What time have these been closing? Back in 2005 & 2006 these closed around 9:15/9:30. Just wanted to see if they are staying open later for us thirsty folks.

    Not sure what time they close, hopefully its later than that considering they get on stage around nine.

    Just make sure you don't get up too often, because people on here will bitch about it to no end

    i hear ya. I don't like getting up at all but at some point during the show you just need a cold refreshing brew to re-energize...and keep the buzz going a little longer.

    If it were up to me I'd shut the beer stands down at 8:00. Maybe it would cut down on all the drunken assholes.

    Because you like dealing with drunken assholes? Good. Then I hope one day you or someone in your family is injured or even killed by one of these drunken assholes. Let's see how you feel about the beer stands remaining open after something like that happens.

    ^ don't be such a pussy. Beer is part of rock n roll-




    as far as the times for last call it's done on a venue by venue basis. Usually around 10:15 or so they kill it. Thats how it was on Florida at least

    Where are the good beer stands at MSG? Besides the typical A-B Miller and Coors varieties.

    Ha, yeah I would have said MD 20/20, love the stuff....but the guy JR who started this thread is a pussy so I had to throw out the zima to him.

    He's just worried about the beer stand closing because it usually takes him 1.5 hours to finish one so he wants to end up with two before the end of the show.

    Amen! Alcohol doesn't enhance the concert experience, just degrades it.

    Some drunk asshole showed up in the row in front of us in Camden, they tried to argue with the drunk assholes that were already in front of us that they were in their seats. After 1 fight, they were hugging. After the second fight, one drunk girlfriend was on her ass. When security came to take the drunk asshole out, his drunk girlfriend decided to throw her entire paper cup of "beer" at the drunk assholes in front of us. Too bad she hit us. We spent the entire show covered in nasty bud lite.

    One person in front of us passed out and missed the entire PJ show. I love beer more than most. But the racing beer that most venues sell is swill. It doesn't even taste like beer, and only a moron would spend $12 to drink it!

    Yeah no idea why he would ever think or say something like that.


    I know there is an irish pub on the fifth floor. so for those of us who plan on being in upper level thats an option. other than that there are several others scattered around the levels. not sure of any names

    I'm all for the servers using their own discretion when it comes down to selling to those who have had too much, but you cant take this privilege away from everyone just because a few jerks have ticked a couple of you off around here.

    Wow Pat, you really have too much time on your hands these days. This is pretty f'n funny. This comes from the kid that was on a street corner huffing down balloons after the Black Keys show.

    In all seriousness, some of us like to have a couple drinks and still enjoy the show and be curtious to everyone around. Getting to the point where you get extremely wasted and don't remember the show is pretty dumb (Pat usually has to buy the bootlegs to remember the show). There's always going to be a drunk idoit (usually Pat) that ruins it for everyone. I remember the time when he threw up on someone at the second Meadowlands show in 2006 and also was escorted out by security for head butting the person next to him at the Toledo show in 2004 when they asked him to stop screaming "Play Betterman you pussies".

    I pray to God they put me next to Biggest Dick. I would make a point of it that he wont enjoy one second of that show, and if i don't either so be it this would be satisfaction enough. Talk about uptight.

    in DC i saw people coming back with beer around 10:15 or so.

    however, i hope your priority is not beer... i mean you're at a concert, you shouldnt care that much about beer at it
