Freak By Night Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hey Ottawa sports fans... anyone know of any bars in Ottawa that will be showing the Leafs/Sabres game tonight? Preferably in the market, centretown, or glebe areas.My brother, from T.O. has rolled into town for a visit and wants to see that game. Of course there's a Sens/Bruins game at the same time. Most places in Ottawa will have that game showing, but if anyone knows of a place that will have the other game on too, let me know. Thanks very much!

bradm Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) I think you might want to be at Maclaren's on Elgin, as they're listing that they're showing both games tonight. (Check the "This Week's Events" frame on the right side of their main page: they're showing about four different NHL games tonight.)Aloha,Brad Edited March 16, 2006 by Guest Dang.

bradm Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Just to let you know: I've only been there once (I think it was me, Booche, Douglas, Davey Boy, and CatPhish looking for a place to stay dry in during a bluesfest rainstorm), but the place is really nice: it's big, with a flock of big TVs all around the room. There are pool tables, and it's decked out in a "clean" fashion (as opposed to "crazy crap on the walls"). The menu's pretty decent (ISTR people liking the wings), and there was a good selection of beers on tap. The general consensus (esp. from Booche and Davey Boy) was that the place warranted more of their/our patronage.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks very much Brad! You are, once again, the go-to guy for info. MacLaren's it is. I've been there several times, but not since 2002 or so. I'd forgotten about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm providing informative and accurate answers to questions, and taking cheap pot-shots at my friends. That kind of thing transcends both geographic and topical boundaries. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have the game that you wanted on?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey Brad. We did not go after all, because MacLaren's is not "kid friendly". My brother called the place in the afternoon and asked if they would have the Leafs game on, the manager said yes, the Leafs game would be shown, but implied that it would relegated to a small TV in the corner, and that any Leafs fans would be shunned by the staff! (rightly so in my opinion!)My brother wanted to bring his two boys (age 7 and 11) but the dude said although kids are allowed, it's not recommended. Thanks anyway for your assistance in this matter.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 so diplomatic... allowed but not recommended. ie there will be drunken sens fans shouting obscenities in your and your kids' directionclassy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
