Jeff...@aol.com, author of the weekly email Packer Updates distributed a
bar list with one of the last updates. Here it is.
****BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT****
This is a list of places to watch the Green Bay Packers on game days
throughout the United States, excluding Wisconsin (where you should be able
to watch anywhere). In some cases, there are brief descriptions of what it's
like on game days, with addresses and phone numbers. ("Regulars" means
there's a regular crowd of Packers fans on game days.)
This list was updated in July 1995, with the gracious help of many folks
from
all over the country. Thanks especially to Bruce Lattimore, Stephen Savard
and Joe Olejniczak for compiling and updating earlier, often quite detailed,
lists.
Feel free to post this list on bulletin boards and other services, and to
share it with other Packers fans.
Please remember, though, that changes are frequent in the restaurant and
tavern business. Last year's hot spot may be this year's coffee bar. If you
find a listing to be incorrect, or if you would like to add to the
description of a place, please send an e-mail message to Jeff...@aol.com
