Wisconsin Dells MU Bars

[TT13]

Does anyone know of anywhere in the Dells to watch Tuesday's game? Thanks.

Since the Dells is in Charter's territory, very few bars will actually have the game as it won't be on basic cable.  I'm not sure who has the Full Court Package or an extended sports package that would include SNY or MASN, but I would guess that the most likely candidates would be (in order of likelihood):

1) Damon's (out by the Kalahari)
2) Monk's (at the Wilderness or Downtown) -- Great burgers, but be prepared to be ridiculed (or get some dirty looks) if you show up in Marquette gear at the downtown bar... one look at the decor and barstools and you'll know why.
3) Applebee's (near the Lower Dells Boat Launch, intersection of Hwys 13-16-23)
4) Gilly's Island (Downtown) -- Newer place, great steak sandwiches, not sure if Gilly has the sports package though.
5) Moosejaw (On the strip in Lake Delton, half-way between Tommy Bartlett's and the Wilderness) -- A family-friendly brewpub... fair amount of bar seating

Some of the bars in the larger resorts (Kalahari, Wilderness, Great Wolf, Chula Vista) may also have the requisite channel lineup to get the game.  Sorry I couldn't give you a precise answer, but if you call these places ahead of time, I'm sure that at least one will have the game on.

Speaking of MU bars, anyone know what the deal is with the Four Shadows bar in Chicago?  I was driving down Diversey, and on the corner of Ashland/Diversey this bar has a bunch of blue and gold MU flags flying.  Thought I was seeing things.  Alum or something?

Thank you very much. I will make some calls.

Anyone else find humor in a Dells townie trying to mock an MU grad?

Called all five of those places and Damon's said they would have it so I went there and they didn't have the Sports Pack or the college basketball package. I'm back at the hotel trying to watch the game online.

Sorry, TT.... I'm surprised that Damon's wasn't able to pull it in on DirecTV (they should have a premium subscription that would include SNY).  Unfortunately, the Dells doesn't have anything near what I would call a sports bar, and never has.  But considering that it's more of a family-friendly destination, it's not entirely surprising.

Happened to me last year when I was staying there for work...I found it quite humorous.
