Sports Bars

Hi there...

We are coming down to SK in 2 weeks and wondering if anyone knows where we might be able to catch Notre Dame football being televised.

Who will ND be playing? That will determine my answer. The best ones are on the mainland. Where are you staying on SK?

Most people here are from somewhere else. There are many sports bars in the area.

Hi there.

Thanks for you help....

We are staying at Sandy Toes on Sara Sea Circle -- It%26#39;s one of the few places on the Key that we could find that we could bring our Boxer dogs with us!

My family has been staying on Sara Sea since the 70%26#39;s - the old Waters Edge use to be our stomping ground as kids!!

My new hubby is a HUGE ND fan ... so finding a place to have some ND fun is for him!!

We will be there for the October 28th Game ND vs. Navy (Baltimore)

and the November 4th Game ND vs. North Carolina

Any advice on Dog stuff to do as well would be great -- we take them down to Venice every day ... and I%26#39;ve been scouring the internet for new things to do with them. Have all the dog parks outlined. The Old Salty Dog said we can bring them to restaurant... etc...

Thanks for the help!

We will be there 2 weeks from tomorrow - can%26#39;t wait - we are in frigid Northern Ohio -- woke up to 29 degree weather this AM!!

what about the restuarant on Ocean Blvd right next door to the Lobster Pot. Can%26#39;t remember the exact name...Beach Club or something like that. I mention this place because they have TV%26#39;s in each booth with your own remote control, so you watch what you want to watch.

Yes, it is called the Beach Club an dthey do have their own little TVs.

Good idea.

I know when I go to a sports bar, I want a BIG TV and to sit around a bar with lots of crazy fans!
