The only problem with a tailgate is it will be be dark at 5:30...forgot about that when I proposed it. Might be better to go with the original plan of meeting at the restaurant.
Farrells Sports Bar/Brew Pub looks good with happy hour between 5 and 7
Farrells is downtown and is the happening area of the city...probably a good area to return to for any of those wishing to celebrate. Right now lets meet at 5pm...I'm calling the manager tomorrow and see if they can open up 30 mins earlier.
