[quote dietlbomb]Is there a good place to pregame in Schenectady?

The Union Inn on Union Street, Pinhead Susan's on Liberty Street, Katie O'byrnes and Clinton's Ditch (Both on Erie) are all good places for a drink. Union Inn is closest, the others are all roughly the same distance. All are within walking distance.

edit:

if you are looking for food along with your drink, I think the food is best at Pinhead's. It's the usual bar type food, just make sure you try the sweet potato fries.

We tried out Clinton's Ditch for last year's playoff and had a good meal.  Some good beers on tap too...Guinness and Smithwicks come to mind.

Originally we wanted to go to Pinhead Susan's but it was packed which is a good sign I guess.  Now that I think of it I believe there was some sort of drinking festival going on at the time too.  I still have this horrible memory of some drunk girl tripping and planting her face in the sidewalk.  Still makes me shudder.

from the Onion website:

SCHENECTADY, NY – As the Union College men's ice hockey team prepares for its nationally televised game against No. 5 Cornell, the Dutchmen received even more exposure, being featured on ESPN.com. College Sports section. The article can be accessed by clicking here.
 
The Dutchmen welcome the Big Red to Messa Rink on Friday, Jan. 16 at 7:30 p.m. and the Red Raiders of Colgate on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 7:00 p.m. Friday's game will be televised on the NHL Network, locally on Time Warner Sports Channel 3 and through the internet. Fans can catch both games on WRUC FM 89.7 or online at Teamline.cc. Live stats will be provided through UnionAthletics.com.


Also noticed that the game is listed at 7:30 on Time Warner Albany.

We should all be able to make it early enough to see warm ups!
Edit:

I just read Jim Hyla's Cornell on TV thread, so 7:30 it is.

Let's hope the little strip of parking spots by the football field has some space left by the time I get there !  This frigid weather here in Albany is not conducive to long walks outside...
