Bobcat bars

Post by **SonomaCat** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 11:38 am

The conversations about meeting up at bars for games got me thinking about some additional ways that we could possibly expand the reach of our site in order to bring more Bobcat fans on board and focus the fanbase further around the state.

I'd love to pull together a list of sports bars (at least one in every major town/city, but any small town bars would be great as well) that you know to be "Bobcat" bars, or even just big into college sports without any bias towards any particular team. Once we have this list, we may be able to do some joint marketing with them, and possibly provide it as "the place" in that town for bobcatnation.com folks to get together to take in the game.

If you know of a bar that would fit in on this list, please email me the info at brad@bobcatnation.com or post it here.

I have a feeling that Bricks is going to be at the top of the list.

Thanks!

EDIT: If you could pass along as much contact info about the bar as possible (website, owner's name, phone number, email address, etc.), it would be greatly appreciated.

Great idea- I am new out here in Spokane, but Heros and Legends is a great place. Is anyone else living in Spokane, or at least know where they already televise CAT games.

I won't believe I'm in a Bobcat Bar until I see the Fizzlie logo in the urinals and toilets, their schedules or coaches on the dartboards, signs directing you to wipe your feet of their logo and other interesting insults as one would find in a North Campus section of Athens, Georgia

All you cats think about is drinking.

I've been blocked.

Unfortunately there are no real 'Bobcat' bars in Billings that have enough guts to solely put out there support for the Bobcats (At least that I know of .. Billings Hotel and Convention center bar might be only one). When I have tried to plan some functions/groups for Bobcat fans the conversation has always started with "Will it conflict with the Griz game?". However, the 2 best bars in Billings I think that would welcome Bobcat fans as their own would be the Grandstand Sports bar on Grand Avenue and the Billings Hotel and Convention Center bar (although there are not very many TV"s in there and they are small). They need to get a projection screen in there and show Bobcat games. But anyway, there are no real bars (such as the Brick) that solely support just the Bobcats as I guess they don't want to lose their Grizzlie customers

BAC: This is a GREAT thread!!! Unfortunately, being in the Sacramento, CA. area, there are not a whole lot of bobcat fans to cheer with on Saturday afternoons. ( just a bunch of Sac State alum that didn't even realize that they still have a football team ) If there are any "valley" bocats out there that know of a watering hole that would carry an MSU feed, please let me know....

as I posted in the other thread, I think Brooklyn's by the Pepsi Center would be the best bet for Denver since they carry the cat-frizz party every year. I would imagine the satellite party host bars are the best way to start for us out of staters.

Someone is going to have to help me with the name of the bar, but when I lived in Sac. 3 years ago I went to a bar for the Cat/Griz game that was located in the north east part of town. I want to say it was the Players sports bar. There were about 5-10 cat fans at that game, and the next week they found the Playoff game and put it on one of the T.V.'s

Sorry for not giving more details but it was a long time ago, and I am trying to forget the whole Cali experience.

Cardiac and all other Billings folks -- do you happen to know of any sports bars in Billings that, if not already Bobcat bars, are somewhat Cat/Griz agnostic and might be open to being a Bobcat bar?

It sounds like there's no place with a rep for being THE Bobcat place in Billings. If one bar wanted to claim that title, they could certainly draw A LOT of consistent business on Bobcat game days. Obviously, we here at Bobcatnation.com would be happy to pimp for them if it would mean getting a good meeting place for everybody in Billings.

You might want to try calling the Press Box in Missoula; they might set something up for you. I'm sure they'd take real good care of you fine people.

If there is a good spot here in Helena where Cat fans can go, I would be game.

Was that supposed to be smack or something?

Guess I better respond with something equally clever: you suck.

I am with you on this one, it would be nice to have a place all bobcats can hangout. Which bar would be the best?

canyoncat · Post by **canyoncat** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 3:25 pm

I have heard Moose Magoos or Bullwinkles might be the best, but little in the way of T.V's. I usually hang out at the Mother Lode, but that is where a lot of griz fans hang out. Club 77 used to be very good, but that place had to close up. Not sure where besides Bullwinkles.

Thanks for the info...I am sure to be at one of those places, since I only have satellite tv..we should have a "main" bobcat bar in Helena!!\:D/ $\:D/$
