      <content>The Dram Shop shows all the games and has a killer burger and wings.  It's on 9th st bet 5th and 6th ave.  Also great beers on tap and pool table and shuffleboard table.  The fries are hand-cut from fresh potatoes and i put the burger up against any in brooklyn.</content>

      <content>these wings at Dram are not Killer -- not even close to killer  I tried them last week and as I went to school in Buffalo and cooked at a brew pub for 2 years there I consider myself somewhat an expert of wings

 I was hoping they would be great at Dram as I live within 2 blocks of the bar  man was I dissapointed for my $8  yes the presentation was quite nice  nice plate etc.. but come on this is wings not filet mignon!    for $8 I rec'd 7-- count them 7 ---- wings that were the pigeon size  quantity and size wise if you are charging me $8 they better be at least 10 and the jumbo wing size!! 

as per taste the first thing I noticed is that they were not crispy at all which is the majority of what makes a good buffalo wing   tell that chef that once they float to the top of the fryer don't just take them out  let them go another two minutes    then again when you start with a frozen product it is always hard to tell and I would put everything I know about buffalo wings on the table and guarantee these came straight from a frozen bag.......

they do have a nice beer offering but with so much competition and very high rent in the slope the old adage "build it and the will come" no longer applies

come on Dram shop   get it together  5 items on a menu means that they should all be high quality  start with a crappy cheap inferior product (ie tiny wings) and typically you end up with a product that is crappy

apologies for being so emotional   I take my wings very seriously and even head to the city (down the hatch) when I have a real craving.,...</content>

      <content>I got to agree with you, for 8 dollars i got regular size wings.  there are great wings in Park slope. Wing Night on Tuesdays at the Ale House 50 cent wings.  The Honey wings at 200 fifth are amazing.  Bonnies is not so bad, and their wings are pretty good. 20 wings 11 dollars.

I tried Dram shop wings not long ago, and recieved 6.  What a robbery.  Altho the burger was really good.  Overall is a good place to go drink and enjoy the games, when the TV are on, but get food somewhere else, the quantity is not up to standard when it comes to barfood.</content>

      <content>Never been, but I always see plenty of TVs in the window of Buffalo Wild Wings at Atlantic Terminal.  I know, I know, it's an evil chain restaurant, food is terrible, etc etc.  Just saying it may be an alternative if you can't find your team on TV anywhere. </content>

      <content>I don't want to start a wholly new thread, but is there a place in or near South Slope (I live at 16th/7th) that's likely to have multiple games on at once?  I tried unsuccessfully to find any place close to me last Saturday - you'd think that, given the number of TVs on the wall, one of 12th St. Bar's "bar" room, Brooklyn Burger Bar, Johnny Mack's and whatever that NY Jets bar is at 8th st./7th ave would have a sports package, but none do.  I'm trying to find somewhere to watch the Texas/Stanford game tonight (CBS isn't showing it in this part of the country), and have struck out so far.

Is the Dram shop a likely candidate?  I see all the comments below about the wings; while I'd like "good" bar food, I really don't care as long as I'm not getting hosed and can get a TV with my game on.

Thanks!</content>

      <content>Its not exactly close to you, but Loki Lounge seems to have a sports package (at least during NFL season).  And certainly 200 Fifth.</content>

      <content>Thanks.  I ended up at the Dram Shop on Thursday, then started at Toby's on Friday before moving back to the Dram Shop.  Toby's looks intriguing foodwise - the bread from the oven bodes well for the pizzas, which I didn't get to try - but they couldn't show my game, and frankly were a bit pissy even about switching one of the two TVs showing Sky Sports soccer coverage (which I can guarantee nobody in the bar was watching) to CBS for the game on local TV.

As for the Dram Shop, it fits the bill.  The burger is above average and does indeed come with about a pound of fries, and their beer selection is good enough, not too expensive considering the area ($5 for pretty much any draft), and ice cold.  Nothing to make a trip for, but it's about all the South Slope has these days, and that won't draw any complaints from me.  I'd even give it an edge over the Lighthouse for the nicer bartenders and less drunk/rowdy clientele (I've seen the Lighthouse get ugly on a couple of occasions when the Pats and Jets have games at the same time).</content>
