Niners Nation sports bar?
FOOCH'S NOTE 4/24 3:30PM: During the season we had this thread set up for people to find sports bars in San Francisco, and also anywhere you might be. I know that a lot of folks like to watch the draft at a sports bar so let's fire this back up. I'll be setting up my draft headquarters at my apartment but don't let that stop the rest of you from joining wjackalope in getting a bit sloppy for the draft! I'll link to this as well in the open threads tomorrow.
EDITOR'S NOTE 9/4 10:25AM: This was originally posted a week and a half ago. As we're a community of 49ers fans, it'd be pretty cool to get people together at specific locations for 49ers action. I've posted a link to this FanPost on the left side of the front page so people will always be able to check it for updates on bars to visit. I'll make srue and keep the comments open so people can keep posting. And every so often I'll promote it back to the top of the front page to keep it fresh in people's minds.
As I said before, consider it the classifieds for finding a good 49ers bar in your area of the Bay Area or anywhere else in the country or world.
______________________________
So I figure since there's a good collection of die-hard Niners fans here, there should be an official sports bar that the fans go to watch games at. I remember there was one before and maybe it's still the official NN bar, but some updates on that would be great.
All I know is it'd be great to hang out at a sports bar with Niners fans since most of my friends are lame and like other teams, don't watch the NFL, or root for whatever team is doing well.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors.

Sports Bar
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?

McTeague's...
I live in the north bay, but a close friend of mine lives right near this place so I’m bound to make it there some Sunday after a late Saturday night in the city… but regardless, I’d love to watch the game with some other die hard fans — all of my friends also like other teams or don’t follow football.

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.

This sounds great...
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…

When the 49ers play the Giants it could get ugly as they’re an NYC sports bar.

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

Good options
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.

I'm in Washington, D.C. right now
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?

regular season
In response to this comment and the one below, I’m going to create a permanent link to this Fan Post on the top left side of the front page but will definitely move it back up to the top (and move it to the front page on occasion). We haven’t had this kind of post in the past and I definitely think it’s important.

I was in Seattle for three years. I went to Spitfire in Belltown. There wasn’t a large number of Niner fans but I could always get the game on.
BTW, any Niners fans in the Portland area?

Any ideas for events for everybody? When I was in college I worked at the ESPNZone in Washington, DC and later in Las Vegas. They have a bar area but also a restaurant area. Maybe we could find that sort of option where alcohol is available but minors can get in

Well..
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?

This probably doesn't help the S.F. fans
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?

Aces I think
It sounds like people are going to try for Aces…although I’m guessing Bitter Fan from London probably won’t be making it.
Not sure if I’ll be able to make it. If I do I’ll be in a red Montana jersey with a red 49ers cap.

Tampa Bay Area??
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.

I vote Fooch’s basement as our viewing spot.
Or, alternately, this Aces place.
I have no new information on that at this time.

Viewing spot
I’d go with Ace’s but due to an ex-girlfriend that won’t be possible. She got Ace’s in the break-up. There’s another place a couple blocks from there on Polk Street called McTeague’s Saloon. That’s my nomination, although Green’s and Union Square Sports Bar are two other options.

I have a buddy named Stephen who is a barback there…irish guy…usually plastered…I’ve never been there for football but as far as a drinking spot goes, it’s not bad.
As far as after the game, I’d rec Fish Bowl on Pine & Divis…strong drinks and it’s stumbling distance home for me (about 50 feet from my house).

I’d be down with that…Kezar is always a solid place to go too, and if the Steelers are on the schedule next year, we’d have to roll deep to Shanghai Kelly’s.

Kelly's
It’s hard to roll deep there considering how small it is. Just have to get there early I suppose. We’ll develop a list in the offseason and set a schedule if people are down for it.
Also, we get the AFC South next year, so no Steelers.

The only 49ers bar I know of is out by the Santa Fe. It’s in the parking lot of the movie theatre out that way on the 95. I think it’s called ‘Old Mining Town’ or something like that.
