Fan Connection Watch gatherings for far-flung fans (like mine in Cleveland)

[patrickscribe]

Apologies to moderators if this should be somewhere else. There used to be a thread for this kind of thing a few years ago, but I can't find it now.

For distant fans like me in Cleveland, Ohio, a listing of gatherings to watch with fellow fans would be useful.

In my case, the fan club I started for all Boston teams here years ago, but went on hiatus during and after the pandemic, is reviving. We'll be at the Winking Lizard in Beachwood for the Texans game Sunday. We're rebuilding, so no guarantees of size, but all are welcome to join. Not a "party" as such, but just a gathering point.

We used to be on Meetup, but now just Facebook as Boston Sports Fans in Cleveland.

@n1997y and I are discussing a Murphy's gathering (or other DC area Pats gathering, though I'm pro-Murphy's)

Murphy's Grand Irish Pub
713 King Street
Alexandria, Virginia

Provisional meetup time: 1:45 p.m., to be there when they open the upstairs.

If you're in the Omaha area just come to my house. We'll put some sauce on.

Hearing nothing but crickets.

I used to travel to Cleveland on business about 20 or so years ago and the winking lizard was my favorite spot. Wondered if if was still open

Still open...as a chain. Locations have changed a lot.

Arlington VA (Pentagon City): Watch Patriots vs Texans in NFL Playoffs, Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 2:30 PM | Meetup

For DC/NoVA area situational awareness I’ve also seen the above link on meetup. I’m unfamiliar with the group or the venue. If anyone on here is familiar, or chooses to attend that one this weekend, please post your opinion on it.

I’ve been going to Murphys since the Capitol Lounge closed during the pandemic, and it’s fairly convenient and congenial albeit very crowded, busy, and noisy sometimes. I’m planning to be there tomorrow with Dan (@PatsFanInVa). Please give a shout if you’ll be there and want to find us. It will be helpful to have an idea if others will be joining us so we can stake out enough space. Post here or PM is fine.

Nice offer of hospitality, but it’s a bit far from DC unfortunately. Enjoy! See you in the GDT!

Okay, it’s me and Bruce (@n1997y) at Murphy’s today. Unless you come find us…. We all we got…
