My wife and I are heading down on the 4th for the home opener and also the game vs Wpg. We are thinking about heading the Edm game at the Tavern...keep reading how awesome the experience is
It is! It will be crowded -- and to be completely honest -- this is NOT an upscale bar. It's a kinda dingy, dirty, watering hole-- if you blink, you'll miss it. Food was decent and its filled with Isles fans, so ya gotta love that part.
If you are solo, then you are ok -- if you are with wife/family -- perhaps plan to stay for a period or so before you get the look of death from the others..

Oh my god you ate there?It is! It will be crowded -- and to be completely honest -- this is NOT an upscale bar. It's a kinda dingy, dirty, watering hole-- if you blink, you'll miss it. Food was decent and its filled with Isles fans, so ya gotta love that part.

I don't think I'd do that... Tons of great restaurants nearby.Yeah the place is a dive. I was there for a playoff game and the place was extremely crowded. 90% of the crowd is dudes in their 20's and 30's. Pretty rowdy atmosphere. Agree with Bones - don't bring your family. Though I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by how diverse the crowd was. Black, Latino, gay (well it is in Chelsea) Isles fans representing... Not sure you'd have that without the move to Barclays. Probably wouldn't have Offside Tavern either... Maybe that is the silver lining of the foray into Brooklyn - at least slightly penetrated the NYC market and planted some seeds...

I love the idea of an Islanders bar in the city, but I pretty much have zero desire to go there.

Sort of like what's happened with Bagel Boss, the place gets a lot of free advertising from Islanders fans now.
We are taking in the first two live.....the decision not to get tickets for Edm game was really around $$$
View from 14th st is better than in person at Barclays

If you can't get a ticket for $10 on the secondary market I'd be shocked (and I mean you'd be seeing freaking McJesus).

You'll probably spend more money at the bar than you will on tix for the game that night.

True, but if you buy food at the game, parking + beer / drinks. That adds up quickly.

Back in the 80s the only Bagel Boss was South Oyster Bay Rd and Woodbury rd . It had only a small counter with bins full of bagels and a small fridge if you needed cream cheese or butter. Nothing better at 4am after a night out than an always hot Bagel Boss bagel.
( or 2 ) . I remember they always had these giant brown bags filled with bagels and vans constantly picking them up for delivery . Now there is a bagel store on every corner and most of them suck . Can I say that ?
You must be quite picky.
A and S bagels on 24 in Franklin square after Dublin Pub. That's where its at.

If anyone is interested, on opening night we are meeting at the Blue Oyster Bar. Great place, P.M. for address.

Right. So don't do that! The EDM game is at Barclays. There's no shortage of places to booze up before and have dinner afterwards in Downtown Brooklyn.

Can’t wait!
That's MattMartins place, Guys n Dolls. Makes sense now.
