Considering that it's the Primetime game, I'm sure just about anywhere will have the game on.

Slider House usually has an alum party, if he's looking for a Michigan-specific place. Here are some reviews:

I went to Slider House for the Army game and it was decent. Had a lot of good specials and the sliders were good. Not a huge place though.

While this is true...sitting in the corner of a sports bar with no game sound, no cheers, and surrounded by Missouri SEC slappies in town for the Vandy game while you watch the small TV on the corner
vs.
Packed wall to wall with folks in maize and blue, every TV turned to the game, Hail to the Victors blaring after scores, raffles supporting the local alumni scholarship fund, Nashville specific UM gear (seriously, buy this year's tee, it's cool) and Michigan beer discounts...
I'd choose the latter.
EDIT: I always hate the answer of "everywhere will have it on". You could also watch it alone in your hotel room. Finding the game on a TV is never the hurdle...OP is just wanting to cheer along with other fans in a new city. Sorry you're getting negged, OP. It's not that hard to help our own.

And the Predators play Saturday night.
October 18th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
Good point. Sports bars will be all Preds.
On a board where we're reading about people's Michigan dreams and random ranking methodology...we can't even be bothered to help someone cheer on their team.
The world we live in.

One of the best experiences I ever had was watching a Michigan game with the alumni(I'm not an alum) in a bar in New Orleans. It was the dropped punt game, but that part aside, it was by far the most fun I've ever had watching a game in public.
October 18th, 2019 at 10:54 AM ^
Went to Beyond The Edge on 11th St when I was there once to catch a Michigan game. Would highly recommend.
October 18th, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
Hey, we should make a kind of pseudo-permenant post all about UM friendly bar locations all over the country! Wouldn't that be a great idea! Oh, and get off my lawn.
October 18th, 2019 at 4:04 PM ^
FWIW, I think we are seeing more of these requests b/c the Google Map linked to in that thread is broken.

Did you also used to stack f***s like the OP 6 feet high like cord wood when you were in Korea?
October 18th, 2019 at 11:44 AM ^
As a resident, this is the correct answer.

My man cave.
October 18th, 2019 at 11:01 AM ^
Is that an invite for random internet guy? Maybe you guys can camp out in your backyard? Just keep both canned and jarred gravy...
October 18th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
An MGoCamping weekend?
Shouldn't we let "Dennis" in on this?
October 18th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
And that's not your troll cave right?
October 18th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
It can be a troll cave if you pay DrMantisToboggan his troll toll. But you may not like what he'll do.

Just walk down Main St and yell around that you're looking for the local Michigan bar so you can watch some good football with Heisman hopeful's...
October 18th, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
There's a bar on Main Street that shows games.
October 18th, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
If I’m in Nashville on a Saturday night I’m not sitting down watching a football game. Even if it is a huge Michigan game...
October 18th, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
Bachelorette Parties, Honky Tonks, or both?
October 18th, 2019 at 5:49 PM ^
The greatest combination

I live in Nashville. Slider House in Midtown. Get there early for a seat. Beer discounts on Michigan beers. Founders, Bell's, etc.
Go to Slider House. I'll see ya there.
October 18th, 2019 at 1:40 PM ^
I don't make it out for games often, but I'll be there this Saturday with a buddy of mine in town from Atlanta.
October 18th, 2019 at 12:09 PM ^
Yes. I was there last week and there is a Michigan friendly bar called HQ Beercade Nashville. It's right near the Broadway strip.There is a local alumni group that hosts watch parties there
October 18th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
Every week. Every season. These types of threads.
October 18th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
unhappy valley
October 18th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Yep, Slider House! Great place to watch a game and packed with Michigan fans!
October 18th, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
Just a shot in the dark, but if you're in Nashville then I'd guess television would be the best place to watch the game.
October 18th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
This is a Michigan fan group that I was a part of when I lived in Nashville. Far better than the Alumni group, imo. You can actually get excited with this group!! The meet at Headquarters Beercade downtown. Hope it helps. GO BLUE!!

Different strokes for different folks an all, but I have found your characterization to be untrue. I've watched games at Brewhouse South (when that was a thing), at Slider House, and at HQ. HQ was by far my least favorite because there was no cohesion/camaraderie. On the flip side, there's plenty of that to go around at the alumni/spirit group/whatever it is called events.
October 18th, 2019 at 10:09 PM ^
For sure. I admit, my evaluation of the alumni club versus independent fan club was based off of my experiences back in 2015. Either way, the OP can't go wrong as they'll be watching the game with other Michigan fans, in Nashville Tennessee!
October 18th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
I'm headed down next weekend for the Jason Isbell show on the 25th....thanks for the post!
October 18th, 2019 at 2:49 PM ^
We'd love to see you at Slider House. I help organize the watch parties, and we typically have 50-100 people. It does fill up fast for night games - get there plenty early. Expect live audio, the game on every screen, food/drink specials, raffles, t-shirt sales, and more.
As for the environment, the fact that we're in year four there and still fill up most weeks speaks for itself. We always make an announcement to be good to each other and to the servers. For some reason, this bothers jerks. Don't be a jerk and you'll find a welcome home.
October 19th, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
Thanks for this! It's been a while since I've joined an official alumni club watch party, but they are always good times, particularly in cities with decent numbers. I still wear (mostly as a nightshirt) my very ratty Atlanta Michigan alumni club t-shirt I won at a watch party in the early 2000's.
October 18th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
When I was in school in Nashville in 1995, I watched Tim Biakabatuka go off for 313 yds vs. OSU at a BW3 there. Listening to the grumbles and bitches from the SEC Michigan-haters down there (there are a lot of them) was priceless.
Don't know if that helps...but be prepared for a lot of Michigan haters lol.
October 18th, 2019 at 3:19 PM ^
Regardless of the Michigan game, you should (1) get a drink at the Patterson House; (2) get brunch at Monelle's; (3) have a meal at the Hermitage Hotel. Best southern city outside of New Orleans.

Any good Michigan bars in Ulan Bator, Mongolia?
