But back in da day, place called Greveys, on Gallows rd and RT 50 in Merrifield was a good Buffalo sports bar. It is where I watched the 1-0 , 4 overtime calssic with the Devils!!! Â Course, ESPN zone in the district would have the games on. Â Now, I know this may be sacriledge on this board, but you are talking regular season games here, why not get out and enjoy the city sted of holed up in a bar watching the game. OTOH, when a need a break from all the FAMILY time, what better excuse than to watch a game!!!!!! Use it all the time. Â BTW, the Marine Corps museum just opened near Quantico, very cool place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraps Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 we will be visiting my wifes sister....anyone know of a good place to catch any Sabres games during that time? I believe she lives in Vienna? but I am not sure...DC TOM I expect you to be rolling out the welcome mat...  The best place in the area to see Sabres games is Bailey's in Crystal City. I'm not sure if the games at that time will be among the "official" games where the local Sabres backers club gets bar specials and the sound or not but there seems to be fans there for every game and we have talked them into giving us sound even for "unofficial" games.  Other places to see games would be Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Greveys and I'm sure Glory Days on Nutley Street in Vienna would put the game on. I doubt there would be other fans at Greveys or Glory Days.   Directions to Bailey's  Bailey's Crystal City 2010 Crystal Dr. Arlington, VA 22202 (703) 416-0452    Coming from the City: Yellow to Huntington or Blue to Franc. Springfield Off at Crystal City Make a right off the Metro (towards 20th St.) Head up the FIRST ESCALATOR ONLY Make a left towards 20th/23rd St.- it looks like you're walking into a mall Walk straight (it's a bit of a walk) towards 20th St. When you have the choice to go right to 23rd street or left to 20th street--- Make a left and go out the doors Make a right outside of the doors Make a right on Crystal Drive Bailey's is on the right- you have to walk up the stairs to get to the bar.  Driving: Route 1 Left on 20th St. Right into the parking garage before Crystal Dr.- IT's FREE PARKING Walk out of the parking garage towards Crystal Drive Make a right on Crystal Drive Bailey's is on the right- you have to walk up the stairs to get to the bar.

That's close to my house, and it will takes months to get rid of the smell.  Besides, not sure he'll appreciate the new museum. Too much of a tard.

VABills Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Serious tater, make sure you go to the Vienna Inn. It's a landmark. Make sure you order burgers, or something. Just make sure you say the dogs suck. Â Also, Greveys is a good place to catch sports, not too far from there. Also, you may want to check out a George Mason BB game while here, tickets are fairly cheap, decent team, and easy to get to and from the arena.

Bungee Jumper Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Grevey's in Falls Church is closer to Vienna than Bailey's in Crystal City, and should be showing Sabres games. Grevey's is sort-of "known" as a Buffalo sports bar (bar manager's a big Bills fan, they show Sabres games as well). Bailey's, though, has more cowbell. Â Looks like the games that'll be on for your trip are a Boston game on the 17th and Philly on the 20th...and the Philly game's tentatively scheduled to be shown on "Versus" (stupid name for a network ). Anyone with cable in this area gets Versus (though they probably don't know it; I don't think anyone watches it except hockey fans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 plus they used to serve beef on weck, not sure if they still do...greveys would be my suggestion, although for a big nite of drinking, might i suggest the brikskeller in the embassy district of NW DC.......   Grevey's in Falls Church is closer to Vienna than Bailey's in Crystal City, and should be showing Sabres games.
