Anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area want to watch the World Cup?

[Rito 28]

The match is the UK vs. the US, so it should be interesting. My British better half and I are getting together with another UK/US couple and going to a yet-to-be-decided English Pub to watch the game. If you're interested, comment or PM me!

there is a pub in Knob Hill (ohh err) called The Chelsea that might be worth checking out

Uk?

Are you sure?

I'm jealous you have another UK/US couple to hang out with

I don't know much about football - I got my information from here. It's England rather than UK, if that's what you mean.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll scope it out. It's useful to have some recommendations - some pubs here bill themselves as "British" or "Irish," but once inside it's just a regular ol' American football sports bar.

I wish we had a UK/US couple nearby too!! We did find a US/Canadian couple that are pretty cool and have had BBQs with them.

We're near SLC and always up for a drink if anyone is near. We haven't tried many of the Irish/British places around here, but will as soon as he starts working and have more cash to spend.

I have started calling around to 'pubs' here to see if they will have the game on. ABC at noon MST?

BTW UK includes Scotland. So they may be both supporting the same team.

Its sad that Ace Pub is no more! That was a true cider pub that also carried random things like abbot ale etc.

What about the Pig and Whistle?

Isn't the Pig and Whistle in Vancouver, BC? I walked past some bar with that kind of name in Vancouver just as a patty wagon was pulling up - going the wrong way on a one way street! Then a bunch of cops went running in to break up a brawl. If I hadn't of been underage I probably would have been there participating in the melee.

It will be great to have the Welsh and Scots cheering for us...

That little misunderstanding with the small Australian/American actor is all forgotten now.

And as for Owain Glyndŵr - well we are all friends now eh ?

Crazy you should mention that - this is the pub we decided on yesterday! I talked with the owners on the phone. They were definitely British (always a plus) and have a big screen for the game. We'll be there starting at 10am if anyone wants to drop by!

What brand of Brit ? It does matter you know...

The Scots and Welsh hate us Saxons and they spit in our beer if they own the pub

The local pub/movie theater is showing the game. It's still up in the air whether we will go there or to another pub..
