Best bars to watch flames in 2015 playoffs

[CroFlames]

Still... a place called Flames Central doesn't show a Flames playoff game.

Seems wrong.

Flames Central is more concert central and they will be changing the name soon.

Well once the politburo builds us the People's Arena, our new Red Square will have a sweet new hang out, where every drink costs the same and we can watch all the playoff hockey we want with our comrades


Voting in the NDP is actually awesome because now we can make so many commie jokes!

Yeah it's down right pathetic that they can call themselves Flames Central. This also happens to me during the regular season so it's not due to a scheduling conflict.

It's the fact they make more money from being a concert venue than a pub. I mean they don't even serve beer on draft..

That said, it was still a very fun place to watch the game on Tuesday. It went from chairs being slammed to the ground after the disallowed goal, to loud 'Go Flames Go' chants near the end. That and Canadian Brewhouse have been great places to watch the games. Flames central also raffled off some cool prizes with proceeds going to charity, including a signed Gio jersey.

Never been to Flames Central outside of DJ shows.

Any good?

I simply cannot understand how a place can call themselves "Flames Central" and not be showing the Flames game in the second round of the playoffs. Brutal.

This post that was directly above yours sums it up nicely.

The service is horrible, the food isn't very good, they don't have draft beer, it stinks like a concert venue would. We literally had to chase our waitress all night and ended up just buying lukewarm beer from the bar.

Just one man's experience (well our whole group) but will never go back. Obviously this could be an exception to the norm, and it didn't help that it was a bad game. But note that I'm not very picky and generally enjoy most places.

Anyone been to LOCAL on 8th avenue to watch a game?

[Scornfire]

I despise bars who display the flames logo (Bootleggers I'm looking at you) and still refuse to show the games if there's a UFC fight or some other crap going on. Flames Central not showing a playoff game is beyond pathetic

Walked by there after game 6 against Vancouver and it looked like a pretty good time.
