re: Has anyone ever watched March Madness at a bar/restaurant all day

Please be prepared to tip overly well. This is called camping and you could cost a waiter or waitress a ton of money by taking up one of their probably four table section all day.

My friends and I are taking tomorrow off and planning to do this, though it is also St. Patrick's Day, so you being at a bar/restaurant and ordering consistently is probably encouraged.

And it's probably a good idea to close out at shift change and start over with the new server.

Go to a sports bar and just leave the server a tip when they shift change.

This^^

Especially if you aren't going to be eating and drinking all day. Explain to the server/bartender what's up and tell them you are going to take good care of them and then do it. Give them a huge tip. frick the bar/restaurant making money!! You take care of the staff and you will have no problems.

Buddy and I watched at a bar a few years ago. All dat. It was awesome

Talking to golden nugget here

Not for March Madness but we camped out at a Baumhower's one year on New Year's Day for all the bowl games. Got there around 11 and didn't leave until after dark. We had appetizers around noon, ordered lunch around 3, and closed out around 5. It was just my Dad and I taking up two stools at the bar. And Dad would buy a drink for someone that walked up several times just so the bartenders didn't worry with us taking up a spot all day.

Sucks man I've had more channels and better Wi-Fi in the hotels I stayed at in Bumfrick Idaho/Wyoming when moving here

Not doing to a bar because I don't have that much money to be spending. Will just have to stream TruTV games on my phone and be creative to conserve data use

We have been doing this for year, each year we go somewhere different, Indianapolis, Lville, Lexingotn, Cbus, Cleveland, etc. WE get a hotel and basically hit up 2-3 different sports bars a day. WE have never stayed at the same place for all of one day as that is literally a 12 hour day.

They don't care, but you need to take care of your waitress. I usally tip a min of 15-20$ if we are there for four hours. Screw the business and ordering a ton of food, it is the staff I care about.

This will lead me to drinking....boyz this weekend is a marathon, not a fire cracker. 4 days of straight BBall is rough, it's easy to get excited on day 1 and ruin it. Take it slow, this weekend St Pattys day is Fri... youch and by the time that UD game starts Fri night, let's just say I'll be Uhmm "rowdy".

PEdialite, make sure you go to bed pounding pedialite and 2 IB profiens, that helps.

Another trick is the old wiskey and coke. I will take a flask into the bars and top off my Coke's, you can call me a cheap arse, but 4 days worth of drinks adds up to 100s$ of dollars. Always pregame in the hotel with a shot before you leave!!
