Was at the Blatt place yesterday, not really a sports inclined crowd, lots of wannabe rich d-bags hanging out on the roof. None of them were there for the CWS, just to be seen with their white hats and what not... Although the bar is pretty neat, and I found it funny that a hipster wannabe bar served coors light... I guess they were being ironic... To be fair it was kind of nice to get away from the non-stop baseball overload.
The set up at The Mat is huge. Go there if you want to talk smack with people that watch baseball. As usual I saw a lot of LSU fans who come just to come.
It's my first time back since they moved. I will miss the old RV areas, but overall I thin this is a massive step forward, oh and I really enjoyed the quick in and out, tons of parking (if your will to pay a little), and the fact I wasn't parking in some guys back yard
Wow, I sense anger in this post! haha
I don't know about you but personally I don't want a baseball crowd there, I want hot girls there and I want to chill out with my friends!
I need to stop posting when hung over, it sounds way more angry than I intended sorry about that....
Yeah the hot girl part of it was awesome, everywhere we went Saturday had hotties running around, and the Blatt had some of the best. What I am getting at this is not a place to go hang out if you care about the CWS or who is playing, the upstairs part had one TV, and, like others have said, no one cared, on top of that crappy beer, unless you went to the main bar and they had some OK micros. Being I am no longer 22, I dont enjoy standing around drinking beer, if I want to act like I'm at a kegger, I'll have one at the house, if I'm in for the long haul (like Saturday) I want to have the choice of sitting/standing, granted I'm getting old. If you are going to Omaha to enjoy the CWS scene, and care about the baseball being played, then just stop by.
I had a Stoney Brook hat on, and I think I was the only one with an actual sports related hat.
PS if you were there Sat afternoon, I was the huge guy with a blue polo shirt, and white (gag) Stony Brook hat, more than likely talking to a short blond girl......
