MSG pregame bar

[RU at the shore]

Anyone heading up early Saturday to pregame in the city ?

Any suggestions outside of the official pregame at Stout ?

Thinking an 11:00 am arrival via train

Remember, Harper and Ace are "banged up," per Pike. Could get ugly.

Will Stout be open to general public? Or only alumni association ($50)?

Doubt they'd have the entire bar (all floors) taken.

Alumni event will be downstairs. Main floor is open to the public.

More reason to drink heavily beforehand

I've pregamed concerts at American Whiskey before. Cool spot.

Glad I reached out to Stout. Seems the Alumni Association has rented the entire bar for the morning so it is not open to the public. Any one going anywhere else as Plan B? Tough for me to get our group of 10 to pony up $50.

Last time as cool as Stout was, it was ridiculously crowded.

What’s the consensus on where people are going pre game? Would be great to commiserate with others from the boards before heading into the garden

Check out the bar in center Moynihan food hall. Called Irish Exit. Plenty of large tables in food hall for groups. Many food options. More pleasant environment than crowded, dark Stout.

That's a commuter bar.

Anyone know if Stout is open bar/what the food is for the $50? It says food and drinks included but no other details

That's a commuter bar.

On a Saturday morning and early afternoon?!

More like Amtrak passengers and people looking meet up in convenient, spacious location with many dining options.

Good spots would be Mustang Harry's on 7th b/w 29th and 30th or Tracks 31st b/w 7th and 8th. Both are massive spots that open at 11am

Think I’ll be headed to Walter’s.

Tracks right across from the garden. Used to be in Penn.

Got in on an early train and scored a downstairs table at Tir Na Nog. It filled up quickly with a 90/10 mix of RU/MSU fans. Located across the street from the 8/31 street exit and Chase A entrance, it was the perfect MSG pregame location.

Went to Stout for the first time

For the $50 you received two tickets for a drink each

Waiters came around with trays of food..... Small burgers
fries, chicken tenders, margarita pizza,, pigs in a blanket, spring rolls
The food was plentiful enough where trays were eventually not all eaten at the end
Good atmosphere, the band came in and played their RU tunes
Got crowded of course, get there a bit before the opening is advised, line of 100 or so about then
Would do it again, but I would get their 20 minutes before to get good seating
