MarkMiller Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Hey fellas! Recently moved to the Stamford, CT area and haven’t had any luck locating a Bills Backers bar. The list on the Bills site is outdated and any info I’ve found from old threads on here is filled with bars that have since closed. Any help here would be massively appreciated! 1
EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Stamford is in the more populated part of CT... that's bizarre! I used to live in Groton, CT on the other side of the state and the Bills bar I used to go to is closed now I guess. No luck in New York?
Jrb1979 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Any local bar should carry the game so it shouldn't matter if they back the Bills or not. 1

Tempted to start something up. I moved here after living in NYC for 11 years, and while I definitely had some great spots there it’s tough to make it in now that I’ve got a baby at home! 29 minutes ago, Jrb1979 said: Any local bar should carry the game so it shouldn't matter if they back the Bills or not. Fair, but I’d prefer to go somewhere to watch with fellow Bills fans instead of being given a 10” TV in the back of the bar because the good spots are reserved for the millions of Pats fans here.

Nick the Greek Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 It is a bummer that the list is so outdated. McFaddens in Stamford wasn’t bad, but now it’s closed. Maybe Brother Jimmies has something now for Bills fans? I watched games with these folks before. It wasn’t too bad. I would check the Facebook page for updates. I don’t think it’s too far from Stamford. I haven’t gone in awhile tho as I have ticket now. https://m.facebook.com/WestchesterBBB/

I grew up in Ellington, CT. I never met a Bills' fan. Patriots, Giants, and a sprinkling of bandwagon Steelers, and Cowboys...

No idea how up to date or accurate this list is, but it's the official list: https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/upload/bills/yvfkwdxbiehsgk4lqrfl.pdf
KD in CA Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Years ago Bobby V’s had a good Bills crowd so you might want to check that out. A few years ago there was a small group at East Side Cafe in Norwalk (Exit 16).
UConn James Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Wait... you moved to Connecticut?!?!!! It’s like a mad rush to escape this place. 1
Shaw66 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 2 minutes ago, UConn James said: Wait... you moved to Connecticut?!?!!! It’s like a mad rush to escape this place. Sad but true. Anna Liffeys in New Haven used to have a small contingent of Bills fans there. I'm in Hartford, and if I want a real Bills experience I go to the Harp in Boston. From Stamford, that makes less sense. McFadden's in NYC is where I'd go from Fairfield County. I know it's a trip, but it's so much more fun watching the game in room full of Bills fans.
Don Otreply Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I think Shaw 66 is in ct, he may know, i lived in West Hartford for a while, went to a place called Sliders to catch games, always liked living in ct, nice country sides to hike and Mtn bike, big trail system, lots of good restaurants in many places.

We loved it in Groton! Close to some of the best food joints we've been to, close to Providence, two casinos, ferry to LI, and more. Sure it cost more to live there, but there are so many benefits. It helps to be a veteran, but even if I wasn't it still would be a top place to move back to. 1

I also enjoy living in New London CT myself and if I want to watch the game at a bar I went to Hot Rods since they had all the games but it’s not a Bills place and it’s to far. I have Sunday Ticket since I moved back so I don’t go anymore.

Still out of the way but howl at the moon in white plains or the huddle in Tarrytown both show Bills games with sound. Take 287 into New York, probably take you about 30 minutes
Paul Costa Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I live in Stamford and we have a small group that goes to Bradford’s bar & grill. It’s downtown. Several are going to the game. I’m planning on meeting a couple of people there. Good spot to watch game. They take care of us. I think they have the best wings around. Not much competition ?

Empire Pizza, and Captain Scott's I miss a LOT. I forgot the name of the Bills bar that used to be there... it was near the Pfizer HQ.

Had our baby in NYC and within a few weeks of trying that we knew we had to GTFO! Still need to commute into the city almost daily, so CT made sense. I honestly love how quiet our town is, and the proximity to water & hiking trails is a game changer. 18 hours ago, Shaw66 said: Sad but true.

Found Anna Liffey's in a few search results, but looks like it closed a while back.

Awesome! That's a 10-15 min drive from me. Think I might check it out this Sunday!
Paul Costa Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Cool ? look for some Red, White & Blue @ the bar
DCBongo Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 There is a group at Murphy's Law in Bridgeport. I went there one year, but then had twins and got the ticket for the condo. Moved to Newtown and kept the ticket. My Dad and I go to McFaddens in NYC once a year for the Bill game day experience (kind of, sort of, but not really)
Golden*Wheels Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Use to be an OK crowd in Danbury...can't recall name of the bar tho...?
