"It's a Blue's bar: San Francisco tavern a home for Giants fans"

SAN FRANCISCO — The only Giants bar in enemy territory here is going to need extra security this weekend!
A former Westchester County resident who owns a New York-centric sports bar in the heart of Frisco
is expecting a flood of Big Apple fans for Sunday's game — and preparing to face the wrath of the 49ers' faithful.
"We're gonna have a few extra security guards," said Ace's owner Scott Broccoli. "We just want to make sure there aren't any
knuckleheads out there that come by after the game — especially if the Giants win."... read full article

"WHY?Sleeping with the enemy."

No matter how you feel about the 49ers letting their ticket to the Super Bowl disappear in overtime,
you have to admit that the Giants played well and are worthy of our support.
Ace's is one of the best sports bars in the city and, especially for fans of New York sports teams,
is like coming home. They describe themselves in contradictory terms as a "Nob Hill dive bar."
But they're right. The 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. opening time marks it as a true dive,
but it's Nob Hill enough so that your girlfriend won't be disgusted by the bathrooms.

"Top 10 New York Giants Sports Bars"

Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, and I wonder – if I were a supporter
of either the New England Patriots or the New York Giants – would I splash out the money
to attend the game in person (as I did when my team, the Oakland Raiders, met the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in San Diego)
or would I watch the game at home – or in a sports bar?
Definitely not at home. But I'm not sure if I'd want to watch the game in a bar or at the stadium... read full article

"A New York Giant Fan in San Francisco"

Childhood memories of my father wearing electric socks to December games,
meeting star running back Ron Johnson in the living room of my house, and Tight End Gary Shirk
catching third down passes short of the first down marker will forever define my early Giant fan experience.
But seeing Harry Carson win a Superbowl with the great LT, Banks, Bavaro & Co. after playing on so many bad Giants
teams gave me hope that a higher football spirit is out there. Two superbowl victories later,
is another Superbowl win in store for the Giants this season?
After moving to San Francisco in 1997... read full article
