With no home games, watching the San Diego Padres-Chicago Cubs postseason games means there are three options:
• At home (boring)
• At a bar with other Padres fans
• At Gallagher Square, which is having Padres post-season game-watching parties
The games againt the Cubbies took place Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, starting at Noon. The third game was played on Thursday. This is a best-of-three series so the team that wins two games wins the series and advances to the next round against Milwaukee. The Dodgers are in the other National League bracket so both teams would need to win two rounds to set up a Southern California NL Championship Series. And that would be electrifying!
Gallagher Square Watch Party Information
Watch party tickets are $5 which Padres officials say go straight to the Padres Foundation. Gates will open one hour before the first pitch, with entry through the East Village Gate and Balboa Gate. The games are shown on a massive 75-foot videoboard on the Sycuan Stage. PubClub.com is not sure about food and drinks although it would be safe to assume both will be available. You can certainly get each of those from the second-floor rooftop of the bar Fairweather, which has a nice overhead view of the big screen and Gallagher Square. If the Padres win this series, the watch parties will continue for Games 1, 2, and 5.
Bars Around The Stadium To Watch The Padres
There are a dozens of places to watch the Padres around Petco Park and here’s PubClub.com’s picks of the best: Bub’s By The Ballpark, The Smoking Gun, Barlemash, Whiskey Girl, Tom’s, Knotty Barrel, Villian’s Brewing, East Village Tavern & Bowl and, of course, the aforementioned Fairweather.
