DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Russell Springs, Kentucky Browns Viewing

Howdy

We plan on being in Russel Springs KY for the 10/3 game against the Vikings. I know we have Browns' fans everywhere and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to watch.

I don't mind a bar or whatever, but I would love to have a place me and my sweetie can watch the game.

If you have ideas please let me know.

Thank you

I'm sure some Dawg will help you further. Enjoy either way!

I've been hoping to keep it under an hour drive from where we are staying.

I did look at the Backers and I might have to go that route.

Thank you for the response though.

Not sure about that Hour, Russell Springs by map is pretty remote, how far is Nashville.

(the back end of nowhere)

I didn't do a lot of checking, but I wouldn't count on Russell Springs for any viewing of the game unless you luck out and it is on local TV.

I don't know who's idea that was, but it probably wasn't yours.

Sounds like some relative is getting married. If you need some help, let me know. I am good at getting out of that sort of thing. If it is your girlfriends idea, you've got to lay down some parameters my friend.

Isn't Russell Springs still dry ?

I am really looking forward to seeing family, I just want to watch the game too.

I have Sunday Ticket and I believe I can see it on my tablet as a last resort, but I was hoping for a bigger screen.

With my neices it won't stay that way.

I have been up to Jamestown Tn, several times, both for work and to visit Alvin York's homestead/museum which is near there, and it was dry, as is most of that area. Seeing that the town in question might be 40-50 miles away, I'd say the chances are good. You best pack your own unless you know a "shiner" or bootlegger selling out of their trunk.

What I do know is that being dry is determined in most cases by county. Those two locations are in different states and that certainly means different counties.

Russell County Kentucky, where Russell Springs Ky. is located became a wet county in 2016.

In November the get together was in a dry county in AR. Booze was not an issue.

Yes, I know they are in different states. I also know that area of the country is very similar.

I didn't know if they were or weren't. Just basing it off my experience of 20 years ago and why I said there was a good chance, and as with any chance, that means it could be different.

Thanks for taking the time to look up the current status
that evidently changed 5 years ago.

If they have a smart TV, cast your tablet to their TV, if they don't, spend the $20 on a Google Chromecast and attach it to their TV and cast through that and watch it on TV.

Ok, after a quick search, there appears to be a place called Buffalo Wings & Rings in Somerset, KY, which is about half an hour from Russell Springs and they have 39 TVs and advertise having the NFL Sunday Ticket, which would mean they should show all the games.

I saw the one in Danville. I don't know how I missed that one.

Are they any good? One thing I had hoped was someone with direct knowledge of the area would chime in.

Thank you for pointing out this one. I appreciate it.

I have been to a wings and rings..down in Fla. They are similar to Buffalo wild wings. I didn't think as good, but hey, we are talking wings and burgers here...how good or bad can they be?

I've been to a couple in the Cinci area, and I found it to be same as BWW... though neither place is my preference as far as food goes.

I have no idea if they are any good. I was just trying to find a place for you to watch the game. I thought that was the mission, not critique the menu and the service.

It's actually odd that Frank Z brought up Danville Ky. Back in the early eighties I was still applying polyurethane roofing systems and we did a college in Danville. So I know what you mean about areas being similar in dry areas. Hell, we had to go all the way to Lexington to buy beer. No matter how much beer we brought with us we always managed to run out by the middle of the week.

They did have one interesting thing I had never seen before. The locals called them "set up joints". Where after the bars closed you could go to what looked very much like a bar. The only thing is they would sell you the soda and mixers and you brought your own booze.

It's hard to tell how much things have changed since then.

Sounds like they have some nice fishing. Large records.

So a funny thing happened on the way to Russel Springs, evidently we are just east enough to have the game on TV and not get the Titans here.

Yay!
