US-Canada Viewing Party

K · Jan 9, 2003

As a HUGE thank you to all of the soccer fans who voted for Summers as the Best Soccer Bar, Joe will be showing the US-Canada game for free (this is a PPV event so elsewhere it's $20 a head).

Saturday, January 18
7:30 pm

Great move by Joe here. Wish we could make it but we will be at my son's gymnastics meet that night.

Jose L. Couso · Jan 9, 2003

Nice way to start off the new year.

Very do-able

GrillMaster · Jan 9, 2003

I'll ask Joe, Robert or Johnny if we could put a keg (probably empty) on our table just to make Chico, R&B and others feel at home!

Maybe we'll get lucky and the toilet will overflow. It'll be just like partying down on Lot 8.

If it's free, it's me.

This is a large gesture as joe is paying a significant fee to Setanta for the feed. Thanks and Congrats to Summers.

I'd love to get up to Summers some time.

For now, it's still Richmond, where I'm a relative newcomer. Anyone know a place here where they might be showing the game?

Victory · Jan 9, 2003

This is a great gesture by Joe, and I hope the fans continue to reward him with their patronage. Make an effort to watch this game at Summers.

Personally, I will not be there as I will be at the game in person, but I will show Joe my gratitude by drinking a lot on Friday.

I'm going to try and get down for this one.

I wasn't planning on going, but the price is right.

How's the food at Summer's? Is it worth having dinner there before hand?

K · Jan 13, 2003

It's bar food: wings, burgers, burritos, sandwiches, chicken fingers, etc. I think people like the burgers and I know someone who always get the club sandwih (I like the veggie burger and the tostada salad). Fish and chips is good too.

It's decent, not 4 star, but not bad either. Fairly inexpensive as well.

subbuteo · Jan 13, 2003

so what time will people be getting there? I think I might be going by myself while the wife does something else.

SocrStopr13 · Jan 13, 2003

Anyone know if the game is available to Adelphia digital cable in spotsylvania?

Footer Phooter · Jan 13, 2003

My understanding was that it was satellite only, but I could be mistaken.

Steigs · Jan 13, 2003

As an aside, I was at Summers on Sunday. Since I was watching slow-moving, commerical-filled American football, there was time for an extended conversation with Joe. He's moving forward on renovation plans and will likely have to close for 4-6 weeks when the kitchen is closed. He's aiming for the window between the FA Cup final and the Confederations Cup, with a potential grand re-opening for the Confederations Cup in June.

I will be at Summers to watch the game with the psycho fans. I am glad the game time does not conflict with NFL football.
