GAME WATCHES ARE BACK!!!
A New Football Season, Same Conference, A Fun Bar BUT the Same GREAT CAL FOOTBALL TEAM to Watch. Our Club has a great history of gathering for Game Watches in a local libation establishment. Our second year with the Atlantic Coast Conference is starting as the PAC 12 fades. We ha such a great season last year we will continue to have watches at our favorite venue: Town Tavern, 2323 18th Street NW, in Adams Morgan, a real San Francisco Bay Sports Bar. Founded 16 years ago by Gracie an expat from the Bay Area, her theme focuses on the 49ers and the San Francisco Giants. Cal’s first game is against Oregon State on Saturday August 30 and the full schedule is below. Game time for this one is late - 10:30 EDT. Let’s make this a great kick-off event and fill the Town Tavern. Great swag too!!! Capital Beverage Distributors is giving us great swag with shirts and pint glasses, among other fun stuff --- all with our distinctive Club logo with the Golden Bear and U.S. Capitol.
The Club needs your help to keep the games watches going forward. We still need to get someone lined up to lead this Game Viewing program area. Contact President Rob [email protected] or Justin Hudson [email protected] with any questions.
The Basics
Game Times. Several games have times announced. For the remaining games, we will not know the actual time of the game until about a week out. Town Tavern can stay open legally until 2 am.
The streets feel safe and are well traveled by people. Parking and Public Transportation. here is some street parking on the side streets to 18th Street, NW. Minimal parking on 18th Street because of the way the restaurants and bars have extended their premises onto the sidewalk and street.
About two blocks away there is commercial parking at:
Colonial Parking
