Best bars to watch flames in 2015 playoffs

[flamesrule_kipper34]

Flames' Central, Roosevelt, Local, Joey's, National...you can make reservations at ALL of these locations...which is what I did for the venues I wanted, other than Local they are all for game time, I did this for game 1, 2, 5 and 7 (of course if required).

I'm going to be watching game 1 at the Swine & Sow, probably.

I work in the building and have never been to the S&S after it turns into a bar. How big are the screens?

I was there a few times in February, albeit not during games. Still lots of sports on the screens, and Flames game promos advertised on the tables and in the menus.

Its a good pub to watch the games, plenty of TV's around. Im sure they would be playing audio.

I'm curious about the Garage in Eau Claire, my work does Christmas parties there and they have tons of TV's - seems like a good place to watch the game.

I watch it in the tv section at best buy.

Just a heads up, the Pig and Duke on 12th and 12th is a Canucks bar. I absolutely love the bar, but it might be one to avoid for this series.

There are people who are trying to stay sober or don't drink at all due to their religion. Quite offensive posts in this thread.

Think of the Children.

In the winter they advertised Canuck specials, but recently those were removed from the blackboard.

Honestly I've only been there twice, both times for a playoff pool draft (same thing this time). I didn't have any trouble watching two games last year. IIRC the food is pretty decent.

I've always liked Tiperrary's at the corner of 16th Ave and 19th Street NW. It has easy access to the train at Lion's Park. In the past they have had the audio on for Flames games but they have also previously had two different feeds for their tvs and they have out of sync for some reason.

On the West side Shillelaghs Pub (17th Ave and Sirrocco) is a good spot to watch.

The Pint on 17th

Any suggestions in Toronto? I'm staying near Ryerson for the next week, and want to catch the games while I'm here (super annoyed I'm missing playoffs IN Calgary...)

[GranteedEV]

The Thirsty Turtle is another good sports bar to hit up in the SW (near signal hill)

[CroFlames]

What about pre-game before going to the Dome? I haven't lived in CGY in a while so I'm not sure what to do pre-game

[skudr248]

FYI Everybody.

Just called Flames Central and they're fully booked Wednesday + Friday. Won't take reservations till Sundays game.

In past years there has been a beer garden right outside the Dome. Some limited tailgating too IIRC.
