OT - Michigan Bar in London
Hello Brethren,
In Brighton/London UK for work this week/weekend and looking for a good place to watch the game this weekend. I'm staying in the Chelsea/Fulham area of S London so any recommendations will be much appreciated. Doesn't have to be nearby, just a good atmosphere with other M fans/alums or CFB fans. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Not sure why people can't do the research themselves, there are alumni contacts in most major capitols around the world and they are better sources of info than a web forum.

That's link you sent out hasn't been updated in years. I'm going to be in Mexico City for the Penn State game but nowhere on this site is there anything about where to watch a game there. I've emailed both of the contacts for Mexico City and one guy responded and said he hasn't been in touch with the Alumni in the area in over ten years and the other email was dead.
I've done all the google searches in English and Spanish and nothing has come up. So my only choice would be to ask the board and suffer through all you snarky assholes until someone finally answers who knows something.
but go on, act like a jerk to this guy who just wants to see the game in London.

These threads always warrant at least four fakes out of five.

Game will be at 7:30pm local so most places should be open. Google maps shows a few options.near where you'll be. Say hello to the Thames for me.
November 11th, 2015 at 2:04 PM ^
Thanks for spelling "brethren" correctly. It amazes me how many people spell it "bretheren." Those same people also pronounce it like that or even "brotheren."
November 11th, 2015 at 2:17 PM ^
Why don't you say "mate" anymore?
November 11th, 2015 at 2:21 PM ^
Probably a fraud that forgot about his Australian schtick momentarily.
November 11th, 2015 at 2:39 PM ^
You're TOTALLY right. I'm not Australian. You got me there!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!
November 11th, 2015 at 2:38 PM ^
It depends on the situation.

rabble, rabble, where can I watch this game in my house? Rabble, rabble, I'm in a submarine for the weekend, can anyone point me to a good coral reef that has cable coverage? Random joke, random joke, looking for a bar in AA, any suggestions? I only have two beers left and the game hasn't started yet, where can I go to buy more? Will sling box allow me to watch the game? I don't have cable, do local restaurants and bars have televisions inside them?

I am spending this weekend shoving rectal thermometers in my anus while locked in a sensory deprivation chamber. Anyone know where I can watch the game?
November 11th, 2015 at 4:12 PM ^
Well done.

Rather than being a dick, here's are some places:

This place was cool:
Sports Bar and Grill in Maryleborne or the Sport Bar and Gril near Victoria Station.
There was a 2-story place near the Texas Embassy Cantina that was open until 2am, but not sure if it's there anymore. It was a huge sports bar.
November 11th, 2015 at 2:20 PM ^
You are a dick for catering to this dumbass.
November 11th, 2015 at 2:25 PM ^
So he's the idiot for helping someone out? Weird, what a jerk that guy is for being nice to a random person he doesn't even know on a Michigan fan blog. It's not like he randomly chose to insult someone for no reason at all. Thanks for flexing your internetz muscles....

The irony

Wasn't random. And I'm not acting. "Michigan Bar" posts are idiotic.
November 11th, 2015 at 2:36 PM ^
Also for the op sports bars, in general, are not a big thing over there. Everyone kept telling us go to HIppodrome casino for US sports, but they couldn't even get the um-minne game on. They did have all the NFL games though.
November 11th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
The Marylebone station sports bar would be my best guess. good luck. Not easy to find a spot in London, the game is early enough that you should be OK. I tried for the Utah game. The :ate start time on a Thursday/friday morning made it very difficult.

I was in London the weekend of the BYU masterpiece, and watched it with about 30-40 UM fans at the Jetlag Bar. Had a blast and made many new friends.

I'll be at the Breezy Acres Psychiatric Hospital this weekend taking care of a little anger issue. And that I hate my mother. Anyone know a tv in the facility not playing reruns of Jeopardy?
Asking for a friend.

Chelsea/Fulham considered West London
Its international soccer week in Europe so you might have difficulty finding the game
November 11th, 2015 at 2:36 PM ^
We never had this many people ask "Where is the UM bar in ___" last year.
Just another sign people actually give a shit about our football team.
YAY!

I have watched a few M games at Shuckers Bar and Grill (off the causeway) and it's a good time!

is nowhere near london. That's like saying you are in Grand Rapids/Chicago. If you are in London, enjoy London. If you are in Brighton, that's quite different. That being said I go to Brighton quite a bit and have no idea what to do there and would love a suggestion.
November 11th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
I took Brighton/London to mean Brighton during the week and London for the weekend.
November 11th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
you want to go to a "Michigan" bar in Brighton England during the week when there's no major sports on? Yeah that makes a ton of sense.
