Buckeye Bars in Cleveland?

[Yertle]

Unfortunately, my wife is recovering from minor surgery, so my three kids are my sole responsibility during The Game. Luckily, the youngest will sleep most of the time, and the older two are really well behaved.

Anyways, since I won't have the opportunity to party during the game, I'm itching to get out the night before. My mom will be in town to watch the kids, so all I need is a place to go. Anyone know of any good places to go in the Cleveland area to party with Buckeye fans on Friday?

Try the Great Lakes Brewing Company - they always play the games on Saturdays (on plasma TV's in the cellar bar!) I imagine that you'll find some Buckeye fans there on Friday night as well.

Excellent! And I love Great Lakes beer!!!

I didn't know GL showed buckeyes games. Awesome. I should try that.

How crowded does it get? What time should I get there to be before the crowd?

"Dive Bar" on W. 6th under Liquid
Merry Art's in Lakewood on Detroit
Blind Pig on W. 6th is pob a safe bet
Old Angel in Ohio City carries the game san usually has flags outside, etc

Are you serious??? It's Cleveland, not Cincinnati!!!!!!! The Game will be on every TV in every Bar.

BW3 on Mayfield Road.
I'll be the goofy-looking goof wearing something that indicates that I'm rooting for the good guys.

 

[Holy Buckeye!]

True

On the Friday night before the game? Sweet.

Actually, I took LBJ's advice and went to Great Lakes.
