cliffwalsh Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Jeff, Sounds good. Luke, Nemo, and I are flying in about 2:30pm Sat into BWI. I think several of us are staying at the Super 8 hotel. Let us know where to be and we will. Cliff (please no tequilla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 If we can get the 3 Amigos liquored up enough, all of us "lower classed" guys might have a shot at taken 'em!!! I can see 'em all right now...Sombreros down over their eyes passed out in the corner of the bar with half-drunk bottles of tequilla in their hands. Dude, Cliff's hardcore. My strategy is to figure out a way to cut him completely off from the Silver Bullets the night before, and by match time in the morning he should be in full-blown DTs.

LChico Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) To check out restaurants & bars in York, go to http://national.citysearch.com/ Under the 2nd search option, plug in this address: 40 Arsenal Rd, York, PA That is the address of the Super 8 -- Narrow the search to restaurants & bars. You get a listing of numerous taverns & bars, fast food places & a few genuine restaurants like steak & seafood places (complete with local phone numbers & maps). Saturday night, most decent places will be packed (not sure you're actually looking for a 'decent place' from the tone of this thread ), but there are sports bars & places like Hooters and Lonestar steakhouse on the list. This gives you a few weeks to narrow down the choices. Once you pick a place, I will be happy to send an "invitation" to all the revo shooters in the match, so that those who do not browse BE can join in the fun.

Anyway, I called the bar and they said that they are just your average neighborhood bar with good bar food. It isn't a biker bar or anything like that. As for "alternate life-style" types, we are just trying to be sensitive to our "left coast" contingent (Doug C).

dgsmith Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hooters is being rebuilt after it had a fire a few months ago. Not sure if it will be open by summer blast.

cliffwalsh Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 +1 for Hooters.....They have the best grilled ham and cheese. Then you add bacon and a pitcher of Coors light and you have one hell of an appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hooters is being rebuilt after it had a fire a few months ago. Not sure if it will be open by summer blast. Perhaps those of you voting for Hooters missed the post that indicated it may still be a construction site. . . Jeff - When you called Wheelies, did you ask if the place was big enough for an 'invasion' of 25 to 30 extra people on a Saturday night?

Hog Sniper Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Fat Daddys wasnt bad the last time I was there. ( A few years ago) Its between the Harley Plant and I-83. If you want to stay safe on a National Chain there are Damons, TGIFridays, Smokey Bones, Olive Garden, all right aound Arsenal Road. FOR THE BEER PROFESSIONAL: If you dont mind about a half hour drive I would suggest Kclingers Tavern in Hanover. They have the largest beer selection on the East coast (Over 350) including a few that are hand drawn from kegs in the basement. (No carbonation). Heres a link to the web site and a review of the bar. The food is good too! http://www.epinions.com/fddk-review-1AEE-2...-3A2D247F-prod2 http://www.kclingers.com/index.htm I may be in York on Sunday and will try to scope a few places out. If there is a place in paticular that you are interested in let me know. If I cant get there myself I can try to make a few phone calls to check it out. I would be very cautious about downtown York. (Duke street Princess Street Etc.) There are some nice places there also but be cautious as with any city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Check on Hooters, there is nothing I like better than a pair of frosty jugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerX1166 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hooters definitely doesn't look like it's gonna be open for the Blast. I think there's one in Mechanicsburg, if you want to drive. There's a Klingers closer than Hanover just off 83 in Etters - it's actually next to my office. Food's decent too. Champions is okay as I understand. I think San Remo is decent and it's right across from the Holiday on Arsenal. If you want excellent prime rib - Coombs Tavern is the place to be. Call ahead now if you want reservations. Less hazardous area of town. +1 on being careful if you go downtown. Had some folks come in from Japan/India/Europe who stayed downtown - got to see the aftermath of a driveby coming home from dinner one night. Cobblestones is nice (pool tables/sports bar atmosphere) but caution is required in the neighborhood. Bring a PA CCW holder along. That's about as good as I get around the bar scene but I'll also be glad to help anyway I can to those coming in from out of town. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Sniper Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Cliff, sorry no frosty jugs for you..I called the Hooters in Mechanicsburg and they said the York location wont be open until mid August at the earliest.... I forgot about the Etters location of KClingers....I havent been there yet! Edited June 25, 2006 by Hog Sniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrettone Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well, it sounds like Hooters is out and I am hearing cautionary tales about downtown York. I like the idea of the KClingers Tavern (lotsa variety), but a 30-40 minute drive kinda sucks IMHO. How close is the Etters location to the Super 8 Motel in York??? We need to make a decision soon, as we need reservations for a group of our size (20-30 people). Please advise... Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live close to the Super 8 and work right next to Klingers (you'll be parking in my office's lot). I think they have live entertainment on the weekends too. If you like beer, you'll like Klingers. Only place in the area I can find Smithwick's. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
