I live in Northern and Central California (I travel between the Bay Area and Fresno), and I am huge Celtics fan.
Are any of you guys from my area, or does anyone know how I would go about finding other Celtics fans to maybe meet up and watch some games, or even potentially go to a few local ones (Sacramento, Golden State, etc.)? It's tough with the lack of Boston fans in my area! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
When I went to college in LA, most of my friends were from the Bay Area and surprisingly many of them were Celtics fans. Down in LA, there are a bunch of Boston bars, I'd guess there would be some in the Bay Area also. Try googling 'Boston Bar San Francisco', see if anything pops up. I found this:
San Francisco:
Connecticut Yankee
100 Connecticut St. (at 17th St.)
415-552-4440
This sports bar in the Potrero Hill neighborhood is home to local Sox fans and covered in Red Sox memorabilia. The Connecticut Yankee has five TVs, a full bar and a back patio for outdoor dining and drinking. Be warned some fans have had bad experiences here (sound only in the back room, you can't clap loudly for the Red Sox without drawing complaints).
Dave's Bar
29 Third St.
415-495-6726
Red Sox-friendly, low key dive bar with cheap draft beer. Located in the heart of SoMa, two blocks from the Moscone Center.
The Buccaneer
2155 Polk St.
415-673-8023
Wall to wall Red Sox shirts make this Russian Hill neighborhood bar a friendly New England outpost.
