MGoEvents: Gamewatching Parties for BTT in Ann Arbor and New York City
As mentioned yesterday, we’ve got places for you to watch the Big Ten Tournament if you’re in/around Ann Arbor or New York.
If you’re in Ann Arbor tomorrow…
As I mentioned yesterday, so long as Michigan survives Iowa, we’re going to get together TOMORROW at 2:30 at Wolverine Brewing for our first MGo-gamewatch party. Sponsor Nick Hopwood of Peak Wealth Management offered to cover the first couple rounds and some food for our tables.
Please let us know if you’re coming so we can get a halfway decent count (if we run out of space signups get first priority: https://goo.gl/forms/t0F28mhfnYRRbKPh2. We’ve got about 35 people signed up so far.
Brian at least will be there to represent us—if they let me out of the hospital (and my wife of a recently hospitalized man allows it) I’ll try to be there too.

If you’re in New York anytime during the BTT…
Get ye to pub of friend of the blog, Dewey’s Pub
MGoReaders have built a meeting ground near Madison Square Garden at this pub owned by regular MGoBlog reader Kevin Blauch.
Dewey’s Pub, on West 30th Street, is running March Madness specials all month ($30 domestic buckets $35 import and $120 case specials) along with happy hour specials ($5 bud light, sam adams and laganitas, $6 well drinks).
If you show up in M gear and/or tell the manager you’re an MGoBlog reader, he’ll give you a free Bud Light as well. If you can’t make any BTT games, or you want to catch the end of one after work, head over to Dewey’s. Those of you going to the game should go by afterwards to celebrate/commiserate.
If you show up in M gear and/or tell the manager you’re an MGoBlog reader, he’ll give you a free Bud Light as well.
So it's best not to share your school affiliation?
I have a code in my life. Never complain about free (cold) beer.
In that case, you can't complain about free cold water!
.....is a special? I'd hate to see the "regular" price! I live in Jacksonville, FL and can get a domestic bucket at a tiki bar in St. Augustine along a major waterway (and spitting distance from the Atlantic Ocean) for about $12.....while I watch the dolphins swim by. I think that I'll stick with that plan.
Actually, I'm "working from home" this afternoon so that I can watch from the comfortable confines of my house.
The "Midtown markup" is in effect around the Garden. Prices in certain parts of the city are a little out of whack with others...midtown and down the west side all the way to the financial district could have a happy hours with $6-7 pints and you'd take that all the way to the bank becuause they could be $9 otherwise. Downtown on the east side or in Brooklyn it might be $4-5 beers and $6 wells at happy hour prices. After 8pm who knows, depends on the bar.
I also shudder at the amount of rent he must pay. I know what rents are uptown for similar businesses/spaces but Midtown is a beast in its own.
Like where your head's at, Seth. First move out of the hospital --> straight to the bar!
I'll be there! GO BLUE!
NYC is expensive, but anything in midtown is doubley so.
A decent pint in...
Most of the US: $4-5
Most of NYC: $6-7
Midtown NYC: $9+
in the Western UP, we could meet at Stubb's Bar in Ontonagon (500 River Street) to watch the game on the big screen in the back room. Drinking in the afternoon is practically an Olympic sport up here, so I'm sure the place will be open, but be forewarned: if you ask the barkeep for a "decent pint," he's likely to throw you out on your ass. Pabst Blue Ribbon and Bud Light are on tap. There also might be jello shots left over from the Super Bowl party.
how was it?
You guys had to pool some money to challenge one to actually drink it. There's almost always "that guy" in every idiot group of friends. Like Spaulding from Caddy Shack.
