Terminal 5 Run Pre-Show Meet-Up Parties

[KingRhinoNJ]

Each night we pick a different bar or restaurant near Terminal 5 and get our pre-game on there then travel en masse to the airplane hangar ... I mean ... venue .....

[Penny Lane]

I found a place tonight that I think is going to be great. The Manager even knew and liked the band and was at the NYE show. We can have the whole second floor all week if we want it. It's pretty close to the venue, too.

McGhees (on 55th between Broadway and 8th)
240 W 55th St
(between Broadway & 8th Ave)
New York, NY 10019
Neighborhood: Midtown West

This is the bar that inspired "How I met your mother" and is right around the corner from Letterman. They have a ton of beers (including Yuengling in case the Goose is making this trip). They have 3 floors and because we'll be there on the earlier side, he'll open it every day for us at 5 and we can have the 2nd floor until whenever and our own bartender. It's pretty big, there are tables up there, full bar, tvs, and we can hang our flags (vespa and bluesky) or do whatever we want (as long as they're not Union Jacks). *Irish Bar

I knew it was a good sign when I started describing the Terminal 5 shows, he said "Oh I know that band, I was at their NYE show, just saw Jim on Fallon with the Roots!"...(bells are going off in my head)...he gave me a tour of the place, and said no deposit needed, also there's no reason for the drink tickets or wristbands or anything, because they have the best happy hour specials in NYC (this is really true)..*cheap food, too..

I mean it's just an option, obviously people will be all over and do whatever. I'll probably hang here for a couple hours before each show because there isn't much over near Terminal 5. I wanna be over there in line by 7:30.

ALady-i'm coming with for Brooklyn Brewery, but i'll be back in time..no way i'm missing front row for beer tastings  :)  :)

Let me know what you guys think. This place was calling to me from Google Maps, and it worked out. But I can check out other places...and really it's all about location/cheap beer/and cheep food. (and our FLAGS, damnit)

Happy Frizziday!

Being chased by a crazed crack addict ... Minute and a half

That sounds like a good idea....but don't the doors open at 7pm?

ah, okay..not sure. i'll go over earlier then.

If the bar opens at 5, and doors are at 7, it sounds like we'll get a good half-hour of slamming drinks before we'll want to head over to Terminal 5...   ::)

i'm a 2 beer queer so a half hour's perfect for me!

So glad these plans are underway.  This place sounds awesome Penny!
Really not far from T5 at all.

Get a couple of 'ziggy zaggy' chants going and we're ready to rock!

Sing me up.  Sounds like a perfect pre-show place.  Look forward to meeting yall.

[color=#ff0000]... Where did you learn math?

Half hour?

Bar opens at 5. Doors open at 7. Band goes on at 8:30.

That's 3 hours & 15 minutes of drinking at the bar.[/color]

[Crispy]

I'd be pleased if everyone else is like Mr. Rhino and arrives at these shows at 8:15.

Thanks!
