LondonBrown Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You live in NYC? Why the hell would you buy a round trip ticket? NYC - yuck. I live in London. I need to fly to NYC first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Me again..... I am thinking of leaving the Cavs game out. I don't even like basketball and am wondering if there's a good bar to watch the Buckeyes game or college football on the Saturday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Where do you watch the games in London? I'm typically doing something with the OH sunday nights, but it would be good to know if there's some good place to go watch with fellow browns fans.

LondonBrown Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Only at home with gamepass. I am thinking of going to the Hippodrome for the Thursday night Bengals game though as I am off work the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'd love to do that but unfortunately I work office hours, so can't really do a 1am-4am game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah it's a one off for me too. Be good to meet up for a playoff game if that situation ever arises haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are downtown there are many, many places you can watch a game. East 4th St. is like nothing now but sports bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I thought the store would be by the stadium? Any of you around for drinks on Saturday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I thought the store would be by the stadium? Any of you around for drinks on Saturday night? The CLE clothing store is downtown on East 4th. So if you're in that area (you most likely will be) then you can stop there on Saturday. I have a couple friends that work at The Tap House, I'm not sure if they'll be on shift Saturday night. I might come up for the Bucks game but that all depends.

tiamat63 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ah in England the clothing stores are connected to the soccer stadiums I assumed wrongly it would be the same Well the Stadium does have their own pro shops. This is a bit different. Its not Browns exclusive. They have Brownies gear, Tribe, Cavs, 6th city. Basically anything Cleveland. Some good tee shirt ideas, hoodies, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 gotta be in town by now. Not long now Mik I am all booked in the Hilton Double Tree, a 10min walk from Downtown but at this stage it was much cheaper than anywhere else. £265 on one site but I found it for £140 on another. Not sure how that works So I will be in town the weekend of November 15th, I am told Winking Lizard' would be a good spot for Saturday night to watch the Buckeye game? Do many people go out to watch the Buckeyes downtown or will the Cavs game be on instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Ohio and the Cleveland area is a bastion of Buckeye support. Both games will be on. The lizard is an alright spot. Drinks are a bit, pricey IMHO.

tiamat63 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Good point my man, how much am I looking it for a beer in most places? Are you looking for just run of the mill domestic or some craft brews? Keep in mind we have Great Lakes, Willoughby Brew Co, Nano, and a few other small spots around. Cleveland also got their own Hofbrauhaus recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind trying some local brews but mainly interested in the place itself. I go to Germany every year for the beer so will leave that place out this time.

Canton Mike Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 A place I might mention is The Rail in North Olmstead, Akron, & Canton. In addition to bottled beer, they have 24 Ohio Craft Beers on tap & samples are free. Their burgers are excellent & all the beef, bacon & other food (I'm pretty sure) is Ohio sourced. TVs for watching games too. Wherever you end up, one brewery's beers I like is Thirsty Dog from Akron although most popular is probably Great Lakes. All in all, lots to see & do!

The Rail slipped my mind. I friend of mine moved to North Olmstead and took us there after we helped him move. All around great place. Didn't have a burger but heard great things.

There has been a Hofbrau house in Cleveland for eons. I used to go there when I was in law school in the 70s. On upper e.55th. It was not a chain.

hoorta Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I wouldn't mind trying some local brews but mainly interested in the place itself. I go to Germany every year for the beer so will leave that place out this time. The Winking Lizard Downtown is way OK if you want sort of a Pub atmosphere. And don't sell the local Brew Great Lakes short. In fact- I'd even recommend the short cab ride over to West 25th to check the place out. They've won a ton of national and international awards for their beers. Though I hate to report our other Brits Gareth and Howie find the Edmund Fitzgerald porter, and Blackout Stout "too sweet". Well. if you only favor Guiness- I suppose so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Ive made it to NYC so barring an internal disaster I shall be in Cleveland on Saturday. Main thing I've noticed is your bar staff and waiters/waitresses are so much nicer than back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
