I am in the Miramar neighborhood near Condado. Love this place. There have got to be some Giants fans around here. lol



The closest thing you will find

Is either the Chilies in Condado, or Tiajuanas bar and grill. Both will have the game on, but neither is a Giants bar. You won’t find one there.
You could get

Lucky and find some Giants fans but more likely to find Dallas fans.
Let me know how it goes

I’ve been down there every year for the past 17 years the week after Christmas. It’s always been an afternoon game. It’s always a chore just to get the game. Monday night football should be a much different crowd. I’m curious how it goes.

I am scheduled to head down there for a conference next month. Are there any issues remaining from Fiona?

I worked in PR on and off as a result of the PR bond crisis from approx 2013-2019. The advice here is terrible. That said, I'd call everywhere as im not sure how the power situation is. I heard the north is pretty good now so you should be ok.

Brickhaus - downtown san juan. Owned by a new yorker. I would call and confirm they're open/will have game but it used to be the spot for NY sports

In Condado, Waiter's always had games on and usually had some giants fans. Another spot in Condado is Prime time. Pretty much every place on Ashford between the La Concha and the Marriott will have the game on.

Also would check out La Placita - there are a ton of bars around there and i am sure the game will be on. Not sure if there will be a "giants bar" there though. Here's one spot that usually (Taberna los vazquez) had games on. If you haven't been to la placate you should check it out before you leave.

Please dont go to chilis.

and most likely the lobby bar will have the game on.
How's the power there...

I have a family member in the coast guard there who is not easy to contact. I've been worried a bit with the storm, news makes it sound not very good there. Can you advise?

This is all fine, and I don’t think finding the game on a Monday night will be difficult. There won’t be a Giants bar however. If it wasn’t a Monday night game it’s more difficult than you would think to find the game. Often, the giants game is considered local and not picked up by the satellites. Only people with Livery cable get the local fox channel, so everyone else doesn’t get it. I’ve had to go to bars only to catch the Redzone for Giants.

Downtown San Juan has been operational for several days. Traffic lights are still being turned on. I think some poor neighborhoods are still on generator power.

I would not expect problems unless you are in a remote area.

OntheRoad : 9/26/2022 4:27 pm : link

Thank you. I will look at some of those options.

Some power is still off in San Juan. Traffic lights and poor neighborhoods have been slow to come back. But most businesse and downtown areas of San Juan have been operational for 4-5 days.
Isn't the power out in most of PR right now?
