Td, pumped to see you guys! I will be with the crew from that show as well, and an MMJ virgin! Should be a great time!
oh I wanted to add that there ARE some great spots near the venue and are not sketchy. I'm part of a group of nyc folks (that go see shows alot) and people have been going up to that venue pretty often (I've been once) and given good feedback. Let me see if i can't dig up some info.
Just copying from some old emails ..... Q seems to be the favorite, but looking @ the website it seems like it might be on the small side / not a good choice for our large group. Maybe Wild Wings is the best option, I just wanted to give supporting a local business a shot based on reviews from people I know.

I would love to do something local! BWW is a chain, and it kind of ruins the feel of being in a unique place.
My only goal is that where ever we choose, it is within walking distance from the venue. This way, people don't have to rush to find a cab before the show. brOOke, if you have been to the theater, and know a good spot, by all means lets do it! I don't know how many people will show to the pre-game. If it gets too big, BWW is always on the table.

In, provided that we don't get too distracted with butt chugging at the marriott.
Bar taco is the best move, or perhaps the Willett house

i think she's right, otherwise i'd say bar taco all the way. perhaps we can see how many of us this is going to be and ask bar taco if they could adequately accommodate us. buffalo wild wings is probably the safest option unfortunately.
the willett house is probably too formal for us. a bunch of butt chugging over-enthused fans surrounded by folks trying to respectably eat their $40 entree's probably won't work as well as we'd like it to :grin: :grin:
There are some good choices. If we're a big crowd then Wild Wings might be easiest. Stella's is good, but small. Bar Taco also has a lively bar, but it can get crowded and noisy.

This is probably the only time Ill ever say this, but I'd prefer BWW. The 29th is UL/UK basketball game day. Biggest sporting event of the year for me (and most of the state of KY). Ill be watching that game one way or another.

Guys... From the looks of this, we are going to be near 30 peeps when all is said and done. It looks like BWW makes this most sense... Please speak now if there is another place that is close by that can accommodate our group. If not, I will call there in the next couple of days to see if there is any way we can reserve some tables. I know that this is generally not possible at chains, but with a group our size they might be able to make an exception.
maybe the best option would be just to get some 40's and kick it in front of the Cap. Maybe there is a good stoop near the venue?

This would be amazing! I would much rather tailgate. The only thing is, I think most people will be hitting the train since it is a super easy way to get to PC. So if we don't have cars, and the lot is not tied to the venue in anyway, I think a crowd of jacket fans slinging 40's in an empty lot could draw the wrong sort of attention... Probably get kicked out for loitering in under an hour.

I'm driving and the venue says the parking is open to concert goers. I think we should have a tailgating area right next to the venue...then we can just get in line before the doors open.
Some people really want to watch that basketball game and it will probably be cold. I don't mind spending some time outdoors, but I want to be indoors. I was fine with BWW even though I hate their food.
i'm down with BWW as well as tailgating. I hope to get up there via train around lunch time / early afternoon and will need to eat so some time will be spent indoors at some sort of bar/restaurant situation .. but i'm not above brown-bagging a bottle of bourbon for the last hour or so if it's not inhumanly cold.
I agree with Br00ke - warm bar, then a cold hour-ish outside venue to see the scene preferred.
BWW is a soul sucking chain - we can take over the bar at bar taco and I'm sure that those who want to sit and eat will find a table to grub at. I'm also sure there will be different waves of peeps rolling in, as many will be a little late after cleaning up their undies @ the Marriott following pre show chugs

That sounds good...Bartaco is a pretty cool place (at least the one in West Hartford is).

Are we talking about playing 40 Hands? Been a long time since we used to kick off every Friday night in college with that one.
So... I think it is quite apparent that nobody wants' to do a chain if they don't have to, but we have a couple of things to consider:
1. The place needs to be big enough. We are going to have 30+ people and we are going to need to have a defined space for our group. The point of the MMJ pregame is so that we can drink beers and talk jacket with other fans. If we end up in a bar that is too packed, it may be difficult to organize the group in a way that people will really get to meet one another.
2. The place needs to be within walking distance to the venue. We don't need people scrambling for cabs at show time. I think the idea on the table is: hang out in a bar for a few hours, then grab some 40's and tailgate in front of the venue. The closer we are, the easier this will be.
3. There needs to be t.v's. Apparently, a number of people are going to be watching the Kentucky game during the MMJ hang.
I have never been to Bar Taco so as long as all of these things can be accomplished, I would much rather not end up a BWW. But if not, we may need to suck it up and meet there. At the end of the day, it is all about us. We will bring the party. It doesn't matter which venue we choose! :thumbsup:
Thoughts?
Jdbartender: can I nominate you to call bar taco and ask if they can hold tables starting around 4pm? We can tell them that we'll be out of there by 7:30 at the latest.
First round on me

That's not a bad idea... We can start there and if it gets too big, we could always move.
I was thinking 3 p.m. if that works... Do you know if it is within walking distance, and do they have T.V.s for the people that want to watch the KY game?

Hey everyone!
So it looks like we are going to have a great turn out for our pre-game!
We have upwards of 40 confirmations at this point, and more people are sure to trickle in as the event gets closer..
So with that being said, let's nail down a location!
Right now it looks like we are debating between Bar Taco and Buffalo Wild Wings.
I think most people would like to avoid BWW if we can, since it's your typical chain and the food is mediocre at best. However, it is right down the street and will be able to accommodate a group of our size
So the question is: Who has been to Bar Taco in Port Chester? Is it within walking distance to the venue? Can it handle 40 or so Jacket fans? Do they have T.V.s for those that want to watch the KY game?
If we can do Bar Taco I think most people would prefer it, however I just want to make sure it makes sense for our group. Any insight is appreciated!
Then once we staple down the venue, I will make some calls to see if there is anything either bar can do to accommodate our party!
Thanks guy!

Ok guys... Now that we have 40 people, I think the size of the venue is really going to make a difference.
Unless anyone can verify that they have been to Bar Taco, it's big enough to handle our group, they have T.V.s for those that want to watch the KY game, and that it is within walking distance from the venue - it looks like Buffalo Wild Wings is our best bet.
I am going to call there today to see if there is anyway we can reserve some tables.
Please speak now if there is another option that accommodates our needs that I should look into.
Look forward to seeing everyone! :cheesy:

Count me in as well guys. I ended up getting tix for Thursday night on the floor! I will be there for all three nights! Buffalo Wild Wings looks like the best spot to me. Just a few blocks from the venue. I'll be taking Metro North each day from the city.
UPDATE:
I just contacted BWW, they are going to have the manager get back to me about reserving some tables, but from the sounds of it, it doesn't sound like it is going to be a problem
I also called Bar Taco. Apparently they are only 2 blocks away, and they claim that they can handle 40 people no problem. The only issue is, they don't have T.V's.
They occasionally will take out a projector, but the girl on the phone sounded iffy regarding whether or not she would be willing to do that for us,,,
Soooo. How important are the T.Vs? If they are not that important, Bar Taco could be the better option.
Thoughts?
It really doesn't matter one way or the other to me. BWW is a great place to watch sports, but honestly it can be a little distracting as you have like 10 games on at once so the sound with all of the other people talking can make it difficult if you are just trying to hang out. The beer selection is decent for a chain resturant, but I wouldn't expect to find many out of the ordinary brews on tap from our experiences with it.
my $.02:
this may sound lame, but I think if you're going to travel and have this out-of-town experience, then go with the local place. It's probably more authentic, has to be more distinctly Port Chester than BWW since all BWWs are the EXACT same.
I'm a HUGE sports fan, but can put that aside to have a cooler overall experience and put $ in the small business person's hands. Plus Bar Taco just looks like a really cool spot.
FINAL UPDATE:
So after much thought, discussion, debate, and consideration: it looks like Bar Taco is going to be the location of our pre-game.
As I posted above, I spoke to the manager yesterday afternoon and she told me that they won't have a problem accommodating a group of our size and that the bar is about 3 city blocks from the venue.
Also, from sounds of it; the food and atmosphere are good, and we will have a better over all experience at Bar Taco than we would at Buffalo Wild Wings.
In the event that Bar Taco gets too packed, we can always pick up shop, grab some 40's, and hang in front of the venue until show time.
So with all that being said, here are the final deetz for the pre-game. I will also post this information on the first page of the thread.

FINAL UPDATE:
So after much thought, discussion, debate, and consideration: it looks like Bar Taco is going to be the location of our pre-game.
As I posted above, I spoke to the manager yesterday afternoon and she told me that they won't have a problem accommodating a group of our size and that the bar is about 3 city blocks from the venue.
Also, from sounds of it; the food and atmosphere are good, and we will have a better over all experience at Bar Taco than we would at Buffalo Wild Wings.
In the event that Bar Taco gets too packed, we can always pick up shop, grab some 40's, and hang in front of the venue until show time.
So with all that being said, here are the final deetz for the pre-game. I will also post this information on the first page of the thread.

Looking forward to seeing all of you guys as well!
So they don't have a t.v. - however they said that they do have a projector that they take out for football games. The lady I spoke to made it sound like they might be willing to do that for our party - but no promises on that front.
Sorry about the t.v. situation. I tried to gauge the importance of the t.v.s through this thread but only got few responses one way or another. Ultimately, I think the group as a whole will be happier at Bar Taco than at BWW.

Good to know! I think since the venue has been discussed, debated, and finally posted to a number of different message boards as bar taco - we should start the hang there. If for some reason it doesn't work out, we can always pick up and move. Maybe we hit the pizza joint right before the show either way if it is super close!

I live in Westchester and put my two cents in a few weeks back. Bar Taco is a great place with a good vibe. The food isn't that expensive, but the drinks are. A margarita pitcher is close to 50 dollars, so be prepared.
As mentioned BWW is the same everywhere, but it might be a better space for such a large crowd, especially if you don't want to spend 50-100 on pre-game. If you want to get some cheap good local grub try Q or the mexican place across the street from the venue. I haven't been to Coals, but I've heard good things. It's a second location for them, the other one is in the city.

I hear you man, and thanks for the input! But where we are at right now, I still think it makes sense to start at Bar Taco since we finally made a decision after a couple weeks of discussion, and the meeting spot has already been posted to a couple of different boards. I don't want to keep changing it, and than have people be confused and not be able to show. We always have the option of leaving and going elsewhere if it doesn't work out.

I had a brain fart and added my name to this Roll Call upthread even though I am only going to PC on December 27 and 28. I have now updated the Roll Call to be accurate.
Does anyone want to meet up before the shows on the 27th or 28th? I'm thinking lunch on the 27th because I want to line up early to get the rail. But I'd be happy to meet up for an early dinner on the 28th.

Message me, Tired Eyes. I'm around for all three amazing days & nights of this one.
Is there any sort of gathering in the works for Thursday's show? Just a casual beer somewhere??

I am pleased to announce COAL'S PIZZA (http://www.coalspizza.com/ (http://www.coalspizza.com/)) will be treating all MMJ lovers to $1 off all SIXPOINT BREWERY beers before/after all 3 shows. This joint is super close to the venue. I'll be sure to be hanging there each night. This is also a perfect "one more beer" spot post-BarTaco superparty on Saturday.
I'll post once I know what will be on tap, they'll have 3-4 of our 16oz cans featured :)
