Any suggestions for places to watch the game in DC area?

UberAlias : 8/24/2016 3:55 pm
I'll be in DC with the family this weekend and wanted to see the game. Any suggestions where to watch? I'll have my kids with me, so would have to be somewhere I could bring them.

Thanks
Which part of DC?

I'm a native of the region so I can probably point you somewhere.

Agreed. Very good spot if he's in NW on the Georgetown/downtown side, or SW and familiar with the metro.

Will be staying at Marriott Marquis. In the areas is ideal but would consider anywhere we could reasonably get to via metro or Uber.

I watched all games in the 90/91 season at Champions sports bar in Georgetown. It was a Giants bar back then, even in the heart of Redskins town.

I am pretty sure it's no longer in business.

This is closer and it's a Giants bar. This is where you should go.

Uber,

If you are looking to watch the game Saturday, it is NOT being shown live on national TV this Saturday. Be mindful of this.

It will be on tape delay on NFL Network. Your only option is through NFL Game Pass that you can order from NFL.com

Crap. I just assumed I could see somewhere that had a dish. So even sports bar wouldn't have it?

Most will not.

Here in Chicago where I ran our Giants group, what the bar and I have done the last few years for preseason is web stream the NFL Game Pass through the TVs and show the game that way.

Now, I don't know how many other places go to this extreme to show the games like we do, but I'm willing to bet the percentages are very low.

Thanks for the advice. Guess I'll have to call ahead.

I would call 51st state. They would go leaps and bounds to show the game.
I'll give it a try
