That's No Moon Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 I'm going to be in Meriden on Thursday. Any places I can go with my 16 y/o to be with like minded individuals? Quote
Pete Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Anna Liffey's in New Haven is a good Bills bar 1 Quote

goober Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 I am not aware of anything in Hartford. Maybe closer to New Haven? Oddly, Vinny’s Roast Beef in Wallingford had Beef on Weck that I remember being pretty good but not a place you could watch the game. As far as sports it was mainly UCONN/ Pats(Brady)/Sox …. all else irrelevant and unworthy Quote
Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 I didn't know about Tavern House. It's certainly worth a try. It's probably 40 minutes from Meriden. I didn't know Anna Liffey's was still there, or that it still had the Bills games on. Small, but the times I was there the fans were ardent. I used to go to Chicago Sam's in Cromwell - not a Bills bar, but plenty of TVs and a fun place to watch games. I don't know what their crowd will be like on Thursday. A lot of Giants and Pats fans in the area, so some will naturally be rooting against the Bills. Quote
RuffMuff Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I heard Shea's in Manchester is Bills bar, from a Steelers friend. Havent been there yet. I g ot a new big TV on the deck for early games, a good home recipe for some wings, hard to leave it. Edited September 3, 2022 by RuffMuff update 1 Quote
OneBeforeIDie Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Hey dude, I'm from Buffalo but I live in Milford CT. Anna Liffeys in New Haven closed. But we made an awesome Bills Backers group of Southern CT. We meet at a place called My Bar in Milford CT at 12 Broad Street, Milford CT 06460. Check out our Facebook page. We get a ton of turnout https://m.facebook.com/groups/319791058228928/ Quote

DCBongo Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 There is a group of Bill's fans (Southern Connecticut Bills Backers) that go to My Bar in Milford Ct. You can find the group on Facebook. Quote
UConn James Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Wow. More CT representation than I thought here. I didn’t know about Tavern House Grill in Tolland, and it’s like 20 minutes away. Alas, the FB says it went belly-up in 2019. Shea’s in Manchester is now the sanctioned bar, last I’m seeing. Quote
Jester Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 I can second Shea’s in Manchester. Go Bills! Quote
fergie's ire Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Yeah. Anna Liffey's closed a while back. Quote

Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Bottom line is that Connecticut is not thick with Bills fans. It's the heart of Giants and Patriots country, with some Jets fans thrown in. The cost of living is pretty high here, so most people leaving WNY for a better job don't find CT to be an affordable destination. Still, wear your Bills stuff and you get a "Go Bills!" from time to time. We were in Newport a couple of weeks ago and met Bills fans from Newington. A few years ago I met James Lofton's cousin, a big Bills fan who lives in Meriden. I've never been to Shea's. They advertised on TV a lot a couple of years ago, because they have a big patio, so they could support a lot of outdoor dining in good weather during the pandemic. I definitely will drop by to see what the action is like, and may even catch a game there. The problem is, I've been spoiled by the Harp. An hour and a half drive to be in a big place packed with Bills fans is worth it compared to a 15 minute drive to a place where half the patrons are Pats and Giants fans. But maybe I'm wrong - if we can fill Shea's for Bills game, I'd be a regular. 2 Quote
Shaw66 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Does anyone know how many Bills fans show up at Shea's for games? Quote
Jester Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 I was only there for the playoff game against the Texans a few years back. It was packed! Agree about The Harp. I lived in Boston for a few years and that place is great! Used to make my friend drive from Ellington to meet me there. Quote

Shaw66 Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 I'm going to Shea's on Thursday night. I hope other fans will show up there, too. It would be good to have a big crowd, if a big crowd of Bills fans is even possible in the center of Connecticut. Quote
Mynamemike Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Sorry to hear you’ll be in Connecticut. Quote
