I'd love to know if there's a Charger Bar in Phx!

[phxjtag]

[onewirechaser]

Hey Charger fans,
Let's try to all meet up at a bar somewhere in the central Phoenix area for the upcoming Monday Night Raider game on Sept 11,2006.
It would be nice to meet some of the Charger fans here in Phoenix, so we can all watch us woop on some Raider butt!
If anyone knows of a good bar in the area with good big screen tv's, Please post.
Lets all do this!!!!:Helmet:

[L.T. 21]

Anybody know of an official bar in Phx yet? :-)

I love that place

[az_bolt_fan]

I was told that the owners of the sports bar on thunderbird and 51st ave from san diego and wear there jerseys during the game. I am planning on trying it the first week.

[Donnie'sTwin]

I live in Peoria and I have been a Chargers fan ALL MY LIFE!! If anyone can name ANY place where there are Chargers games+fans, I WILL BE THERE!!

[Donnie'sTwin]

You don't know the name of the bar??

[grumpynat]

:Football: ...come to Buffalo Wild Wings in Flagstaff....LOTS of Chargers fans!!:Helmet:

[619bolts]

I found this bar on 51st ave and northern, its called connoly's. The owner is from SD, got married there, and all kinds of good stuff. Anyways, there is a big mural of LT on the wall, and the games will be shown every Sunday. Charger bar if I ever saw one.

[azchargergirl]

:Helmet: The Chargers are going to smack down the Raiders this Monday night!! My husband is a Raiders fan and you'd better believe his team will get thier butts kicked!! The :Bolt: 's are going to put the Raiders to shame!! There'll be some Raiders fans sleep'in out on the porch on Monday night!!! GO CHARGERS!!!:Cheers:

[gemnbpcaz]

I kept my season tickets so I go to S.D. for the home games. We have a sports bar here in Anthem and one of the owners is a Charger fan so when the Bolts are on the road, I go there to see my team. Very few Bolt fans but at least I never miss a game.:Bolt: :Helmet: :Beer:

[dmb]

I like 16th Street Bar & Grill (between Bethany Home & Glendale). It's not a Chargers bar, but I wouldn't mind a few more of us showing up there (at least if the game isn't on TV)

[MDChargerFan]

I am moving to Glendale next week. I cant wait to check out some of these places. Hope to meet some of you soon.

I'll be there today if you care to join me.

[belmont]

There's a few of us that go to the Baseline Sports Bar in Tempe. Baseline and Mill.

Its a great place I invite all of you come down this weekend to watch the game.

[leftyinthepen]

as long as i have lived in phoenix, i have not found a *charger bar*...but there are always charger fans at the bars i go to. there used to be a place in tempe that was owned by a guy from san diego, and always had the padre games one, and made sure charger games were on as well. that place is long gone.....

i live in midtown phoenix, and found a place called hazzlewood's on 34th street and indian school. many charger fans go there to watch the games.

i live on 16th and osborne....right down the street

[Mickey]

Hey Lefty In The Pen, I live near you off 16th St. & Indian School Rd. Read your posts about a Chargers sports bar in Phoenix. Been looking for one for 10 years since I moved from Diego. Spoke with the owners of Connolly's, Michelle & Brian. Like what I heard about their establishment & their allegiance to the Bolts. Told them they should pledge you for the post you submitted on this forum site. Look forward to possibly meeting you this Sunday.

Mickey

[leftyinthepen]

i just piggybacked another poster.....i forgot who it was, but they mentioned it before me....

but if it gets me a free beer or 15, and some food.....i'm all for it

[Psychosis13]

Ok, so is anyone getting together anywhere mentioned in the previous posts?

[leftyinthepen]

i will be there around 11AM.....

i will be wearing my powder blue seau jersey......

[BCBoltFan]

I'd love to know if there's a Charger Bar in Phx!

I sense a business opportunity...

[SJSUPhil]

Has anyone seen Bobby Ross around? He's still the only Coach to get our Chargers to a Super Bowl.

[MDChargerFan]

He is busy coaching Army to another losing record.

[Palermo10]

Bump. Add another Bolts backer to the list of Glendale residents! I'm moving in June 4 so I should be all settled by the time preseason rolls around.

Anyways just subscribing myself to this thread :)

[SDMarianna]

I was happy to find very fun groups of diehard Chargers fans at Zipps Sports Grill in North Scottsdale (on Frank Lloyd Wright). It is a great place, but it gets packed quickly, food is great, good drink specials, lots of big screens, not as uppity as Fox Sports Grill...and best of all, GREAT CHARGERS FANS can be found there!!! :Bolt:

[leftyinthepen]

Zipps is a great place. I haven't been to the one in north Scottsdale, but the one in Old Towne Scottsdale, and in Chandler are fun.

Connolly's in Glendale is still the best Charger bar in town.

[jonneil]

I agree with SDMarianna about Zipps in North Scottsdale. My wife and I met her, and a couple of other fun Charger fans at Zipps last season. Great Food and bartenders at Zipps. Lets try to get more die hard Chargers fans there in 2007. Go CHARGERS!!!!!!!

[Tony Wilson]

I work at the zipps off of FLW on Tuesdays. Just bought my season tickets, so i'll be making the trek to the murph (Q) whatever! I'm also going to the Pats and broncos away games. It's going to be a blast!

Tony - are you going to be driving or flying back and forth for those games ? Because if you're driving, I may want a ride

[Tony Wilson]

Tony - are you going to be driving or flying back and forth for those games ? Because if you're driving, I may want a ride

probably drive more than fly. The first couple games i'm going to make a 3 day trip out it! It's a good possibility that you could catch a ride for some of them. Pm me if your really interested.

[espanto619]

Make sure you guys check in with me well before your trip to Denver, as I live out here and throw a huge tailgate every year!!!!!

[ActionJackson]

I've been to a few bars mentioned in here and CONNELY'S on 51st and Northern is BY FAR the best CHARGERS BAR in Phoenix, it's not just a generic sports bar. It is DEDICATED to the CHARGERS.

[espanto619]

So who all on here is going to the pre-season blowout on 8/25??? I know Palmero will be there, and so will I.

[leftyinthepen]

the game in AZ??? man, that is a lot of money for a pre-season game.....i'm tailgating at the game, but not paying to get in, no way

[espanto619]

Do wutcha gotta do bro...I scored my tix on ebay for $20ea...Sec 135 Row 3...I dont consider that expensive at all!!! See ya at the tailgate.

[Palermo10]

the game in AZ??? man, that is a lot of money for a pre-season game.....i'm tailgating at the game, but not paying to get in, no way


Yeah dude, you can get 'em cheap on eBay still. We paid $37 a ticket (126 row 7 I think) but that's because I have bought other tickets from the guy and I trust him.

When it gets closer to time we will have to organize something. I wish I had a pool, we could combine pool party with tailgating with game! :LightsOut:

Is that 51st Ave or Street? Because if its Ave (on the West side) then I can totally go there.

I am just now learning my way around the city :Beer: The girlfriend was in town this weekend and today I actually made the entire 101 loop around the city. Eh... And I have to buy 91 gas. I bought 89 today because I'm cheap. :LightsOut:

[ActionJackson]

So who all on here is going to the pre-season blowout on 8/25??? I know Palmero will be there, and so will I.

Are you talking about the bar or the stadium in Glendale? Me and 3 other CHARGER fans are going to the game. GO TO CONNELLY'S DURING THE SEASON!

[ActionJackson]

YES 51st Ave. West Side. The Owner is a Charger fan and gets the patron riled up. Welcome to Phoenix, I've been here for 13 months. "Eh". As for tickets to the AZ game, I got 4 for $23 each on ebay. There's no excuse not to go!

[Palermo10]

Ok great - I will plan on catching some games at Connellys

[leftyinthepen]

Yup bro for sure...we'll definitely have to put somethin together!

you are so cheap!!

[leftyinthepen]

you are so cheap!!

maybe so....but like i care what you think...

if you want to spend good money on a 1/2 a product, that is your business. i don't think anything less of anyone who wants to do it....

[bcoger]

i am going to the game and am actually going to be moving to Mesa. Where is a good place to watch the game in that area.

[leftyinthepen]

Not sure about Mesa. Although the woodshed II is a great sports bar. For the Charger bar, head out to Connolly's. It has posters of LT and many Charger memorabilia hanging about.

I work in Mesa, or at least I will when I start my new job in a bout 3 weeks.

[ActionJackson]

Yeah, Mesa is kind of far, but there's one thing any San Diegan moving to Phoenix will realize. No drive across town is too far!
There are still plenty of $20-30 tickets to the Cardinals pre-season game on ebay. Although we all know preseason royally sucks, it would be great to fill seats with blue. I'll be at the Yardhouse or Coyote's by the stadium before the game with 3 other Chargers fans. Come join.

[Palermo10]

Do you mean Gordon Biersch?

[ActionJackson]

Gordon Biersch! That's it. 4 of us are all getting pumped at Gordon Biersch before the preseason game.

[Palermo10]

The Yardhouse is much better... I dont drink beer but I've eaten food from both places and Gordon Biersch food is vomit...

[daboltfan13]

Pheonix Is Vomit!Unlike True Blue sunny "N" fresh Cali!
I Still have an extra seattle seahawks ticket waiting on you lefty?

[dolemite]

Here's the Google Map Location to Connolly's.

I'll be in Phoenix for some of the games! Can't wait!

[Palermo10]

I'll be in Phoenix for some of the games! Can't wait!


Do you like hockey too? :)

[Palermo10]

I put the Cardinals and Bolts schedules on my Outlook Calendar, and there are some weekends where the Cardinals are at home when we are too:

September 30
October 14
November 11 (but we play that night)
November 25


Plus I think there are some where the Cardinals are away but they still have the TV rights in the area and we'd have to go anyways

[ActionJackson]

If my calculations are correct, there will be 4 guaranteed televised Charger games in Phoenix and another 4 probable games according to FOX and CBS 2007 national schedules. This leaves 8 games at Connelly's for sure. I'll bring the schedule.

[Palermo10]

We are guaranteed the Bears, Colts, and Broncos games because they are national TV, I know that much.

[jwrzeski]

Does anyone have information on a decent hotel close to the stadium?

[Palermo10]

If it's not Super Bowl week, the Marriott should be done soon. Are you asking because you're coming for the preseason game?

[jwrzeski]

yes, looking for a place to stay that is as close as possible to the stadium for preseason game that is decent

[Palermo10]

The Renaissance won't be done until September, which is too bad. It'd be perfect!

When my family visits, they stay at the Hampton Inn (Peoria) at 83rd and Bell. Its just about 10 minutes on the 101 north of Westgate, and theres tons of places to eat around it, as Bell is a busy street. (Its right by where the Padres come for spring training also)

thank you for the info

[Palermo10]

Drove past Connollys today on my way to play soccer. Now I know where it is, woo. It's about 8 minutes from my house.

[Tony Wilson]

I wanna go to Connolly's, but damn it's far from me.(Chandler) I'll check it out Aug. 25 before the Charger game!:Beer::Beer::Beer: See ya there! I just bought the new LT jersey! It's tight powder blue:21:

[ActionJackson]

4 fo us will most likely be at Gordon Biersch before the game for beers and won't be hard to miss. come join

[Palermo10]

If you guys want to start the day really early, you're welcome to come to my house, its a mile away

[bcoger]

Moving to Mesa, where can we all meet up to watch games.

[Palermo10]

It sounds like Connellys is where everyone gets together. Mesa is pretty far from there, but if your Sundays are free, go for it. I'll probably be there, but its only 3 miles away from me.

[bcoger]

who is going to the Bolts pre-season game in AZ?

[bcoger]

i'll be there section 121.

[Tony Wilson]

I work at Zipps in Gilbert.(Warner and Gilbert)Awesome viewing for all games! Connolly's is to far for me, but i'll at least check it out for 1 game. I'm not to familiar with Mesa. Zipps is pretty close though.

[espanto619]

i'll be there section 121.
I'll be there in Sec 135...it looks like we should hook up at Connely's pre-game unless you locals feel like throwing together a tailgate...i will be flying in so let me know.

[Palermo10]

I would be willing to host a BBQ/tailgate... I live 5 minutes from the Stadium, we have a big house with a big kitchen and a big backyard. We only have a Weber grill so if people want to bring their grill that'd be nice

[Tony Wilson]

anybody from phoenix area going to the Seattle preseason game this sunday night? Not sure if i'm going so i'll have 2 tickets to give up!

[Palermo10]

Nah, I'd love to but my friends are coming into town for my birthday. I could ask them if they want 2 tickets, I dont know when they are going back ?

[Palermo10]

Hey -

Anybody getting together for Sunday's preseason game against Seattle?

[leftyinthepen]

Hey -

Anybody getting together for Sunday's preseason game against Seattle?

my roommates are a bunch of guys from seattle....this should be fun. if it was a regular season game, i would wager my rent...

[dolemite]

So where is everyone meeting for the Seattle game? Connolly's in Glendale?

[Palermo10]

So where is everyone meeting for the Seattle game? Connolly's in Glendale?

I'll either do that or watch at my house, just a few miles down Northern.

PS if anybody in Phoenix is hiring... I need a job !

[SDMarianna]

The Neils are GREAT CHARGERS FANS! I had so much fun last season at Zipps on FLW with them. I moved down to Chandler, but I am willing to commute back to North Scottsdale to be surrounded by good people like the Neils and other Chargers faithful. I will have to Mapquest Connolly's, too and try to get out there for a game or two! Isn't it great we have a preseason game nationally televised??? GO BOLTS! :Bolt:

[dolemite]

Let's figure something out too. Zipps on Camelback is a great place and ALWAYS packed. However, if Connoly's is truly a Chargers bar, let's do it!

[kcpike11]

I also heard that Maloney's on Shea in N. Scottsdale will be a Chargers bar. I'll confirm that once the season gets going since I live fairly close to it.

[Chargers1898]

New to the site... has anyone confirmed a bar in Phoenix that is dedicated to the Chargers?

[CJEpps]

Shoot, if i have the day off to go, i may have to make the trip up to Zipps in Scottsdale or Connoly's even.
Are there any good ones in Chandler?

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

Im in avondale. If people here decide to meet up somewhere post address here please. I am a true bolts fan and would love to STAND UP AND YELL AT THE TV WITH SOME MORE CHARGER FANS! :) :LightsOut:

[cesar71]

I'm new to the area and looking for Charger fans and a good bar to go to in the Mesa area. If you know of one, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

[SDMarianna]

I have lived in Chandler for 8 months now, and have yet to find a Chargers bar anywhere in the Chandler/Gilbert/Mesa area. Connelly's is too far for me.

Went to Zipps on Frank Lloyd Wright and 100th St in N. Scottsdale to watch the Chargers beat the Bears, met up with the Neils (very cool couple), and once again Zipps did not disappoint...quite a few Chargers fans there today! There were an awful lot of Pats fans there, though, so I am sure there will be plenty of Mass-holes there next weekend :eek:
I won't be there for that game, but that will be my place for the rest of the season, unless I am back home watching at the Q! :Bolt:

[Palermo10]

The problem I have with going to Connellys is that I love watching games at home on my 46" HDTV with surround. And my roommate is on crutches from ACL surgery.

If the game on the 23rd isn't on local TV I'll head over there. In the meantime you guys are all welcome Sunday night. I'm skipping my soccer game. Oops.

[SDHEATCHARGER21]

Section 224, three in row 20 three in row 21. Aisle seats

[SDMarianna]

I won't be at Zipps for Chargers at Patriots on 9/16 (because I am a classy Chargers girl and don't want to get into a brawl with a bunch of neanderthal, cheater-loving, Mass-hole Patsy fans), however, you can count on me being at Zipps on Frank Lloyd Wright & 100th St, in the BAR area for:

[Palermo10]

Yeah but you're closer to Connellys at 51st ave and Northern. From what I've heard thats a good spot. Do they open at 10am?

[leftyinthepen]

Connellys is the best charger bar in town. pics of LT on the wall, charger gear everywhere....oh yeah, don't forget the stripper pole in the corner....

if i don't get to my buddy's house, the one with the NFL ticket, and 3 flat screens, i'll be at connely's

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

Yeah but you're closer to Connellys at 51st ave and Northern. From what I've heard thats a good spot. Do they open at 10am?
Im also 20 years old...lol. I wonder if theyll let me in. :) Hmmm they have a myspace ima send them a message.

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

They said it was fine but i have to sit at the tables. Ok so i went to the native new yorker. It was ok seems like every nfl team had a fan there. There were about 4 charger tables which was good...next week we'll see where i end up, possibly connely's.








DENVERS DOWN 20-7 3rdqtr wit 7:35 left.

[SDMarianna]

For those in the East Valley, my neighbor just told me there were a lot of Chargers fans in the bar at Native New Yorker in Chandler/Ocotillo (Alma School just past Ocotillo Rd) last weekend.

I, however, will be at Zipps in North Scottsdale to see the Kansas City Q*eefs get a beatdown from the Chargers, who will turn the corner on Sunday!

I will be wearing my new powder blue 21 jersey, and will be there with equally well-attired diehard Charger fans. Feel free to come up and say hi!

:Bolt:

[Palermo10]

Anybody here have Cardinals tickets that they want to trade for Chargers tickets? Maybe a Lions for Lions swap?

I called Connolly's today because we want to see the Denver game, and I asked if they were going to show the game - "Yes, we are a Chargers bar"

I think that sums it up :)

I'm heading there for the Raiders game.

Be there!!!

[Palermo10]

I'm heading there for the Raiders game.

Be there!!!

The gf is in town and I think we are staying home to make some ribs and watch the Cardinals (I Know!)

But Connollys is a sweet ass place. The only weird part was when 2 strippers came in to practice.....

[CJEpps]

strippers came in to practice??? what??
shoot i may have to drive my happy ass up to Connolly's from Chandler!
hehe.
That'd be tight though to watch it with a bunch of SD fans. :)
Hmmm.....either that or check it out @ Native New Yorker down off Ocotillo.

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

I went to connelys a couple weeks ago for the grrenbay game but there was only like 4 guys in there and they werent bolt fans. :( Ive been goin to Native New Yorker at the estrella parkway in goodyear. First couple of weeks there were bolt fans there but not lately. Thats where ill be every weekend.

That's weird... because last week there were more than 10. I didnt go this weekend but I'll be there for the Nov 4 game and beyond

[Tijuas]

Hey, what's up? I just joined up to the forum, but (unfortunately) I'm not old enough to go to a bar in the Phoenix area. Anyway, I just wanted to say, "Go Bolts, baby!"

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

That's weird... because last week there were more than 10. I didnt go this weekend but I'll be there for the Nov 4 game and beyond
Hmm maybe that was the only week that there were no charger people there. lol. They have a myspace and the bolts are their number one so im sure its a good place when theres alot of people.

[AZSDBoltzFan]

Connollys is a good spot, I travel 35 miles to get there from Mesa. I meet my buddy there there is always at least 10 charger fans there and we are all rowdy and into the games. The owner is a Mark McGwire look alike but he is a huge fan and his wife is nice to look at and is super cool. Its a small little neighborhood bar like you would see in PB. Decent food and about 8 different beers on tap. Two weekends ago the female bartender was flashing everybody, tits and ass you wouldnt see that in a larger bar which is nice........ did i mention the stripper pole, Sundays nights are wacky!! GO CHARGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SJSUPhil]

Hey Arizona fans. I know you like the Chargers, but do you really have to invade San Diego all at once? The traffic there is already a nightmare. Whenever I go to San Diego I sure see alot of Arizona license plates. Spread it out some. Thank you!

We have to re-connect with the mother ship or else we go nuts. That and babes.

[dolemite]

If the Chargers come to Glendale for the Game on Sunday is everyone ready to mobilize for the game?!?!?

Let's do it if the game is moved.

[MDChargerFan]

I'm already making plans

[MDChargerFan]

Last year after the games the girls put on their shows

[ActionJackson]

I was there. The practicing strippers were a nice distraction. Although they didn't get naked, it was quite nice.

[ActionJackson]

Other than seeing a game live, connelly's is the funnest place to watch the Chargers. Even if the game is televised, I go to connelly's.

[PHXBOLTZFAN]

hey hows it goin guys?i'm new to the forum & its good to know that there actually is other sd fans in az,im so sick of seeing nothing but raiderette fans.i usually watch the games at the Hooters on 83rd ave n bell rd but im usually the only bolts fan there.dont get me wrong,i love watching the bolts play around a bunch of hot 21 yr olds but it would be cool to have other fans there. after reading this thread it sounds like connelys might be a cool place to watch the game so ill be up there this sunday to watch chambers,gates,n lt dismantle houston. anyone else goin there?

[SD.LIGHTSOUT]

ill be at the native new yorker in the estrella parkway more than likely.

[Palermo10]

I was in LA all weekend. I plan on being at Connolly's Sunday for the Vikings game.

And SDLIGHTSOUT, they don't check ID or anything, it's a pretty cool place with a full food menu - and its all cheap.

10am Sunday ******* - BE THERE!!

[ActionJackson]

REMEMBER THE TIME CHANGE!!!

My and my small crew will be there as usual. But to all who are going to Conelly's (51st and Northern) know this...
A good friend of mine will be there with his Vikings jersey rooting for his home team. Let's all make him feel welcome if you know what I mean. To him, everyone from San Diego is gay. His name is Jad. Buy him some drinks cuz he'll need it.

[Palermo10]

Youre right - 11am on Sunday!

[bukbugzy619]

actionjackson ur friends da one wearing purple and he thinks were gay ahahhahah lmfao!!!!!!!!!!

[bukbugzy619]

tell him to sukkkk on it lol hahaha!!!!

[ActionJackson]

Get all your Charger Fan friends to show up!

[ActionJackson]

Sorry, I have to officially retract my statement regarding my good friend the Vikings fan. He never said San Diegans were gay. He's a secret Chargers fan and a good guy. He knows Charger fans are classy and won't be dicks to him besides some good natured ribbing. We'll see you on Sunday.

[JBone]

Man, sounds like a good time!! :LightsOut:

I'm glad to see a Charger base finally building out here. I've been out here since 02 and have yet to see another Charger fan in the South East Valley.

[SDMarianna]

If you are in Scottsdale or the East Valley, come up to Zipps on Frank Lloyd Wright and 100th St - it only takes me 20 minutes to get there from Chandler/Ocotillo. We have a blast up there, it gets packed pretty quickly, we usually grab a table at the bar.

If North Scottsdale is too far, you can check out Native New Yorker in Chandler (I had mentioned it is on S. Alma School near Ocotillo Rd, but I drove by the other day and it is just before you hit Chandler Heights Blvd, so about 3 blocks south of Ocotillo Rd). My neighbors have been going there, fun group gathers in the bar, although they said you do get a bit of the Sun Lakes (old) crowd there cheering for the Vikings :crazy: or the Packers!

Connelly's is just too far for this East sider, and being a girl, it is a little too dark an environment for me. No offense, it is a great place for some rough and tough, diehard Chargers fans! :Cheers:

So, I am off to Zipps in North Scottsdale today to meet up with my favorite Chargers fans and hope some of you can head up there, too!

[ActionJackson]

SDMarianna is exactly right. Connelly's is for diehard fans and from what I know is the ONLY bar and grill 100% dedicated to the Bolts. There's a lot of yelling at the TVs, high fives, and flowing drinks. But don't be afraid ladies, San Diego keeps it classy.

We brought my roommate's girlfriend last time, she had fun. We aren't like those a*shole Patriots or Faider fans!

[AZSDBoltzFan]

Ill never go to Connellys again, that place a Charger bar...i dont think so. Viqueens bar instead i wanted to bash open some heads today. The owners are never there and there is no eye candy. Action Jackson keep your gay Viqueen fans away fron a so called Charger bar or they will get hurt!!:19:

[Palermo10]

Ok buddy

10 characters

[ActionJackson]

eh.... On a positive note; the viqueen "fan" brought 2 friends because no viqueens bar exists...Stay classy San Diego.

[Palermo10]

Two tickets for tomorrows Cards game - lower level - face is $120 but I'm selling at $90. Can be emailed. Lemme know!

[leftyinthepen]

i sure hope can find an RV with the game after the nascar race today.....

[MaGG]

Man, I went to Zipps on FLR and 100th yesterday and I was the only one there in a Bolts jersey! What's the deal guys! :P

I'm thinking about checking out Connolly's, but it's so far from me, I'm out in Tempe...anybody know anything definitive that's closer to the Mesa/Chandler/Tempe area?

If nowhere out here, are any of you guys meeting up this weekend for the Jacksonville game?

[Palermo10]

I plan on being at Connollys Sunday for the Jags game. I had my gf in town and I know Louie was in SD for last nights game, so the numbers at Connollys might have been less.

[MaGG]

Aiight, it's a bit far for me, but I might consider taking a trip down there just to see what the joint is like. Hopefully I'll see you guys there!

[leftyinthepen]

i got to connolly's right before halftime...it was okay...not like the last few times i was there....many haters there too.....still, it's the only charger bar in town

[ActionJackson]

I wasn't there either. Like any bar, there won't be a lot of fans if the game is on network TV. Haters? Anyway, I'll have 2 or 3 of us again this week for the Jags. You should check it out Lefty, it's a fun time.

[leftyinthepen]

yeah, haters.....just people rooting against the chargers...but nothing too bad...

living in chandler, i usually don't make it out that way, but we were on our way home from the race, and finished the game there.....

[MaGG]

Lefty, where in Chandler do you live? I'll meet up out here, as I'm in Tempe, and that's for damn sure closer than Connolly's :p

[MaGG]

Aiight you Chandler/Mesa/Tempe people, this weekend I went to the Tilted Kilt and ended up running into a few Chargers fans that have been going there every weekend since the season started! How about we start meeting up there, if you live in this area? I plan on going out there the rest of the season, if not for the fans, then for the waitresses! :D

the tilted kilt rules....it was my regular bar there when i lived in the area....it is also right next door to the Cardinals complex, sometimes some of the crew from the cards will go in there as well....and some of their cheerleaders too....

[MaGG]

Are you talking about the one in Scottsdale or Tempe?

Sorry we missed you at Zipps on FLW for the Chargers-Colts! I went to San Diego to watch the Chargers pick off Satan Manning 6 times and send those ponies back to Indiana so Satan can go make more commercials! I think since it was the Sunday Night game on NBC, a lot of people stayed home to watch it. But we are back and have been representing at the bar at Zipps ever since. You will always find me wearing the #21 jersey, either the powder blue alternate or the home jersey, and a few equally well-dressed Chargers fans with me!

We will be in San Diego for the Christmas Eve game vs the Donkos, but Zipps on FLW and 100th St is our place any other time. They do not open until 11 AM, which sucks because the Chargers-Titans game starts right when they open, but I will find my spot at the bar, powder blue #21 jersey on, hope to see more Chargers fans there! :logo

[SDMarianna]

I am the lone ranger in my group today, so I am hitting Zipps on 101 and Ray Rd in Chandler. Any Chandler/Tempe fans looking for a place to go, they open at 11 today, GAME TIME! Will be at the bar :Bolt: Look for the blonde in the dress cheering for the bolts!

[leftyinthepen]

a lot of my buddies are there today....two, very large hulking twins, with at least one guy who talks a mile a minute....they are from washington, so they are rooting for the seahawks, and one short bald guy is rooting for the cowboys....

i will try to be there later

[Palermo10]

I'm a recent transplant to the NW side of Phoenix
and may be returning to SD soon.

My buddy and I went to Uncle Charlies on Bell and 51st Ave
to se the Bolts last Sunday. Lots of Cowboy fans and later the
Pats were well represented.
When we won in OT, the only cheering was at our table.

BTW You can post sports threads on a new site
in San Diego at sdboss.com.

If you live in NW Phoenix, theres no reason not to be at Connollys!!! The place was rockin for the OT victory on Sunday :) :layup

[borncaligirl]

Born and raised in San Diego, live in Mesa now... Love, and always have loved the Chargers.. Just went to the game over the weekend. I'm so excited every time I get to see the Chargers play..in person or on T.V. Being in AZ., we're stuck with the Cardinals.. much rather be watching Chargers every week..
I'm proud of you team...I'm pleased we have so many going to the Pro Bowl... and I'm just ecstatic being a fan.. raised my children the same way..:)

[SupaBolt]

I was in Scottsdale when the Bolts played the Ravens. I go to AZ to visit my mom every now and then and didn't know where to go. I ended up at Fox Sports grill on Scottsdale Rd. There were a few other chargers fans there and we pretty much had a a whole section to ourselves with 2 HD tvs and poll tables. I am going to be in Scottsdale this weekend and wouldn't mind heading out to see the Donks game. Anyone know of a good place?

[MaGG]

If you read a couple posts back, there's a few of us who go to Zipps in Scottsdale, which is on 100th St. and Frank Lloyd Right. I've been there to watch a game, it's a pretty nice place and they serve 32oz beers! :eek: :Beer:

I'm personally out in the Southeast valley [Tempe area], so I don't go up there often, but I'm sure a few of us will be there, although it is Christmas Eve so you might want to find out.

Come to think of it, I'll actually be at my dad's house for the Holiday, which is up in that area, so I might stop by.

[leftyinthepen]

the zipps in north scottsdale is okay....

the zipps in chandler is better

but, the only charger bar in town is at Connolly's. this is not just a few charger fans hanging out and exchanging high 5's, but actual charger fans, with an LT fathead on the wall, and a charger helmet fathead on the wall, with charger stuff everywhere.....

the owner's wife is from san diego.....we are talking about a bunch of charger fans....it is well worth the trip....

unfortunately, i won't be there until the first playoff game.....but i will drive that far just to be there....it is a great place to watch the game, and you feel at home with all the charger fans.....

these other places are okay, but instead of going to a zipps to try and find another charger fan, you go to connolly's, and they welcome you as if you are one of them....because you are

[Palermo10]

Dude

If any of you desert CHARGER fans are going back for the first playoff game, let me know. I'm driving to SD after work on the 4th, and back on the 6th. I live in Glendale, right by the stadium. It'd be nice to share some gas. If any of you from Connollys are going you'd recognize me.

Zipps closes at 6pm on Xmas eve:(

[SupaBolt]

Lame... any place thats open?

[belmont]

I live right by the Zipps in Chandler. But we go to Native New Yorker on Broadway for the games. There's usually several other Bolt fans there, too. I'll be out of town for Monday's game though.

[LT21SD619]

Does anyone live or go to Mesa or Gilbert area? There is a great Charger bar and we love it!

[MaGG]

I live in Tempe, which borders Mesa, depending on how deep you are. Crap, sucks that Zipps closes so early that day, I might have to find somewhere else to go...

[Palermo10]

Is Connollys going to be open Monday night? My fam actually wants to go, haha

[leftyinthepen]

okay phoenix fans....time for you to come out....

this sunday, at Connolly's....be there or be square....

i know it is far for some of us, but well worth the trip....you are not going to a bar and hoping to find a couple of fellow charger fans to high five during the game, you are going to a bar filled with charger fans throughout.....

i think the wife of the owner is from san diego...helix high if i remember correctly.....

plus the stripper pole.....

[leftyinthepen]

roll call for connolly's today.....

me
my girlfriend
about 200 other charger fans....

i got the LT jersey, she has an old power blue #55 jersey

[Palermo10]

Sorry guys, I stayed home today. I had the house to myself and I am such a wreck during these big games that I didn't feel it was appropriate for public. I'll be out of town next weekend so I'll be back for the 08 season!

I wish I could join u and the rest of our loyal crowd there Sunday, but the ex would try and take my visitation away if I brought my 4 yr old in.

[MaGG]

I'm thinking about coming through, but I'm real superstitious about watching it other than where I usually watch, because they've been winning so far! Lol.

If we make it to the Super Bowl, how many of you guys are going? Or, if you're not going, how many are just showing up to tailgate? I'm TOTALLY there to tailgate, if I can't get a ticket.

[Palermo10]

I wish I could join u and the rest of our loyal crowd there Sunday, but the ex would try and take my visitation away if I brought my 4 yr old in.

Its a friendly place - the owner has young daughters and a son that cant be older than 7, and they come in.

[MDChargerFan]

good luck

[CJEpps]

Thankfully my service mgr gave me sunday off. I think he did it so I could watch the Bolts.... :) :)
I think I may have to go all the way up to Connolly's for this game....unless there's another one closer to Chandler with a huge SD showing....like Native New Yorker on Broadway? or Zipps in Chandler? a buddy of mine's a mgr there so maybe I'll give that a shot. I just wanna be around a bunch of Charger fans.......wheeeeee!

GO CHARGERS!!!!!

[leftyinthepen]

my girlfriend and i came down with something nasty....not going anywhere today, but the couch....

damn, i am going to miss connolly's today

[bcoger]

watching the Pats game from home, but will be working at the stadium on Super Bowl Sunday.

[AZLightsOut19]

damn, i am going to miss connolly's today[/quote]

I never made it down to Connolly's this season, mainly 'cause my dad and I had the NFL package on Direct TV. However I am going to try and make it over there in the '08 season. I can't wait to meet some fellow Charger fans here in Phoenix.

[MaGG]

I never went just because it was too effin' far...maybe this next season I'll manage to take a trip down there.

[juner83]

Me and the fam are in Manistee Ranch. I always drive by Connolly's......definately gonna have to check it out next season!:logo:logo

[leftyinthepen]

i live in chandler, and it is well worth the drive....

What's it like in the off season? Still worthy of making a trip out there, or only when the games are on?

[leftyinthepen]

sunday nights there are pretty impressive...

[AZLightsOut19]

I am planing on trying out the Connolly's thing for St. Patricks Day. I think we are going to do it Sunday night as opposed to Monday. I know you all said it was way fun and the MySpace pics. seem to back that up. However I want to check it out before I decide not to buy the NFL Sunday Ticket on DirectTV and spend my Sundays with fellow Charger fans. I hope some of you will be down there as well.

Hadnt thought about Connollys for St Paddys day - thats a good idea. However, doubtful that you will get a lot of Charger fans there. Still a cool place

[chopps22]

the only football fans they got in phx. az. are 49er fans and cowboy fans and now probably patriot fans for the longest az had no team so they had to ban wagen on the best at the time i havent been back since 2001 but i know at that time you didnt see cardinal fans any where. hopefully the zonies appreciate now the fact that they have a pro football team . and start backing the home team.. signed 1 1904 chargers fan until the wheels fall off from 1-15 to 11-5 i dont care thats my team im from san diego so thats where the hart is now you probably see giants fans all over phx. now....

Ummmmm.... Punctuation????

I read this post 3 times and I still don't get it.

What I did get is that you dont think that there are any Charger fans in Arizona. To correct you sir, there are A LOT of Charger fans out here. Most of us moved here from San Diego for any number of reasons. Personally, I moved here for school. As for the numerious amount of others, I don't really know. Regardless, there are a BUNCH of ex San Diegans in the desert.

yes, plenty of ex-san diegans here in the valley of the sun....and plenty of charger and padre fans that have not let go of those roots....

arizona has always been dallas cowboy country...before they had their own team, the cowboys were the #1 team in the AZ.....everyone here who was here before the cards, either absolutelyloves the cowboys, or absolutely loathes them....there is no in between...for baseball, it was always the giants....they were here for spring training first and the longest, and the minor league team was the giants AAA team forever.....

don't forget, phoenix, much like southern california, has a huge transplant population, and many if not all of those people do not lose their love for their original teams.....

Here's just one example chops. I was born in 1970 in Tucson Az. Been a Charger fan going on 30 years! Probably longer than you ehhh? Lots of ups and downs, but i will always be a huge fan till my death! The people you talk about are definitely not on this site, so don't bring your naive *** here! I love the city of San Diego and have always thought of moving there, but AZ is home to me.

I am a native San Diegan (and a Charger fan for 46 or my 52 years) whose last job in the Navy was in Phoenix (yes, I know there is no ocean here but there is a Navy presence nonetheless). I was given the option of here or San Francisco as the "twilight tour" of my 25-year career and I chose here for one very obvious reason; even though a senior officer, trying to live in a decent home anywhere in the Bay Area with a wife and three children would have bankrupted me.

So the desert it was and I have never looked back. I have a very nice, very affordable home (compared to San Diego); I sold the home I owned in Oceanside at a very nice profit, and as a second career I teach high school history and coach some football (which I have done off and on over the years as my military duties would allow) so it's all good. My kids have lived here longer (seven years) than anywhere else, and while San Diego will always be "home," Arizona is where I have chosen to put down new roots. I love Phoenix and even though there is no beach, I do have my backyard bay, and like San Diego, there is plenty to do both indoors and out. I just wish the Cards were in the AFC West so that I could see the Chargers in person at least once per year. Otherwise, my DirecTV puts me front row center for all of the Bolts games.

[Palermo10]

I am a native San Diegan (and a Charger fan for 46 or my 52 years) whose last job in the Navy was in Phoenix (yes, I know there is no ocean here but there is a Navy presence nonetheless). I was given the option of here or San Francisco as the "twilight tour" of my 25-year career and I chose here for one very obvious reason; even though a senior officer, trying to live in a decent home anywhere in the Bay Area with a wife and three children would have bankrupted me.

So the desert it was and I have never looked back. I have a very nice, very affordable home (compared to San Diego); I sold the home I owned in Oceanside at a very nice profit, and as a second career I teach high school history and coach some football (which I have done off and on over the years as my military duties would allow) so it's all good.

You live in Arrowhead too? (on the lake)

You going to join us at Connolly's this fall?

You going to join us at Connolly's this fall?

Actually north of Arrowhead by about two or three miles; a newer area called "Stetson Hills" just off Happy Valley Road and three or four miles west of I-17. Ours was one of the first families in the development back in 2001 (I fell into a spec home when I was out from DC house hunting, that the original buyer had to back out of because the home they were living in wouldn't sell . . . the wife's "dream home" by pure chance because otherwise they were out of inventory in that model and weren't going to build anymore . . . I often think there are/were "other forces" that wanted me to stay here and teach and coach, because it sure wasn't the money, LOL!:rolleyes:). The high school my kids attend is Sandra Day O'Connor which is about a mile and one-half to the east of me, if that means anything.

Anyway, I would love to join you and other fellow fans at Connolly's if I can convince "She Who Must Be Obeyed" that my Sunday afternoons should be spent in a local sports bar having (shock) fun! As far as she's concerned, even after 35 years of me trying to teach her the game and me having been a high school player and on again off again coach, NFL stands for "No Fun League." I shall work on her. BTW, being Irish, the St. Patrick's Day stuff sounds ready made for me too!:Cheers:

I am trying out this Connelys thing this year at least for a few games. I just bought a new 57" HD so I would like to enjoy some games on that as well. But I will for sure join the bolt party at 51st Ave. and Northern for at least a few games. Oh yeah and I am going for the trifecta.... Making the trip back "home" and popping a squat at the Q for my first Charger game in quite some time!!!! I can't wait!!!

[Palermo10]

If anybody plans a caravan to a game this year, it'd be cool to get all the AZ people to go. We could probably rent a van/split gas and save money. I'm flying to the Jets game but after that I dont have any immediate plans.

Most of us probably have to work M-F but if we were able to leave early on a Friday and come back Sunday evening itd be a fun weekend.

[AZLightsOut19]

I am down! But how are you coming back on Sunday whrn thats a Monday night game?

[ActionJackson]

For anyone on this threat who is a Charger Fan and doesn't know where to go, Connely's IS the place. period.
For those on this thread who say Connely's isn't 'hard core' enough or isn't that nice, please offer a better option in Phoenix where you find exclusively Chargers fans in one place. you can't.

[AZLightsOut19]

I havent been to Conellys yet but I will go this year for sure!!! I have already been down there after a Padres spring training game and loved it, I cant wait for Sundays there. I will say I wont be there Monday night on Sept 22.... I will be at the Q whitnessing us beating the crap out of the Jets!!!!

[Tony Wilson]

Anybody going to home opener? Considering carpooling. Room for 2. I live in Chandler.

[BoltsnAZ]

Hello all. Brand new to the thread and wanted to get involved. Grew up in SD and have lived in AZ now about 3 years.

We have a pretty good Charger following that goes to the Zipps on Frank Lloyd Wright and 100th St in N Scottsdale and will be there all this season as well.

All real good people (and real good drinker) so feel free to meet up this season.

Let me know if you are aware of any other Charger bars as well.

[mullenium]

Just bought a house in Maricopa

Anyone live this far east / south and know any good places to go watch the games?

Glendale is a bit too far to drive every sunday :)

Ok I'm heading to Zipps up there for the Monday game. However, I'm heading to Connolly's for the season opener.

Anyone going to Zipps for the Monday night game?

[Palermo10]

I got Sunday Ticket... its going to be tough to convince myself to go to Connollys!!!

[Tony Wilson]

Be watching the first game at "The Murph"!!!! Yeah Boyeeeeeeee!:LightsOut: I'm gonna try to get up to Connolly's this year. Just so damn far from me. I live in Chandler and will be going to Zipps Gilbert some games. Gotta stay close to home as i like to sip on da juice a bit!:Cheers: Any Zipps is awesome cause they got bomb T.V.s and you can watch multiple games. I'm kind of biased cause I work for Zipps. Fellow Bolts fans stop in and say hello. Zipps gilbert tues, wed and zipps camelback thur, friday.

Looks like the wife and I will be at Connelly's for the opener. :) Looking forward to seeing a lot of Charger fans.

[jonneil]

My wife and I have been going to zipps at Frank lloyd wright in Scottsdale for the last couple of years. It's a great bar, and has a good bar food menu.
It usually pulls in a good Charger crowd, and we would love to have more show up.
We're both from San Diego, and miss going to the Murph for the games.
We will be going out to Denver this year to watch our boys play the chop blocking donkos......

HA... well I wont be there for the Panthers game, just to enjoy Sunday Ticket on week 1... but I'll definitely come for games. At the Jets game, out of town for the Patriots... hmm maybe Broncos game next weekend. Last year I came to Connollys we won 41-3 at Denver. I like.

:logoAwesome!!!! i was hoping there'd be a good place to go to over in the east valley, seeing how Connolly's is a bit far from me.
I gotta see the SD/DEN game with some SD fans no doubt!! I'm wearing SD stuff all week until the game. I had to tolerate haters the past couple days and all I can say to them is, "Screw you, and go play in traffic."
My ex is from the denver area.....nuff said. I hate the broncos.

[FanSince67]

Good to see Charger fans in AZ. I have a house in Lake Havasu City, and I was suprised at all the Charger fans I ran into at a local bar there this season.

[Palermo10]

Maybe I can convince the girlfriend that we need to be at Connollys on Sunday Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hellz yeah buddy. Awesome game @ Dark Horse! Good food, good fans.
I had a great time!!!

Any Phoenix area Bolts fans going to the upcoming Colts game? I will be driving to SD on Friday for the game and would love to take some fans with me or meet up overthere for some tailgating.

[Palermo10]

I've got 2 tickets for the Cardinals game on Saturday. Selling them below face value, please PM me. (you can always leave early and meet at Connollys for the Bolts game!!)

[darkhorse21]

Just wanting to know if any Charger fans that live in the Phoenix area know of "Charger Sports Bars"?

Thanks for the information
Go Bolts!
SDSU Alum owns The Dark Horse Sports Bar & Grill and is of course a SD Charger and Padre fan. The bar at 4929 W. Ray Rd. #3 Chandler, Az. on the SE Corner of Ray & Rural honors Happy Hour prices during all SD games.
You must try the $1 TJ Street Tacos, the Rooster Burger (made famous at the Red Rooster in Oceanside) or the Raiders Suck Burrito, they are great.
Ask for Lisa, the owner, she will be the one wearing her LT jersey.

Anyone thinking that they might want to go to the preseason game against the red-birds? Hubby and I are going to get tickets and plan to go no matter what, but I thought it would be fun to get a group together. Perhaps some of the Connolly's regulars want to meet up there first and then hit the stadium to watch the Bolts kick some Cardinal butt...

Connelly's... 51st Ave and Glendale Blvd.

The owner is form SD. 90% of the people that are there on Sundays are Chargers fans. A few other strays but still a great place to catch a Bolts game.
