I love the Olympics. They’re campy and absurd, and they’re a glimpse into the superhuman race breeding amongst us. Synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics, anyone? What about that one that involves running, swimming, fencing, riding a horse, and shooting a gun? I call that one “Survival”.
The London 2012 Olympics start this Friday. So which local bars can we watch them in? Tell me, and I’ll compile a list. Ready, set, go! USA!
Pretty sure the 500 and Kilowatt will show it.
Someone needs to throw an Olympic party. You can come dressed as an athlete from your favorite event, or just draped in the flag from your favorite country.
dalva will show it on our big screen, if it’s on regular tv. (not cable)
Shouldn’t there be a bar in the Castro doing the swim events?
Shotwell’s!
but that bar sucks.
They do have some mighty tasty brews though
if its nice out peeps+i might do it like the world cup and head to civic ctr. then head to a bar after xxo

This was very servicey. Thanks! I love the Olympics, too. Even random sports I have no previous enthusiasm for somehow become suddenly interesting.
giordano bros will.
I’ve been calling around to see who’s showing the US women’s soccer games which start Wednesday morning. Most games are at 8:30/9:00am. Saddly , the regular joints for soccer like the Pheonix are not opening up early. But, I called the Pork Store on 16th and they agreed to show it.
During the World Cup, when games tended to run during the early morning hours (our time), every day when I walked past Taqueria Los Coyotes (16th & that ugly-ass alley), they were blasting the soccer.
Hey, watch what you say about Weise.
Sorry, I was having an extended brain fart and could not remember the name of that ugly-ass alley, G-d bless it.
The Irish bar in Noe Valley generally opens early enough to watch Europe soccer games, and Pissed off Pete’s on Mission a few blocks after Silver will definitely do it, but you have to get out there, A WHOLE MILE.
Read the rest of the thread. Clues.
Enh. We probably won’t. If you don’t want to watch the olympics, you can come by and watch giants games or shitty movies.
Rock Bar on 29th Street will play the Olympics! Their TV is generally reserved for Giants games however a conversation with bartender last night confirmed they will tune into the Olympics! p.s their jukebox rules! aQuarius Records selections! Flower Travellin Band and Summer Olympics two of my favorite things!
Cerveceria at 18th and Church will play any event – requests welcome.
McConnell’s Monday visit to Indianapolis for a Mourdock fundraiser is the seventh in the last month by a Republican senator on Mourdock’s behalf, with two more scheduled for later this week.
