It’s still listed as Union Square Sports Bar, but I want to change it. How many folks live within walking/driving distance of downtown San Francisco? A new bar called McTeague’s Saloon opened up on Polk between Bush and Sutter. It’s a couple blocks from my apartment so I’m working on becoming a regular there.

Other options include Green’s up on Polk and Green. Bayside on Union closed down. Any suggestions?

I live in Soma, but I’m not too familiar with sports bars in the area (I just moved out here). I’m flexible, but downtown around Union Square/Finance sounds like a good central location.

I live in Oakland but work in South City so if a monday night game comes up I’d be down to chill in SF with die hard niner fans…

Always a good Sunday afternoon spot, especially with the TVs facing that little patio. Plus, I can’t get enough of the newspaper clippings.

You guys probably know better – just any sports bar with good, cheap beer (as in good beer that doesn’t cost too much), good tvs, and a good crowd that’s centrally located.

Let’s do it – maybe get a poll going and make it our official hangout joint.

All I’ve been able to find is this -

Reynolds Street Café (Bar & Restaurant)
34 South Reynolds St.
Alexandria, VA
(703) 751-0830

And it came with this review “Apr 08 – More niner fans. Though total is only at 5 or so. Bigger bar. The dining area is also integrated into the bar area so all screens are visible from anywhere in the establishment. I frequent this bar alot during the season and am friendly with the owner and waitress’. As such niner games are usually on the big screens with HD \m/. Food is good; drinks are decent. More bang for your buck.”

Anyone else in the DC area?

The season starts really soon – maybe if this can be bumped prior to the opener, then we’ll figure out a venue.

Come on SF guys.

I’m gonna move this to the front page late tomorrow (Thursday) morning to see what’s up with people.

way to leave the option open for your younger (ahem) NN members guys.

Hi folks, long time first time, blah blah.

Kezar Pub really is the only true place for Niner fans to turn up in terms of being a bar, sadly everybody knows it and it gets swamped by fans of every NFL team, so you could potentially watch a game and get knuckleheads complaining the Steelers aren’t on. Great place though, and the memorabilia on the wall is a joy for any Niner fan to look at, particularly those who know the team didn’t start existing in 1981.

But alas I live in London now – any Niner fans out here? 1 pm starts are kind of impossible considering the game doesn’t end till past midnight on a Sunday, but at least one or two of our 10 am road games might end up on Sky, so any Niner fans up for meeting at the Sports Cafe or something?

but here’s a link that has a state-by-state guide to 49ers bars. I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the site, since I’ve never been to any of the places it recommends. I think I’m going to try Kevin St. James in NYC tomorrow, if I do I’ll give a review here.

BTW, can anyone recommend a way to find 49ers games online for those of us who live out of state and can’t afford NFL Sunday Ticket or a Slingbox?

so guys what’s the final choice for an official bar tomorrow?

So I’ll be watching the game from home while I do work, but I’ll catch the game two weeks from now with you guys.

For those who go to Aces, come back with reviews

So i just moved from CA to St Petersburg, FL and I would love to magically find a bar in the Tampa Bay Area (which they also call “the bay area” and it confuses me because all I can think of when I hear/read that is SF) that is a SF bar. Anyone know of any, by chance? There’s a big sports bar called Ferg’s that has pretty much EVERY game, so I’ve been watching them there, but would love to know if there’s a Sunday meeting place for Niner fans. I want to be with my people.

Over at the 49ers message board someone was looking for a 49ers bar in LA. They did mention a place in Santa Monica: San Francisco Saloon.

Any 49ers fans in the NW valley? Any places to recommend here?

I vote Fooch’s basement as our viewing spot.

Or, alternately, this Aces place.

Hmmm… not even my GPS know where that is.

Take a giantmikehawkandgo!!!

One option is to pick a different bar in San Francisco each week next season.

I’ve been to Aces a couple times now, and I really liked it. People were fun, bartenders were fun, a few TVs located around the bar. Can’t ask for more than that :D

I usually watch the game every sunday at Croxley ales on ave B btw 2nd and 3rd street, over 100 beers, 20 cent wings and the game is usually on 2, but always at least 1 tv.

Also I have heard good things about Pacific Standard in Brooklyn which is a CA bar but have never been. anyone?

…your great city one day, and we will get drunk

Shoot, I wish I saw this post ahead of time.
