Play Hooky With Us

This year the first day of the NCAA tournament occurs on St. Patrick's Day, so if there was ever a time to watch the games in a bar, this is it. Unfortunately, neither the Notre Dame Fighting Irish nor the Tulane Green Wave made the tourney. But our hometown Huskies did. In fact, they are one of the favorites. Their first-round game is today at noon. The tournament's first games begin at 9 am, and several local bars are opening early to accomodate basketball and liquor fans:

The Attic: 4226 East Madison (Madison Park)
NOTE: (Both yours truly and Seattlest contributor Dave will be here. I'll be wearing a sportscoat. Dave has short hair. Come say hi.)

Fox Sports Grill: 1522 6th Avenue (Downtown)
If you work downtown and can take an extended lunch, watch the Dawgs here.

Sport: 140 Fourth Avenue (Fisher Plaza, Seattle Center)
KJR will be broadcasting from this new restaurant. It opened in January.

F.X. McCrory's: 417 Occidental Avenue South (Pioneer Square)
The bar opens at 9.
