Are you missing your beloved Black-n-Gold play?
If you are, then check this list to see if there's someplace nearby where
you can faithfully follow the exploits of the Steelers! I take no responsibility
for the validity of this list, nor am I endorsing any of these establishments --
this is provided only as an information service. If you know of any places
not included on this list (preferably outside of Pittsburgh, since you can watch
the game on TV anywhere in the 'Burgh area), please send me the relevant
info at vernon@cs.cmu.edu being sure to follow the format of the other entries.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.

McGinty's Sports Bar and Restaurant
1795 S. Victoria Avenue
Ventura, California
(805) 658-7390
No cover.
Typical bar fare: Breakfast for the early games (10am), sandwiches for the late
games (1pm). Prices a hair on the high side.
Drinks: Full bar, average prices
Age limit: none
Steelers fans: Not a lot (but sometimes a few)
Other fans: Mix of fans for most other teams, heavy on the California teams
This bar shows all the games. They have tv's scattered all over
the place, and a grandstand built in the middle of the bar so the
fans can sit in the bleacher seats and cheer their team. The
only problem is, you don't have your own speaker, so you wind up
listening to the game the majority of the customers want to hear,
which is usually LA Rams or Raiders...

Capoziello's
South Hamilton Road
Columbus, Ohio
No cover.

Drinks: Full bar, average prices

This place has four big screens, three in the dining room upstairs
and one downstairs. When the Steelers are playing the Brownies or
the Bungholes, the dining room fills up with about 1/3 Stiller fans
and 2/3 enemy fans. When the Steelers play someone else, they
usually show the game downstairs, and the room is full of nuthin'
but black-n-gold...

RJ's
12743 Jefferson Ave
Newport News, VA
(804) 874-4246
No cover charge.
Typical bar fare: sandwiches, some dinners, daily specials, wings, fries.
They do prepare an excellent Pittsburgh-inspired sausage sandwich.
The wings are excellent, the salads a bit smallish, and overall the
prices are about average.
Drinks: several domestic beers on tap (no Iron), decent variety of bottled beers,
full bar (in case the game does not go well).
Age requirement: since it is a restaurant/bar (as are most places in SE VA),
all ages are welcome for Steeler games. There might be restrictions at night.
Steeler fans: there is a strong contingent of Steeler fans in the bar. They are loud,
knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. The official bar policy is that whoever
has the most fans gets the big screen and there has never been a Steeler
game when we didn't get it. They have two satellite dishes so they show all
the Steeler games.
RJ's also shows Pens games on request. It's a great place to watch a game
but it is not very large. One must arrive about 45 minutes prior to game time
to be guaranteed a seat in front of the big screen -- unless the game is on
national TV when attendance drops off.
