Brooklyn Roll Call

[reinko]

Who is headed there on Monday?  Any NY Area Scoopers have tips for pre and/or post game refreshments? 

[WarriorInNYC]

I'll be there, heading over from Manhattan.  The pregame bar for MU fans is Koelner BierHalle (KBH), located at 84 St. Marks Pl Brooklyn, NY 11217.  I've never been there, but can detail a few places nearby that are also worth checking out:

The Smoke Joint - awesome bbq, great whiskey - there are a ton of other restaurants/bars around as well
Purbird - no alcohol, but amazing chicken and serious sides as well.  Seriously, visit here for lunch
Die Stammkneipe - old german beer hall, cash only, has foosball, great place to have some good beer and just hang out

Other than those spots, don't have a whole ton of insight into the rest of that area.

Depending where you are staying, I would recommend elsewhere for post-game activities.

My wife and I will be there, driving all the way up from NC (with stopovers in Philly and Easton to see family and friends).

Thanks for the info on places to go, etc.

This reminds me that I haven't received anything official from MU yet -- including ticket pick-up info, gathering info, etc. They told me when I ordered the tix that they'd send something out a week in advance. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow, I guess I'll call them.

I am on the fence right now - would make for a long day but a very fun trip. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The future Mrs. Tamu is from long island so we are going. In exchange I get the joy of spending thanksgiving with the future in laws

Hmmmm, I received an email two Fridays ago with those details.  Pretty much all it said was tickets were held at will-call and KBH was the pregame spot and opens at 3pm.

Will be coming in on the LIRR from Bethpage,  remember adult beverages allowed on the train as long as they are in the inconspicuous paper bag.

Do you have to prepare register for this,  or just can anyone just show up?

[MarquetteDano]

I'll be there with the missus.  Easy sell getting my wife to Brooklyn since she is a foodie.

[JoeSmith1721]

If you guys are in to beer, Mission Dolores, Pacific Standard and Owl Farm are great bars near the Barclay's Center.

Just suck it up

And get used to it

And you better smile the whole time

OK ... I DEFINITELY am going to call tomorrow.

[BM1090]

Not this year. Couldn't convince anyone to go coming off the down year.

Hope to be at MSG next year (or this coming march) and definitely will be in Maui in 2017.

Hey Guys-

'92 Grad and NYC metro area native here that has lived in Brooklyn Heights (about a mile from Barclays) for 12 years.  Here are some recommendations.  Most of these places are not in the immediate vicinity of Barclays but all within a 1.5 mile range....2-3 Subway stops or at most a 10 minute cab ride even in traffic.  Here Goes:

High End
Henry's End or sister place Brooklyn Heights Wine Bar 2 doors down- Brooklyn Heights
Colonie - Brooklyn Heights
Jack the Horse Tavern- Brooklyn Heights
Al Di La Trattoria - Park Slope
Brucie - Cobble Hill

Mid Range
Frankies Spuntino - Carroll Gardens
Lucali (Pizza) - Carroll Gardens
Buttermilk Channel - Carroll Gardens
Pok Pok - Red Hook (A little further than some of the others but worth the trip)
Duck Goose - Gowanus
The Pines- Gowanus

Casual
Wilma Jean- Carroll Gardens
Henry Public - Brooklyn Heights
Pork Slope - Park Slope
Dinosaur BBQ - Park Slope
Fletcher's BBQ - Gowanus
Littleneck - Gowanus

I could go on for a while but these are all good bets or you could just walk along Smith Street. Tons of  Restaurants bars there.  Enjoy the big apple!

just get the proper pronunciation of Long Island down and you'll be fine.

Wow!  Metro North is much easier, as you can forget the paper bag.  It's tradition to buy a tall boy at one of the shops or the snack cart for the ride home from NYC.
You should see the Yankee Clipper train on the way to a Yankee game.  Taligate party on wheels.

You sound like a local

[GoldenEagles1990]

Foleys in Manhattan. Great sports bar, right across the street from the Empire State Building. I make sure to stop there every time I'm in the City.

[MU82]

My wife just asked: "Why are we going to Brooklyn again?"

Hah, well I'll be there.

[MU82]

OK ... so how do all the Scoopers in Brooklyn meet?

Do we all wear red bow ties or something?

Look for the ankle bracelets

I wanted to go...bad. But the better half was stiff arming me.  Now I am glad she did.
