Parlor Sports for the Win

I know, I know, I blog about Parlor Sports all the time but they deserve it!  It's the "Cheers" of Inman Square and we love it.  Why do we love it so much?

*When they see us coming they have the tv set to UConn and show up at our table with our favorite beers and let us know our nacho order is already in.

*When we took my dad they gave him the royal treatment.

*They let me ring the bell when UConn regained the #1 ranking.

*They turned the Bachelor (a show I don't even watch but want to now) into a sporting event.



*They actually know a thing or two about the UConn women's basketball team.

*They gave us that autographed Geno Auriemma bottle of wine last year.

*The Thursday of March Madness at Parlor Sports.

The Thursday of March Madness is a magical day.  Everyone feels optimistic about their brackets and then the upsets and buzzer beaters start.  I've been saving my personal day for this great day for the last several years and for the last four years I've been spending the day at Parlor Sports.  This year we were the first ones there and got great seats at the bar.  The owner happened to be seating near us and he was talking Huskies with me!  I love that he comes to the bar to enjoy March Madness!  We were there for the Georgia State game and when they pulled off their upset win at the buzzer I happily shouted out "I picked it!"  It was so much fun.  On the way out our favorite bartender and the owner told us to to have fun at the Husky game and that they were rooting for us!  It was awesome!  They really do treat their regulars well.
