If you also are looking to eat, I would suggest any of the following. Wallaby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Old Chicago, or The Bolder Tap House. Otherwise it would be on at anyplace with a TV.
Whiskey gets a crowd. Corner pockets isn't bad. Haven't been since college but Welch ave was good.
Small low key option is thumbs, all friendly regulars in there. I'm fishing otherwise I'd probably be there as well
