babygorilla 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 I was wondering if there are any Red Wings fans in Austin, TX, and or any good bars that carry the wings game in the general area. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 I've never lived there but have spent some time there. Not sure about Wings friendly bars, but just make sure you support the Longhorns. Its a really great city, you will have fun there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotTooAbby 71 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I moved from Detroit to the Dallas area three years ago, and over here(3-4hours away) the Stars arent exactly a big draw...too many bandwagon fans I presume. Ive been to Austin for a MSU basketball game, overall it was a good experience. To play it safe if you get a Modano tshirt you will win over a few more fans. Get used to the heat, the humidity and the horns. You're either UT or A&M...so you better pick soon. sidenote - also try Dickeys BBQ and Rudys BBQ----unreal food Edited August 31, 2010 by NotTooAbby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 There are quite a few of us here... the sports bars tend to be pretty unwilling to show hockey games, they prefer football. But I am friends with the owners of Cover 3 (central Austin, Anderson Lane and Burnet area). They will show them for us, so I suggest a get together when the season starts. Their food is great, too. That, and we could meet up at Texas Stars vs. Griffins games. PM me if you want details on the area. I've been here for a long time. Vladifan is here in the area and so is hillbillywingsfan, and a few others who don't post much anymore, but they're lurking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TX Wing 26 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 I lurk, but post occasionally. UT student, wasn't born Texan(CNY) but got here as fast as I could. Red Wing fan since I saw the Adirondack Red Wings when I was little and die hard since Hasek was traded to the Wings and never looked back. Hook 'em! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladifan 680 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Vladifan too I think... Right? Correct. We live about 30 miles away from downtown Austin. We love it here, and I wasn't sure I would. Good ol' boyz and mesquite didn't sound like too much fun. But there's a lot going on around here, even if you're not a football fan. And yeupp, I haven't read Loo's post yet but she does live in Austin; and I don't go to bars as a rule, but I know even where we live they have sports bars. WELCOME!!

It's a nice place, great food, lots of parking, central, etc. The guys who own/run it are members of the gym I belong to, right down the street at Shoal Creek and Anderson Ln (MoPac). Gym One is a good source of bouncers, it seems. Anyway, I asked the owner if he'd show Wings games and he said, you bet, all we had to do was ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waitahochiminute 2 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 I had 2 cousins move to Austin and 1 move to Houston and they still are die hard fans. I'll ask them where they watch when I hear from them again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheveldae32 32 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Even though I am still partial to home (Detroit), i've been in Dallas for almost 5 years now and Texas is pretty nice....minus the rediculous heat/humidity. Out of all the major Texas cities I think that Austin is the nicest; it really gives you the layed back southern "Texas" feel yet has a ton of stuff to do. If you or any of the other members are coming to Dallas for a game be sure to let NotTooAbby or I know, we go to every game when the boys are in town. We have a pre-game ritual of goin to the Hooters that is about 4 blocks from teh rink, the place is packed and is about 50/50 Wings to Stars fans. Dallas fans are pretty fun to be around, not rude and obnoxious like Chicago fans so the whole experience would be great for anyone willing to make the trip. Welcome to Texas and I third the notion to try Dickeys and Rudy's BBQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillbillywingsfan 792 Report post Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I live in Round Rock. I know Drwscc,Loo and I tried to get together before to watch one and had a time at it.

Cool place. btw on bbq i like smokey moes....but i usally just make it myself. No one beats hillbillys bbq=) WELCOME TO THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
