Any suggestions for good Milwaukee places to watch the game? Always have the most fun watching these with a large crowd of Marquette fans all cheering. Not sure where the prime spot is these days. Anyone know if there will be a watch party?

Plenty of spots, but the Deer District has the Mecca where the Selection Sunday watch party was and then Uncle Bucks right next door who has the NIL deal with Justin.
There should be a good crowd.

I hear the duck nachos are good.
Sportclub and Third Street Tavern had all the games on last year. Plenty of TVs. Sound on for one of the games.
You can reserve a table at the Mecca but they charge you twenty dollars per person for the reservation.
Will docs be doing the all you can drink and eat special?
Hoping to get to Brat house. Usually a great pregame MUBB site. So hopefully they will play the MUBB sound?
Major Goolsbys, good food, cheap beer compared to those other places, tons of TV's
Caff's obviously common people group "work" remote day from campus!

Whoa. I assume that $20 then goes on your tab, meaning it's a $20 drink minimum/pp?

That's not how it was for Bucks playoff games. They were requiring a $20 non refundable deposit for the table plus $100 tab minimums for some games. And they still packed the place.

No, not when the games are in Milwaukee---Only special will be smoked corn beef, and they are pulling out some rare whiskeys.

Even better we'll see if I can still play the fight song on my bagpipes

I agree +1,000... I thin k there is like 51 TV's there ! ! ! It is a TRUE sports bar ! ! ! 8-)
I like Sport Club. The only thing that made the Murray State debacle tolerable was D-Wade and the Heat came in during the second half.

Red gets the "premium" pricing package.

I like Sport Club too. Watched the 2020 BET and last summer's Bucks NBA Finals game there. It was a short run to the Deer District on "Bucks in 6" night.

Just curious - did you audition for the pep band? That would have been awesome!

I did not, I floated the idea to a person in the band, who was a certain RA of mine & scoop icon, and he said "I don't think that's an instrument we'd have in here" probably for the best all drinking & boxing things considered.
I think the SportsClub has private party tomorrow afternoon until 5:30, but please double check.

I love it when there are non-traditional instruments in the band. Back in the 80's, I had a friend who played bass guitar, and it was a great addition.
I was at MECCA on Saturday night for the Bucks / Warriors. My reservation fee was only applied if I no-showed.
I would skip it. The staff is nice but not well trained. It's really pricey and the atmosphere is nowhere near as fun as Uncle Buck's, Brats or the Major. it has potential but needs a real bar / restaurant operator in there to maximize it.

I agree with this analysis.
Sportclub does indeed have a private party until 5 PM tomorrow.
