NCAA championship viewing parties
April 6, 2009 at 2:38 pm by Besha Rodell in Events, SportsSigh. Until last night I was totally planning to drive to Chapel Hill today to be part of the madness for tonight’s game. Then the cold, hard reality of 12 hours of driving, a small child, and this stupid thing I have called a job hit, and I realized I’d be watching the game from Atlanta. So we did some research into which venues will be hosting viewing parties and came up with this list. Not sure which party I’ll be hitting yet, but if you see a crazed UNC fan with a bored and sleepy looking little boy at her side, it might be me.
Cheyenne Grill, Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, 2391 Peachtree Road, 404-842-1010, www.cheyennegrill.com. Open until 2 a.m. tonight. UNC-centric crowd expected.
Dantanna’s, 340 Around Lenox Dr., Suite 304, 404-760-8873. www.dantannas.com. Open until 2:30 a.m. tonight.
Engine 11 Firehouse Tavern, 30 North Ave. 404-873-3473. www.engine11atl.com. Open until 3 a.m. tonight.
STATS, 300 Marietta St., 404-885-1472, www.statsatl.com. Open until midnight tonight. 790 the Zone’s Mike Bell and David Pollack will be there from 4-7 p.m. Just FYI, I called STATS last night to see what the chances were of getting a table, and they said it was out of the question. The place is going to be a madhouse, and is where a lot of the UNC alum are planning on going. But if you’re just looking for a sea of baby blue solidarity, this might be the spot.
Taco Mac:
Decatur: 240 Ponce de Leon Ave., 404-378-4140, www.taco-mac.com, open until 2 a.m.
Lindberg City Center: 573 Main St., 404-574-5813, www.taco-mac.com open until 2 a.m.
