dance floor.
Nothing worse than watching the Cowboys to the sounds of the 80’s.
I may go back but I’m still looking for a better and more cowboys friendly atmosphere.
Maybe sundays will be better.
