Not sure what exactly you're looking for, but there are a plethora of places right down 3rd street or just across the river on Water street.

I see this game is one of the guys night out deals for $20 and up. Anyone ever do this and how are the seats?

If you and your friends don't mind strip clubs, you might get lucky and be able to make it rain with Monroe at Arts.

Tickets I'd go with Seatgeek and google a promo code when you do it. You can usually get a really good deal on them this way.

Hotel wise, I'd stay at the Hyatt. Parking is right there on site and you are just a couple blocks from the Bradley Center.

As far as bars go, it all depends what kind of place you want to go to. Hafbrauhuas is always fun, but it is always packed Wall to wall. It's a German bar with authentic music, authentic food, large pints of beer and hammerschlagen. The wait for a beer is worth it. Goolsbys is an overpriced sports bar that is known for getting its fair share of athletes in trouble…Larry Sanders was one of them. Trinity has live music in one area, an outdoor area and an indoor dance floor that is always hectic. The live music is always pretty fun. Rosie's on water is affordable and a decent bar overall, especially if you want to actually hear yourself talking. I'd definitely recommend Rosie's as your pregame bar.

This was the place to be after games in the early 2000's. For my friends and I, at least.

Went to Silk after a game one night and John henson was there. Best part was he had rolled his ankle during the first half and had to leave. Didn't stop him from hitting the club lol

Thinking of going to game tonight vs OKC. If I use StubHub do I have to print out the tickets or can I use my phone?

I'd say hit up Major Goolsbys where you can run in to a bunch of Bucks fans pre and post game. But yeah, tons of bars and restaurants within walking distance

The Ambassador hotel is neat. Jeff Dahmer killed a guy there and snuck his corpse out in a suitcase.

Aloft was only 76 bucks last Friday when I checked and close to water and 3rd where all the bars are located.

I think the most underrated deal at the BC is the refugee food stand. A smoothie, wrap, carrots and chips for 12 bucks. Great for a weekday night where even a soda costs 8.50.

If anyone is ever interested in staying at the Aloft, send me a PM. I can get you a better price than what you'll find online.

Milwaukee Brathouse is usually my go to for pregaming when I head to games.

I agree with twirl, I think the first couple rows of the upper level is underrated especially factoring in price.

Guys night out deal is decent and have done it before.

So glad we are getting a new stadium sick of this hockey stadium we have. I refuse to sit in the upper deck because it is not worth it to go.

MartyConlonOnTheRun · Post #37 » by **MartyConlonOnTheRun** » Tue Jan 3, 2017 10:32 pm

I guess I would rather have the BC with bad sightlines than whatever the next prices are going to be. Smaller stadium, new arena and super star talent? Good luck getting upper deck for under 25 and good uppers for under 50.

Never noticed how many seat snobs are on this board.

I never was until I had kids. Now I can only get to about 5 games a year and I'm not sitting in **** seats when I go.

Really, the only place I won't sit is the folding chairs and if they just got new ones that were more comfortable, I'd sit there too.
