Default So called Sports Bar

So here is the question Lollygagers.

How do you call yourself a sports bar when you turn out the lights at 8pm. We are just starting a busy sports season and you can’t stay there to even watch the start of the late games or even finish a game that may run late.

Most places in the villages are the same with the exception of 1 or 2 that I know.

Just my rant

Just to name a few, Gators, City Fire, Cody's, Millers Ale House, all open late most days some until midnight. Shop around.

LOL, you don’t understand the place you were in was a sports bar for retired old people that watch the afternoon games and normally go to bed at 9 after the squares close?

A few years ago, I went to Beef O'Bradys at Colony Plaza to watch a Patriots game. The sign outside said "Sports Bar". But, when I went inside, I found out that they didn't even have the Sunday Ticket that is required to watch the game. Go figure.

Word Up! Gators is about it. Even Boosters Bar and Grill will close at 9:00 PM.
It would be nice for them to stay open until 10:00 PM to watch the first half of the late games.

Beefs has been going downhill...Years ago it was packed now barely alive.
Their hot chicken wings are still excellent.

Their wings…..close as I can find to the taste/texture of a western NY wing!

FMK is opening their Tap Room restaurant in the former Red Lobster building on 466 in October. The owner says he’ll stay open for business late for sporting events.

Do you also have the Sunday Ticket? What size is the TV? Where do you live?

Several. Wifes says one of the TV's seems to get only Golf and Football channels, go figure.

But you get in-depth coverage of all The Villages shuffleboard and bocce games.

I suspect the Victory may also be open later since it's a different demo. Then of course there is Hooters

Would rather have Beef on Weck for a game. Some dives actually offer ranch dressing instead of blue cheese with their wings. The Western NY flavor is absent 90% of the time at any place here in the Villages. We shall see with Hooters…lol

Hopefully the food will be good and the waitresses will help encourage folks to come
