It was the Shelbourne location.

Canuck friendly bar? I prefer iron but in a pinch good old steel will do.

There's no where here in particular where Flames fans usually go. Unless you organize a big group of people it will be hard to find a lot of Flames fans in one place.

Ceilis isn't a bad place to go on Granville St

I hope they never do . Its going to be interesting race in the west for the last wild card slot down the last stretch of games. I hope they miss it this year. Then some off the idiot Canuck fans around here can't say boo to me about the Flames missing out. I will enjoy watching the Canucks fall into the celler. I think after wendsday we will see a better picture as to what happens. Louango has finally moved on and we will see If Kessler actually wanted out. Their playoff hopes look bleak IMO . when fans around these parts consider mike santorelli as a superstar you know the canucks are where the flames were a few years back.

That does not surprise me. That is the worst one out of the three in Greater Victoria. I live approximately four kilometres away from that restaurant and I go to the Blanshard at Hillside location or the Langford location because of the overall superior service.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm in Vancouver for a few days and would love a recommendation of where I can go to watch some Flames games?

[Galakanokis]

Depends where you are but all the main ones have been mentioned. No Canucks game so it shouldn't be too tough to ask a place to put the game on. BPs is always an option as well.

Having nothing to do that night, I went in sporting my Flames hat, and sat with my wife and watched the game. When I was first approached, the waitress was very nice, got us our orders, and left. Canucks scored. I needed another, was brought my beer. Then the Flames started scoring. I don't remember the exact score, but we kicked the Canuck's ass something to the tune of 5-2 or something. Every time they scored, I didn't celebrate egregiously, but I did have a muffled yell with a small fist pump. I think by the time we were up 3-1, I glanced around for my waitress, and she was nowhere to be found. Everybody in the bar was giving my wife and I stank eye, and I shrugged it off. My waitress didn't once come back to our table, and I had to go to the bar and get her attention to pay my bill. not to mention she was an uber bitch when I did ask for it

Long story short, Vancouver fans take themselves way too seriously.

Hope you upper decked the toilet at least.

I used to watch them at Original Joes at Cambie and Broadway -

I guess you don't have time to grow a mullet - but it would certainly help.

And if your stepping out at night pack your platform shoes and your two piece polyester leisure suit.

Yes great place. Started to Work a few blocks from there and find myself there far too often.

Hey guys, trying to re-ignite this thread. Flames fan living in Vancouver, looking for a place to watch some of the games other than home. Is there an actual Flames Bar that anyone knows of? Owned by a Flames fan type thing that would be very pro-Flames for this series? Probably a tough ask, but as the cities are relatively close, I figured there'd be a fighting chance.

I'd really love to watch with some fellow flames fans, most of my buddies that support the Flaming C are spread out over the country.

Went to Calgary in Feb and took in the game vs Van on 02/14. Would love to do that again, but that was a $2000 4 day trip with the girlfriend. Can't afford another one of those unfortunately. (That was with $120 rt airfare too).

I've been looking for years, but have never found a dedicated Calgary bar. While Black Frog might be an Edmonton bar, you'll often find a handful of Flames fans. It's as close to neutral ground as you're going to find, now that the Sin Bin has closed. (Plus it's a super friendly place.)

I know a bunch of former Calgarians who are going to watch at the ANZA on Friday night. There's sometimes a few Calgary fans at 12 Kings too.

Best place to watch hockey in Vancouver right now is All Star wings. It's this gaudy sports bar with a 100 TVs everywhere. Even when the Canucks were on I could get at least a couple TVs on the Flames game. It'll be a great atmosphere for the playoffs, but its a crap place to go if you aren't watching sports.

For the love of all that is good and holy man, the FIRST rule about the ratio in Victoria is DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE RATIO IN VICTORIA!!!

And just in case you are still unclear... the SECOND rule about the ratio in Victoria is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE RATIO IN VICTORIA!!!!!

I'd be interested if some CPers could put something together to watch some games.
