Michigan Bar in [Insert Location]
BUMPED SO PEOPLE CAN ASK THAT QUESTION IN A PRE-MADE THREAD TODAY - LSA
Hello MgoCollective,
Does anyone know of Michigan bars in Vancouver, BC? I'll be up there for the weekend with my folks, and I need a place to watch the game, preferably with fellow Wolverines. I'm staying downtown (a few blocks from Canada Place), and there's plenty of sports bars, but which one?
I've already checked the map, the thread, the tag, and searched the rest of the board (all I get are posts about hockey riots...).
Thanks in advance!

OP EDIT - Thanks LSA - please feel free to move to Diary (per somebody below's suggestion) or triage as needed. I only posted this because I exhausted just about all other options.

Here let me Google that for you
September 1st, 2016 at 4:26 PM ^
Already tried that too. No results.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:29 PM ^
The results of my search might surprise you

Strip club?

Shit! Just got Rick Rolled. Well played.

you just got rick rolled

When I tried I got some mattress ad

That is 80's synth pop.

Speaking of the map, how often has it been updated? I see that one of the bars in Seattle has since been closed so it needs at least one fix.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:42 PM ^
I don't know if it has ever been updated since its inception in 2009. Hence the need to crowdsource the information...

September 1st, 2016 at 7:44 PM ^
Same with San Diego, although at least the new viewing location is also indicated.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:28 PM ^
If you want to drive 2.5 hours south, the UM Alumi Club Seattle has 2 bars to watch with Wolverines. Buckley's in Seattle and Redmond's Bar & Grille.

I live in Seattle haha. I've got my own reserved table at Buckley's for games (I'm good friends with the manager and bar staff). This is how the bar staff marks my tab:
I'll be there the rest of the year.

Absolutely! I'm always by the front window at the corner of Battery and 2nd (when I'm in town). Come say hi and have a beer!
And yes, that's the plan for now. Was hoping for some help here, but doesn't seem it'll pan out...

Buckley's on gameday is absolutely nuts. Worth the trip up imo, but make sure you have a designated driver haha.

to watch the game alone??
September 1st, 2016 at 4:30 PM ^
I'll be watching the game from the crab nebula.
Anyone know where I might stream the game out here?
September 1st, 2016 at 4:32 PM ^
I bet you'll get WatchESPN. Though it'll take you 6,523 years for the signal to reach you...
September 1st, 2016 at 4:39 PM ^
I'm just going to neg these OP's all season. Feel free to join me. Hopefully, they work their way to IBD.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:40 PM ^
You can take my points, but you can't take my desire to watch football with fellow Wolverines (except you :-) ).
September 1st, 2016 at 4:42 PM ^
Aww. Really?
September 1st, 2016 at 4:45 PM ^
Already? To hell with these posts.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
in the couple years I've been here. I tried asking in the other "Where to watch the game in ______?" thread the other day but got no response. I don't spend a lot of time downtown though (live in East Van) so that may be part of it.
If I hear of something I'll post here for you.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:53 PM ^
Yay someone helpful! I'll be asking around at the hotel as well when I get there, and will post here to update folks as well.
September 1st, 2016 at 5:00 PM ^
Super!
August 31st, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
Hi there, do you know if there might be a group of Wolverine fans watching anywhere in the lower Mainland? Why is Vancouver such a dearth for this? Getting desperate and much appreciated. Thanks.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:53 PM ^
ICYMI, I'll be in Easter Island...
September 1st, 2016 at 4:55 PM ^
August 31st, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? I'd really like to know.
September 1st, 2016 at 4:56 PM ^
If you have one of those old school mesh half jerseys, throw it on.
September 1st, 2016 at 5:00 PM ^
No need to be a dick haha
September 1st, 2016 at 5:08 PM ^
Hope you find one though.

Could this be moved to a Diary to keep the board clean? It might also avoid getting buried as we approach gameday.
September 1st, 2016 at 5:15 PM ^
Long term, it may have to be a sticky thread, at least this season. I think what needs to happen is that someone - not me, because nobody has time for it on my end - will need to collect the intelligence and keep the information for diary purposes. Either that, or people could just update the map themselves as it is not locked. Definitely a guideline that is evolving here, although only two threads so far is not bad. I do fear tomorrow though.

Works for me, fwiw. My problem has been the sheer number of them every week.
September 1st, 2016 at 5:25 PM ^
Just out of curiosity, I've always been a little confused about why these threads are so hated, aside from being annoying due to the sheer number. I'm also aware that it can be searched and there's certainly some that are right in front of the user's nose (but definitely not all). But why such vitriol? I've never been able to figure it out. It seems like it's treated like a shitpost when the majority of the time the OP only has genuinely good intentions in mind.
September 1st, 2016 at 5:53 PM ^
because they don't wash.
September 2nd, 2016 at 11:21 AM ^
Makes them feel good, they know the "insider" coolness of MGOBLOG, or maybe the whole interwebz, of being a jerk. This is a bad place for it, you add the fan base's over all better than you atitude and tendency to look down their nose at others, with anonymity you get people who like to point out others precieved short comings. Why would anyone come to a site dedicated to Michigan sports and ask if there is a place to watch Michigan sports with others? Atleast the political people aren't here to spew bs.
September 3rd, 2016 at 9:12 PM ^
I'll create a new Google Map that segments it all out. It'll be a work in progress for a bit, but it'll get done. Watching my alma mater on a football field on most Saturdays is pretty painful so this'll be a nice white noise project. I'm just glad I chose to be a Wolverine for grad school...
UPDATE:. Apparently I'm a typical millennial and can multitask like nobody else's business. I've sourced things when possible... Let me know if/when there are any additional edits necessary. The link is found: here.
