The Tavern on 12th and Lamar is pretty tight for games. They have a ton of TVs visible from everywhere, outside patio with TVs (for the smokers), pretty good food, cheap beers. One drawback: they don't have Lone Star on tap.

The Varsity Bar above Austin's Pizza on the Drag is pretty tight as well. Usually lots of Spurs fans, and it's not too crowded now that school is out.

[black/silver rook]

pluckers on s. lamar is also a good option.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'm down. Let's all decide on something, I'm there.

have they changed it in the last few years? after they reopened they had most of the TVs upstairs right over the bar :/ i miss the AIR CONDITIONED t-shirts from before the fire.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'd be fine with The Tavern

[Findog]

Buffalo Billiards has the biggest screens. Not the best tv, but the Draughthouse on Medical Arts is a pretty sweet place to watch a game. That's where I witnessed Game 5 of Mavericks-Jazz back in 2001. Austin is a Spurs ftown, but everybody was rooting for Dallas that night.

[O-Factor]

Im ready for the beat down the cavs, lebron and titty are going to recieve...

[ATRAIN]

The Tavern sounds good......how many of us are in...Ofactor and I are in.

The Draughthouse has one small 14" TV viewable from only about 1/3 of the bar. Don't get me wrong, it's my regular bar, and I actually spent more time there this semester than I did in class, but it's pretty shitty for watching games.

The Tavern has somewhere around 6 TVs downstairs including a very large screen, about 15 TVs upstairs with three flat panels above the bar and various others scattered throughout, and 7 TVs outside on the upstairs patio. I've been watching all of the cable games there throughout the playoffs and it's pretty phat. The way they have the TVs arranged is so that people sitting at a table don't have to rearrange the chairs so that they all face the same direction; from a regular sitting position at the table, you are guaranteed to see a TV.

Unfortunately, I will be in Dallas on Thursday (how much does that suck that I have to watch the Spurs in the Finals in fucking Dallas?!?!?!), but I will definitely show up at any subsequent gtg here in Austin, regardless of where it's at.

[Budkin]

I'm in Austin as well and can make some GTGs. I always hear that Ringers has the biggest crowd of Spurs fans though I've never been. I'm not sure I can make Game 1 but I'll try.

[J.T.]

Hey guys, I'm live in San Marcos but I'm practically in Austin every day for some reason or other. I've already got plans for the first game but let's keep this thread open for other games, I'm down for a GTG some time if I'm not working.

[ATXSPUR]

Not gonna be in Austin during the finals...however may I suggest pluckers to you guys they are always good.

I liked going to the Draughthouse because Cherilynn is fucking hawt as hell. I don't know if she still works there after the Meat Purveyors broke up. And yeah, I've been to the Tavern. I don't remember any large-screen tvs, but I do recall that tvs are peppered throughout the place so you can watch no matter where you are. Of course, I haven't lived in Austin for two years so things have perhaps changed.

If you can stand to deal with the frat douches, I'd go to Buffalo Billiards.

[ATRAIN]

Well so far I think its either between Ringers and The Tavern. Ringers is bigger and has a better place to park. Plus they have a TV in the bathroom ;). So between the 2 where would you want to go. PM and ill give you my number so we can meet up.

[leemajors]

ringers is def a nice setup, but nearly everyone in there is phony as hell. my wife closes on thurs so i wouldn't be able to make it, it's me and my daughter that night!

[ATRAIN]

Yeah thats why I think the Tavern is the best spot. Last spurs game I went to there was when they last won the title.... :) good times and it was rowdy.

[FreeMad Dan]

We should go to Perfect 10 or XTC :smokin

Her voice in the morning gets me through the day.

[Tigole Bitties]

The monitors at the Tavern should all be high-def, right?

[MrChug]

pluckers on s. lamar is also a good option.

Excellent option(BIG PLACE, basketball game doesn't work tho)...I'm in Austin on Thursday, I'm in!

wtf... it's at least an hour away to SA, factor in finding a parking spot, and walking to the arena -- that's barely enough time to catch the "Ya'll Ready For This?" intro.

[FreeMad Dan]

I can't believe there was nobody in Austin was down for this. :depressed

[ChumpDumper]

wtf... it's at least an hour away to SA, factor in finding a parking spot, and walking to the arena -- that's barely enough time to catch the "Ya'll Ready For This?" intro.I got my tickets at 6:35 and came in at the 10 minute mark in the 1st.
