Its that time of year again. The days are getting longer, the flowers are in bloom, the sun is out to greet us again. And throngs of men (and some women) are gearing up for tourney time. The steady march to Indianapolis begins!
As you're gearing up for Selection Sunday you're probably saddened by the prospect of having to follow the game online. But fear not, there are several places right here in London to catch the action. The largest of these would be the American expat haunt, the Sports Cafe and Grill. This has the benefit of staying open very late into the early morning for most games. But be sure to call ahead, as they can be inconsistent. Also as the Sports Cafe is mere milliseconds from Piccadilly Circus, it can get really crowded.
Another option is the Sports Grill and Bar in Marleybone. Although the place won't be packed to the rafters with Americans, just about every square-inch of this place is covered in flat screen TVs. So you should have no problems viewing the game.
Other less obvious places to watch the games are the Texas Embassy and Bodeans. The Texas Embassy, always has American sports playing in the bar area. They also have pretty decent chips and salsa as well as beer and margaritas. Bodeans always plays American sports games and has amazing BBQ but they tend to close pretty early. They will however play the game in its entirety the next day.
Curious how these places rate?
